Biography
Michał Bogdziewicz is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Environmental Biology, Adam Mickiewicz University (AMU) in Poznań, Poland, and the director of Forest Biology Center. His research is rooted in forest ecology and includes mechanisms driving variation in plant fecundity, and the ecological and evolutionary processes underlying mast seeding. A major aim of his work is to understand the proximate and ultimate drivers of pulsed reproduction, its socioecological consequences, and the impacts of climate change on seed production and recruitment in forest trees.
His PhD was jointly supervised by Rafał Zwolak (AMU) and Elizabeth Crone (Tufts University, USA). Following his PhD, he completed two postdoctoral positions at CREAF, Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain. He was also a Bekker Fellow at LESSEM, at INRAE in Grenoble (France) where he worked in the Mast Inference and Prediction (MASTIF) project led by James Clark (Duke University, NC, USA).
