The relationship between marine extinction and climate change in space and time
This project will use the fossil record to understand climatic impacts on biodiversity and how extinction might alter regional ecosystems. Read more
Avoiding extinction: natural and sexual selection in the wild
Research Group:
Centre for Evolutionary Biology
Wild populations are becoming smaller and more isolated; whilst simultaneously having to adapt to a rapidly changing environment and climate. 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
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
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

A resilience index for Earth-type biospheres
Develop a habitability index for Earth’s biosphere. Interrogate models of deep time biotic change. Use your analysis to understand current impacts on the biosphere. Read more
Consequences of a rapidly changing arctic for wildlife species
Research Group:
Applied Ecology Research Group (AERG)
Research Group. Applied Ecology Research Group. (AERG). Proposed supervisory team. Dr Helen Wheeler. Theme. Climate change, species distribution. 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
Younger Dryas Apocalypse and Archaeological Conspiracism
This project will work across disciplines (palaeoecology, archaeology and human geography) in order to critically analyse current hypotheses within and outside academia about the origin and impact of climate events such as the Younger Dryas climate event (YD) and their impact on the wider public. Read more
Addition of ammonia fuel as an approach to reduce soot and greenhouse gas emissions in combustion systems
This project aims to elucidate the effects of ammonia on the formation of soot and greenhouse gasses such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides in different combustion systems fuelled with hydrocarbon fuels using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). . Read more
Developing and applying new approaches to understand the dynamics of populations and communities in a changing world
We invite applications for a PhD in population ecology and demographic modelling. Our group tackles problems at both the pure and applied ends of the spectrum. Read more
The Criminal Law and Protest
In academic literature, protest, civil disobedience, and non-violent direct action are all regarded as important means of engaging in political struggle. Read more
Accelerating molecular phylogenetic inference using high performance computing.
Molecular phylogenetic inference, constructing evolutionary histories from molecular data, is an activity universal to all biological disciplines. Read more
PhD in Food Web Networks and Environmental Change: Exploring how natural and anthropogenic stress influence the structure and dynamics of communities.
The interactions among species define a food web network. In these networks, species have dynamics (e.g. numbers and biomass), the community has structure (e.g. Read more
