Oceanographic drivers of habitat use in tropical atoll lagoons: a hydrodynamic numerical modelling approach
Applications are invited for four-year PhD studentship. The studentship (funding) is available for 3.5 years and will aim to start on 1 October 2022. Read more
How does the provision of different ecosystem services interact? A multi-habitat approach across the rural-urban continuum in the UK
Ecosystem services (ES) are benefits provided by ecosystems to sustain wildlife and our well-being. Regulating, provisioning, supporting and cultural ES have been assessed in terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Read more
Artificial Intelligence methods for the automatic assessment of the health of natural habitats

Characterising the aquatic–terrestrial biodiversity of dynamic freshwater ecosystems
Temporary rivers experience natural transitions between lotic, lentic and terrestrial conditions, with this instream habitat diversity supporting high biodiversity. Read more
Landscape ecology and genetics of Bornean species inhabiting a fragmented landscape
The island of Borneo has some of the oldest rainforests in the world, however, that environment has become threatened by logging and its conversion to agriculture over the last 50-100 years. Read more
The impact of Forestry on Golden Eagles in Scotland
Golden Eagles in Scotland have largely recovered from historically low levels over the past two centuries but their distribution is still constrained by persecution and habitat loss across parts of their former range. Read more
Using molecular approaches to investigate the metabolic regulation of cetacean blubber tissue under different physiological challenges.
Threats to cetacean populations as a result of habitat degradation driven by human activities are of increasing conservation concern. Read more
Coatings of Anammox Bacteria for Nitrogen Removal from Contaminated Water
Nitrogen, in the forms of ammonium and nitrates ions, is a serious problem in the UK and elsewhere in water being discharged into the environment because it can harm aquatic ecology and detrimentally affect human health. Read more

Rice farming and rodent-borne zoonoses
Land-use changes due to intensified agricultural practices are a concern in the Philippines (Dirzo et al, 2014). The replacement of forests by mixed agroecosystems and high-value crops has led to biodiversity loss and increased contact of humans with wild animal populations. Read more
