Understanding the ecological and evolutionary effects of heatwaves in tropical species and ecological communities
Heatwaves are considered one of the most threatening processes for our plants and animal species as the Earth’s climate warms. There is much to understand about how our species and the ecological communities they form will change and adapt through heatwaves. Read more
Evolutionary ‘frenemies’? Understanding the molecular mechanisms underpinning the evolution of endosymbiosis
Symbioses are abundant, taxonomically widespread, ecologically important in a wide-range of habitats, economically important in agricultural systems, and consequently underpin the biodiversity and function of both natural and artificial ecosystems. Read more

Does diapause alter epigenetic ageing trajectory in insects?
Project Highlights. Why individuals and species age so differently is an unanswered question in evolutionary biology. Diapause is an example of senescence plasticity, where the same genetics produces different ageing patterns in an organism. Read more
Evolution of antibiotic resistance
The Engelstaedter Lab at The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia, invites applications for a PhD position in microbial evolutionary biology. Read more
The evolution of mating systems and parental care: phylogenetic analyses
Mating systems and parental care are some of the most variable social traits. The project uses vertebrate diversity to understand the evolution of breeding system variation in fishes, amphibians, reptiles birds and mammals. Read more
Assessing the extinction risk and recovery potential of species with Deep Learning (WUT_U23CMP)
Deep learning, a powerful class of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, is emerging as a promising computational framework for inferring evolutionary signals from highly complicated population datasets [1]. Read more
Improving the transferability of ecological research
Project Overview. Ecologists aspire both to understand nature and to provide society with interventions to restore, conserve and manage nature in the face of climate and ecological breakdown. Read more
Interactions between introduced tree species and native mycorrhizal fungi in the UK
Mycorrhizal symbioses are one of the most extensive and important biotic interactions in terrestrial ecosystems, typically providing plants with improved access to nutrients in exchange for carbohydrates produced via photosynthesis. Read more

Sex and Reproduction During the Evolution of Apes
. Reproduction is the prime imperative for species and even helps define life itself. For humans, reproductive biology, mating behaviours, and parenting overlap in profound and complex ways throughout our lives. Read more
Breaking bad: Evolution by loss-of-function
Paradoxically, the first step adaptation to a new environment often involves losing genes, rather than gaining new ones—a phenomenon observed across the tree of life. Read more
International Ph.D. Programs in the Life Sciences
With around 500 research groups and more than 1600 Ph.D. students, the Life Science Zurich Graduate School is one of the largest graduate schools in Europe. Read more
The evolution of institutions for large-scale cooperation
Understanding how large-scale human societies arose from small-scale ones and continue to function is a central challenge in science. Read more
