Martyna Syposz is a behavioral ecologist currently researching at the Department of Vertebrate Ecology and Zoology, Faculty of Biology, University of Gdańsk. Previously affiliated with the University of Oxford's Zoology Department and Queen Mary University of London, her work bridges cognitive science and ecology through the study of avian navigation systems and climate-driven migration patterns.
Her research focuses on animal behavior and ecological responses to climate oscillations, particularly examining how trans-hemispheric migrants like shearwaters adapt navigation strategies to environmental changes. Using biologging and spatial analysis, she investigates cognitive processes underlying long-distance migration and the impacts of phenomena like El Niño–Southern Oscillation on ocean ecosystem productivity and subsequent behavioral adaptations.
Dr. Syposz's recent publications demonstrate strong international collaboration across European, Asian, and Oceanic institutions. Her 2024 work in Proceedings of the Royal Society B analyzed climate-migration relationships in seabirds, while her 2022 Biology Letters study revealed unexpected homing detours in shearwaters when natural navigational cues were disrupted, advancing understanding of avian cognitive mapping.
Her research program maintains active field studies across multiple oceanic regions, with data collection involving satellite tracking and environmental monitoring. Current projects appear focused on predicting climate change impacts on migratory pathways through longitudinal analysis of movement ecology datasets.
