We offer opportunities to work on insect ecology for students (Poland/Ukraine) or a researcher from Ukraine. We have some NCN funding from our project "Insect adaptation to individual trees in a forest as a function of isolation from neighbouring trees: field experiments on oaks". Practical work includes sampling insects and leaves from mature oak trees, rearing moths and leaf miners, sorting and measuring insects. The fieldwork takes place in Puszcza Zielonka, a forest near Poznan, Poland. We are also offering opportunities to work on other projects on leaf miners and gallers, and data on tropical butterflies. We are looking for skills in entomology, plant chemistry, and data analysis (multivariate, time-series, mark-recapture).
