About

Rafał Kowalczyk is a Professor at the Mammal Research Institute in Poland. His research focuses on the ecology and evolutionary history of mammals, with recent articles exploring topics such as the dietary insights from Late Pleistocene bison, and the survival of species like the Eurasian lynx in human-altered environments. Additionally, he investigates the implications of rewilding and habitat selection in large herbivores, contributing valuable knowledge to conservation biology.
