Genomics of adaptation to environmental change in British Lepidoptera
Lepidoptera are sensitive to changes in their environment, be it habitat loss, climate change or pesticides, resulting in major changes to their abundances and distributions over t...
Dynamic Earth, Surface Processes and Natural Hazards
The project title will be updated after the proposal is submitted in term 3.
Development of an innovative lure and kill strategy for the control of mosquito adults and juveniles
The entomopathogenic fungus (EPF) Metarhizium brunneum and the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis var israelensis have been shown to be highly efficacious in the control of mosquito...
Developing approaches for kelp forest restoration to futureproof UK marine biodiversity
Kelp forests are distributed across one-third of the world's coastlines, where they support high levels of biodiversity and primary productivity and underpin vital coastal eco...
Carbon cycling in freshwater lakes; identifying the who, what, where and when.
Algal blooms in freshwaters are happening with increasing frequency due to climate change and input of nutrients. Lake ecosystems may be severely impacted by blooms, particularly t...
Investigating the influence of sea ice on Antarctic outlet glacier dynamics
The Antarctic Ice Sheet's contribution to global mean sea level rise has accelerated over recent decades. This is dominated by the dynamic imbalance of several major outlet gl...
Evolutionary adaptation to climate change in native grasslands: genetic basis and ecological consequences
Adaptive evolution is essential for populations to keep pace with climate change and persist in their environment. However, we know little about the genomic basis of these rapid re...
Centre for Doctoral Training in Real-Time Digital Water-Based Systems for Environmental Health Protection (RED-ALERT CDT)
Doctoral Training Partnerships: a range of postgraduate training is funded by the Research Councils.For information on current funding routes, see the common terminology at https:/...
STREAM: Study of Two Rivers' eDNA and Anthropogenic Pollutant Monitoring
Overflow discharges by water companies as well as run off from agricultural sites flowing into rivers in the UK have been identified as a critical problem increasing pollution and...

Exploring the ecology, functionality and biogeography of Amazonian soundscapes
The world's rainforests are incredible reservoirs of biodiversity, holding over 60% of the world's animal species and 67% of all tree species. While this remarkable diver...
Translating magma intrusion into volcano surface deformation
Modelling volcano ground deformation driven by magma movement is critical to eruption forecasting, but is limited by assumptions that the host rocks are simple and homogeneous. In...
The longest delay: the slow recovery from the Hangenberg mass extinction
This project will examine the Hangenberg mass extinction and the subsequent failure to recover during the Early Carboniferous (Tournaisian) by combining a study of select fossil gr...

Ancient Zoo: Parasite diversity and zoonotic events in ancient Britain (OneZoo CDT)
Emerging infectious diseases (diseases that have newly appeared in a population; EIDs) are one of the greatest threats to human health and global stability. However, for almost all...
Applying Bioacoustics and Artificial Intelligence to study the spatial ecology of endangered species in Borneo
Project BackgroundTropical rainforests are some of the most biodiverse habitats on earth, but they are widely impacted by human activities. Therefore, they are home to many endange...
A change in the water?: Using multidisciplinary approaches to leverage understanding of freshwater invertebrate responses to multiple environmental st

Reconstructing the spatial ecology of cave bears: integrating geochemical, biomolecular and microwear analysis to explore the relationship between ran
Title: Reconstructing the spatial ecology of cave bears: integrating geochemical, biomolecular and microwear analysis to explore the relationship between range size, sex and dietar...
Detecting Schistosoma in Bornean Water Buffalo and implications of environmental variables for zoonotic transmission in the context of climate change
This project will investigate Schistosomiasis in Bornean buffaloes using novel cell free DNA approaches and will determine the presence of Schistosoma in water bodies associated to...
Conserving the Tansy Beetle: How can endangered species persist in dynamic habitat networks?
Conserving endangered species requires an understanding of their population dynamics in space and time. Many rare species function as metapopulations, where networks of populations...
