Gyula SZABÓ
assistant research fellow
I participate in the projects of Lendület Ecosystem Services Research Group, primarily in the design of research details, field sampling, data analysis, and manuscript preparation. My interests are pollinator communities in agricultural landscapes and natural areas.
Other research interests:
The relationship of oxidative stress and fitness in hole-nesting birds;
Ecophysiological effects on the sexual selection of wild birds through coloration;
Difficulties of quantifying condition;
The effect of beavers on bird fauna.
