Feathered Witnesses: Unravelling the Impact of Habitat Loss on Neotropical Avifauna with Stable Isotope Analysis
Introduction. The Tachyphoninae are a group of Neotropical lowland tanagers. Read more
AI for Ecology and Biodiversity: Inferring habitat-species interactions from historical records [Self Funded Students Only]
Research Group:
Data and Knowledge Engineering
This project will apply artificial intelligence methods for natural language processing and machine learning to extract ecological and biodiversity data from textual descriptions of the environments in which biological specimens were collected. Read more
Evaluating the potential consequences of climate heating for Caspian seals and ecosystem services in the Caspian Sea
The School of Biology invites applications from prospective postgraduate researchers who wish to commence study for a PhD in the academic year 2023/24. Read more
Utilisation of novel approaches in the bioprospecting of extreme habitats for novel antimicrobial agents. (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/ALJONES)
Since the discovery of penicillin, bioactive compounds have been sourced from microorganisms, which has led to the development of the majority of our antimicrobial agents. Actinomycetes are the most prolific producers of well-known antibiotics in clinical use, such as Rifampicin and Streptomycin. Read more
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
Behavioural adaptation to environmental change in birds and the implications for conservation
Contact. Dr Lyanne Brouwer. Lyanne.brouwer@jcu.edu.au. College of Science & Engineering. James Cook University, Townsville QLD 4811 Australia. Read more
Assessing the impacts of wildlife and livestock on southern hemisphere Atlantic Island peatlands
Peatlands are the most important terrestrial carbon store globally and they could act as carbon sinks when either in pristine condition or restored. Read more
FULLY FUNDED - Characterizing the relationship between vertebrate diversity, abundance and pathogen dynamics among restored woodlands over a spatiotemporal gradient
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. The restoration of woodlands is an important tool for mitigating the effects of climate change and habitat loss. Read more
Effects of urbanisation on insect biodiversity
Urbanisation is among the greatest threats to existing biodiversity. Recent studies reveal a worldwide decline of arthropods, threatening the sustainment of essential ecosystem services such as pollination and food webs. Read more
Leveraging species’ geography to predict and mitigate biodiversity loss with global change
This studentship will investigate how species’ geography can be used to predict and mitigate the negative effects of ongoing global changes, including climate and land use change. Read more
Smile4life National Oral Health Improvement Programme: Inclusive Evaluation to Assess the Impact of Co-designed Resources for a Community-based Oral Health and homelessness intervention.
Project background. United Nations Habitat estimates that 150 million people are affected by homelessness worldwide. The Covid-19 pandemic further aggravated this scenario of health and social inequalities. Read more
Key threats inshore habitats - Identifying key threats to shallow inshore habitats across time and space
About the research project. This PhD project has an ultimate aim to reduce human impacts on shallow water marine habitats (i.e. sedimentary, seagrass, seaweed and coral rubble) across Australia. 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
Insect movement and migration behaviour and implications for ecosystem function
Insects play many critical roles in global ecosystems. However, there is still relatively little known about their movement and migration behaviour and how this may influence a species’ ability to respond to landscape change. Read more
Electrical ringbarking of wilding trees
New Zealand, in common with many other countries, has a problem with invasive plant species which can colonize areas of the land, displacing endemic and indigenous flora and destroying the habitat of endemic and indigenous fauna. Read more
