Main research interests
The structure of the species in paramecium (Protista) ossicles.
Biogeography of eukaryotic micro-organisms in the light of the assessment of the genetic variability of the natural populations of eyelashes belonging to the genus Paramecium (Protista).
Current research tasks
- Analysis of variability of mitochondrial fragment of the COI gene in the eye Paramecium caudatum. Can we talk about the presence of cryptic species?
- Local variability of natural populations Paramecium caudatum (eagles, Protista) against the background of variation of the global species.
- Assessment of population variability of cosmopolitan species Paramecium primaurelia.
- DNA barcode in eukaryotic micro-organisms – whether it is a sufficient tool for species identification in a typeParamecium?
- Genetic and morphological differentiationPseudothyretes(Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae).
- Fossil DNA as a means of testing domestication of sheep (Ovis aries) in Poland.
