  The Complexity and Structure of Food Web Networks
University of Sheffield Department of Animal and Plant Sciences
  Dr A Beckerman, Dr M Pocock
Application Deadline: 9 January 2019
The complexity and structure of food web networks underpin our understanding of biodiversity and the stability, persistence and functioning of ecological communities.

  The role of lipid-store body condition in the behaviour and reproduction of cetaceans
University of St Andrews School of Biology
  Prof P Miller
Application Deadline: 7 January 2019
Body condition, here defined as the quantity of energy stores carried in the fat (lipid) stores of an individual, reflects an integration of metabolic costs and foraging success - but also reflects the reproductive needs of the individual in their life cycle (Miller et al., 2011).

  Can seabirds adapt behaviour to buffer the impacts of offshore renewable energy installations and climate change?
Centre for Ecology and Hydrology CEH (Edinburgh Site)
  Dr K Searle, Dr J A Green, Dr F Daunt, Mr J.K. Larsen
Application Deadline: 9 January 2019
A critical challenge facing the development of offshore renewable energy installations (OREIs) is their effects on populations of protected species such as seabirds.

  Quantifying the relative importance of extrinsic and intrinsic drivers of individual behaviour and habitat use of hefted sheep on a biodiverse but fragile upland ecosystem.
Durham University Department of Biosciences
  Dr S D Twiss, Dr R Baxter, Dr M Morecroft, Mr M Furness
Application Deadline: 18 January 2019
The unenclosed upland areas of the UK are internationally important for wildlife and of high nature conservation value. However, these fragile habitats are subject to various threats including the impacts of climate change, atmospheric pollution deposition, acid rain and grazing pressures.

  Microplastics as conduits of flame retardants in birds feeding on landfills
University of Birmingham NERC Doctoral Training Centre Studentships with CENTA
  Dr M Abdallah, Dr S. J Reynolds
Application Deadline: 21 January 2019
There is increasing evidence of widespread ingestion of plastics by birds, mistaking it for food, during foraging. The demonstrated effects of plastic ingestion by birds include.

  Wild minds: how do apes learn about and use their physical environments?
University of Birmingham NERC Doctoral Training Centre Studentships with CENTA
  Dr J M Chappell, Dr S K Thorpe
Application Deadline: 21 January 2019
The tropical forest environments in which the great ape species (including humans) evolved are dynamic, complex and challenging. Trees in tropical forests tend to fruit episodically.
