Dagmara Blonska

Dagmara Blonska is a Research Fellow at Bournemouth University, specialising in the ecology of invasive species and their impacts on native communities. Her work focuses on biological invasions as a critical threat to biodiversity, with particular emphasis on Ponto-Caspian goby fish and their interactions with native ichthyofauna and amphipods.

• Current Research: Quantifying fish pass selection pressures using acoustic telemetry to predict ecological and evolutionary consequences.
• Methodology: Laboratory experiments on competitive interactions, oxidative stress parameters, and antioxidant system variability in invasive gobies across latitudinal gradients.

Scientific Awards:

• Marie Curie Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship

Key Publications Trends:Analyzes invasive fish migration patterns, competitive behaviors, physiological stress responses, and conservation strategies using multidisciplinary ecological approaches.

Grants:Recipient of the European Commission grant (06 Sep 2023) for "Predicting the ecological and evolutionary consequences of barriers and fish passes in Europe's rivers."
