Integrating bat pollination services into market value chains: the mezcal industry
Bats are key pollinators in both natural and agricultural ecosystems providing important pollination services. However, bats are often considered pests and research quantifying their importance as pollinators is scarce. Read more
Aerodynamic and aeroelastic design and analysis of a bat-inspired morphing wing for micro air vehicles (MAVs)
The actively deforming bat wing has shown superior flight performance because of the high aerodynamic efficiency at low Reynolds number. Read more
Climate change impacts on bat-plant pollination systems
Project overview . Bats are the most important pollinators within mammals, yet climatic changes can disrupt the spatio-temporal dynamics of nectar bat-plant interactions. Read more
Investigating the effects of environmental change on tropical montane bats
Project overview. PhD opportunity to investigate the impact of environmental change on tropical montane bats in Malaysia. The project combines ecological research methods and pollen analysis to study bat community composition, pollination network, and environmental influences. Read more

Sounding Out Our Environment: Operationalising machine learning analysis of environmental soundscapes
You only need to sit in a woodland on a sunny day to appreciate that sound contains a wealth of environmental data - the challenge is how to extract this information and make it operationally useful. Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme: Uncovering natural and anthropic factors that affect the eco-epidemiology of Leishmania pathogens transmission in the Amazon
The ACCE+ DLA is committed to recruiting extraordinary future scientists regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith or religious belief, pregnancy or maternity, parental or caring responsibilities or career pathway to date. Read more
CR2025_38: Shining a light on short-term response of insects and their predators to climate extremes: harnessing the potential of automated AI camera and audio systems
*Please note that this PhD will be hosted at the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology*. Declines in wildlife are increasingly being reported across the globe, giving stark warnings for the perilous state of biodiversity. Read more
CSC studentship: The Roles of microRNA in the Evolution of Bats and Mammals
Natural selection has been a pivotal force driving the rich diversity of mammals. They display a remarkable spectrum of phenotypical, physiological and behavioural adaptations that span from terrestrial creatures to aquatic species like whales, to the only flying mammals - bats. Read more
