Dr. Krzysztof Podwysocki | Biological Invasions | Young Scientist Award 

State Scientific Research Institute Nature Research Centre | Lithuania

Dr. Krzysztof Podwysocki is a biologist specializing in invasion ecology, trophic ecology, and crustacean biology, with a strong research focus on understanding the mechanisms that drive the success of invasive aquatic species. He earned his Ph.D. in Biology from the University of Lodz, Poland, in 2025, where his doctoral work investigated the invasion potential of genetically distinct populations of Dikerogammarus villosus, one of Europe’s most impactful invasive amphipods. Currently based at the Nature Research Centre in Vilnius, Lithuania, he leads the project “Exoskeleton strength as a predictor of interspecific aggression and predation survivability in invasive and native amphipods,” exploring the biomechanical and ecological traits that determine competitive dominance and survival in aquatic ecosystems. His research integrates experimental ecology, functional morphology, and biogeography to examine species interactions, dispersal capacities, and environmental adaptability. Dr. Podwysocki has completed a national project on the morphological and chemical variation of D. villosus mouthparts in relation to diet and invasion history, providing key insights into how feeding morphology underpins ecological success. His collaborative experience includes international research initiatives, such as an FAO-funded project in Ghana assessing decapod diversity, and partnerships with the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun on behavioral and physiological studies of invasive amphipods. His work bridges fundamental and applied invasion biology, contributing to predictive models that inform biodiversity conservation and invasive species management. To date, he has published six research papers in SCI and Scopus-indexed journals, accumulating 12 citations with an h-index of 2, reflecting the growing impact of his contributions to aquatic invasion ecology. His innovative approach linking biomechanics, population genetics, and ecological performance offers new perspectives on how structural and physiological traits influence invasion dynamics, interspecific competition, and adaptation in changing environments.
