| Estimating global diversity (project co-supervised by Dr Olivier Missa). | ||||||||||||||||||
Assessing the global diversity of insects, and the geographic distribution of this diversity, is important if insects are to be included within global conservation planning, as well as topics of scientific curiosity. This project will use model groups (including vertebrates, plants and some insects) to estimate the extent to which it is possible to extrapolate from local and national estimates of diversity to calculate global diversity. Having made such calculations, it will then be possible to estimate global diversity for groups for which local diversity samples are available, but for which global estimates are not available. The project will investigate correlates of alpha, beta and gamma diversity. Funding Notes This research project is one of a number of projects in the department. It is in competition for funding with the other projects. Usually the project which receives the best applicant will be awarded the funding. The funding is available to citizens of a number of European countries (including the UK). In most cases this will include all EU nationals. However full funding may not be available to all applicants. |
