New data on seed coat micromorphology of nine Impatiens species
Seed coat micromorphology is useful for solving taxonomic problems in different plant groups, yet only about 200 of 1000 known Impatiens species has such studies done. New data on seed…

Climate change negatively affects the breeding success of collared flycatcher through a cascade of further impacts
Another ecological story about the connection of “everything to everything”: climate change is having a negative impact on the breeding success of collared flycatcher through a cascade of further impacts.…
Trends in biodiversity change on a local scale often diverge from global patterns – our new paper in Nature Communications
The loss of species diversity on a global scale is very well documented. However, as we show in our latest article, which has just been published in Nature Communications, local…
Dr. P. Czortek and Prof. B. Jaroszewicz co-authored of the first comprehensive work on functional ecology of lichens in the primeval forest
Together with lichenologists from Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce and University of Gdańsk, we have made an attempt to identify the ecological mechanisms shaping the patterns of co-occurrence of 313…
Earthworms transform the environment according to their needs
In nature, not only is “everything connected to everything,” as Humboldt wrote almost 200 years ago, but often these connections are feedback. In an article published in Functional Ecology https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2435.13668…

We are pleased to announce that professor Bogdan Jaroszewicz has been nominated for the Polish Intelligent Development Award in the Scientist of the Future category. The award is related to…
Professor Bogdan Jaroszewicz co-authored an article in Science about forest response to climate warming
The dense ceiling of tree crowns has a strong buffering effect on the microclimate of the forest floor, which delays the undergrowth response to climate warming. Unfortunately, the progressive warming…
Changes in species composition of oak-hornbeam communities in the Białowieża Forest over the last seventy years
Olga Cholewińska (with co-authors) published a paper in the Forests journal on changes in the species composition of oak-hornbeam communities in the Białowieża Forest over the course of seventy years.…
Climate warming increases the risk of plant damage caused by late-spring frosts
Contrary to intuition, global warming increases the risk of plant damage due to late-spring frosts. An article in PNAS, co-authored by prof. Bogdan Jaroszewicz, appeared on the eve of the…
