Combining cognition with conservation to help save a critically endangered species
Cognition, which encompasses the mental processes behind perception, learning, decision-making and memory, underlies many animal behaviours. Read more
Determining the optimal mix of forestry systems and reserves under differing wildfire regimes for improving plant conservation
How to meet human needs for timber while limiting harm to biodiversity is an urgent scientific goal. The aim of this Australian Research Council funded PhD project are. Read more
Fully-funded studentship - Developing novel spatio-temporal models for large citizen science data sets
Supervisors: This is a joint project between the University of Kent and Butterfly Conservation and the PhD student will be supervised by a team with expertise in Statistics, Statistical Ecology, Citizen Science, and Butterfly Monitoring. Read more
Impacts of disease (chytridiomycosis) and environmental contaminants on wildlife conservation (amphibians)
Wildlife are in peril due to numerous threatening processes. Amphibians (especially frogs) are the most endangered Class of Vertebrates. Read more
Preparing bilbies for feral weather: developing an early warning system for conservation management
Greater bilbies, though once abundant in Australia, are a threatened species. In Queensland a wild population of bilbies persists in the Channel Country in the far west of the state. Read more

The Department of Archaeology at York is a vibrant research community and a centre of excellent research-led teaching. Read more
Understanding extinction risk in the Anthropocene
We live in a humanized world in which even the most remote areas have been affected by the actions of our species. Human impacts have caused a widespread loss of biodiversity, to the point that we have likely entered the sixth mass extinction event on Earth, the first primarily caused by humans. Read more
Environmental drivers and conservation status of Amazonian biodiversity
The Amazon plays a crucial role in international strategies to mitigate global climate and biodiversity crises. Amazonian ecosystems are among the world's most biodiverse and contribute to environmental services at multiple spatial scales. Read more
Understanding drivers of disease in the red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris), a threatened UK native species
Research Group:
Edinburgh Infectious Diseases
Project offered for Ker Memorial PhD Studentship. The red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) is an iconic species of notable conservation concern in the UK, having suffered a marked range contraction over the last century due to habitat loss, and competition and pathogen transmission from the introduced grey squirrel (S.

Conservation and behaviour of a threatened bird
The Southern Black-throated finch Poephila cincta cincta, is currently listed as endangered following a decline over more than 80% of its former range since the 1970’s, largely due to habitat loss and degradation. Read more
QUADRAT DTP: Harnessing next-generation diagnostic technologies for eDNA-based biosurveillance, wildlife forensics and conservation biology.
DNA/eDNA barcoding has revolutionised how we catalogue, characterise and monitor biodiversity in natural environments. Read more
Establishing historical biodiversity baselines to guide UK wetland and freshwater rewilding
Restoring British natural landscapes through species reintroductions and rewilding is an increasingly widespread paradigm for environmental management. Read more
