Zbigniew M. Bocheński

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zbigniew M. Bocheński is a Polish vertebrate - paleontologist and ornithologist who deals with fossil and recent birds concerned.

Bocheński is the son of paleornithologist Zygmunt Bocheński . He holds a habilitation and is a scientist at the Institute for Systematics and Evolution of Animals of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Cracow .

He deals with osteology (for example of corvids, with Teresa Tomek ), paleontology and taphonomy of birds, including bird fossils from the Oligocene in Poland. He also dealt with the prey preferences of owls and birds of prey .

He first described a hummingbird ( Eurotrochilus noniewiecsi ) from the Eocene with Zygmunt Bocheński , whose fossils were found near Jasła in the Polish Carpathians.

With Teresa Tomek (* 1945), Krzysztof Wertz and Ewa Swidnicka, he described a passerine bird from the early Oligocene of Poland (found near Rzeszów ), Resoviaornis jamrozi, in 2013 . It is named after the finder (Albin Jamroz, an amateur paleontologist) and location.

By Kenneth E. Campbell (born 1943), he also examined bird fossils from the La Brea Tar Pits , for example, an extinct turkey and two little owls Glaucidium kurochkini and Asphaltoglaux cecileae .
