About the Project
One of the great challenges of research on biodiversity is to understand how the present-day patterns that are observed have originated, and the extent to which the history of the Earth’s climate has generated present-day patterns. This project will simulate how the distributions of species and the genes they carry have responded to past climate change, and test the predicted patterns against present-day data on the distributions of species, and on the distributions of genes within those species. The project will interest students with an interest in biodiversity, and existing skills in programming and bioinformatics – or an interest in developing such skills.
