Michał Glądalski

Michał Glądalski serves as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Experimental Zoology and Evolutionary Biology within the Faculty of Biology and Environmental Protection at the University of Lodz. His research focuses on the evolutionary ecology of secondary cavity-nesters, with specific emphasis on avian reproductive traits and phenological patterns in both urban park-garden and forest environments.

• Master's Degree (2008): Environmental Protection (Conservation Focus), University of Lodz
• PhD (2013): Evolutionary Biology and Behavioral Ecology, University of Lodz
• Habilitation (2018): Evolutionary Biology and Behavioral Ecology, University of Lodz

Glądalski's primary research investigates long-term variability in breeding characteristics of Cyanistes caeruleus (Blue Tit) and Parus major (Great Tit) across different habitats. His work combines morphometric analysis, reproductive trait monitoring, and ecological niche modeling to understand avian adaptation in changing environments. The research has significant implications for conservation biology and urban ecology, particularly regarding how bird species adapt to anthropogenic landscapes.

His scientific output centers on avian phenology and functional characteristics of secondary cavity-nesters' nests, contributing to broader understanding of evolutionary responses to environmental change. Glądalski maintains active research collaboration within the Department of Experimental Zoology and Evolutionary Biology team.

While no formal scientific awards are listed in available documentation, Glądalski has achieved recognition through his habilitation and significant publication record in ornithological research. His academic journey demonstrates consistent progression from Master's research on warbler morphometrics to habilitation-level work on tit species breeding dynamics.

Glądalski maintains an active advising role within the department and participates in various research grants focused on avian ecology. His laboratory work in Building A (Banacha 12/16, room 16) serves as a hub for ongoing field studies and data analysis related to cavity-nesting bird populations.
