  Flight mechanics of insects - understanding how insects control their wingbeat and sense aerodynamic forces through the subtle use of these muscles.
University of Leeds Faculty of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: BBSRC White Rose DTP
  Dr S.M. Walker, Dr G N Askew
Application Deadline: 7 January 2019
Insects are the most agile and manoeuvrable of all flying animals. However, studying their flight presents a complex challenge. In the time that it takes a human to blink, a blowfly can beat its wings 50 times, powering and controlling each wingbeat using numerous tiny muscles - some as thin as a human hair.

  Tracking the use of energy in insect flight
University of Leeds Faculty of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: BBSRC White Rose DTP
  Dr G N Askew, Dr S.M. Walker
Application Deadline: 7 January 2019
Insects are amongst the most diverse, successful and economically important orders on earth and flight is key to their success. Flight is one of the most energetically expensive modes of locomotion and there are few aspects of an insect’s ecology, behaviour and physiology that are not affected by its energetic demands.

  Flocking dynamics in birds : the role of personality and experience
Royal Holloway, University of London School of Biological Sciences
  Dr S Portugal
Applications accepted all year round
Many birds travel in flocks comprising many individuals. During flights, decisions have to be made about who leads and follows, and who is positioned where in the flock.
