Bartos, Maciej | University of Łódź, Department of Teacher Training and Biodiversity Studies | Maciej Bartos (PhD) graduated from the University of Łódź (Poland) with MSc in environmental biology in 1996. His Master’s thesis concerned reproduction and sexual selection of a pholcid spider. During the studies he spent one year at the University of Wolverhampton, where he participated in TEMPUS Exchange Programme. He received ‘Diploma of Higher Education’ there. Between the years 1996-2000 he was a PhD student at the Department of Invertebrate Zoology and Hydrobiology, the University of Łódź. At the end of this period he defended his PhD dissertation on the life cycle and predatory strategy of a jumping spider and was awarded PhD in biological sciences (zoology & behavioural ecology). Since then he has been an assistant professor at the Department of Teacher Training and Biodiversity Studies, the University of Łódź. Maciej Bartos is an author of 20 scientific publications, (nine in JCR list). He has presented over 50 talks and posters during international and local scientific conferences. He was awarded first and second prizes for the best talks and posters during international arachnological and neuroethological congresses in Poland, South Africa, Denmark, UK (Edinburgh and Oxford). As a principal investigator he has successfully applied for three grants from the Polish State Committee for Scientific Research. The grants were devoted to various aspects of salticid biology, particularly behavioural flexibility, innate predatory strategies and prey identification. Selected data that were collected in his last project are presented in this book. Maciej Bartos is a member of the International Society for Arachnology and the European Society of Arachnology. He was elected a member of the General Council of the European Society of Arachnology. Between 2003-2012 he was an editorial assistant of Folia Biologica et Oecologica, a scientific journal edited in English. Since 2012 he has been a secretary of the Zoological Committee of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
