Grzegorz Buczkowski studies the biology and control of invasive and urban pest ants, such as odorous house ants and Argentine ants, including how they adapt to city environments and how insecticides can be used more effectively against them. His work combines field pest-management trials (e.g., insecticide baits, gels, and horizontal insecticide transfer between nestmates) with molecular approaches like transcriptomics and RNA interference to understand ant genetics and behavior. This research is aimed at improving practical strategies for managing pest and invasive ant species while minimizing harm to non-target organisms.
Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade without a clear upward or downward trend, with recent years (2023-2024) showing a moderate increase before tapering off in 2025-2026.
