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
Marine habitat restoration for future resilience: biogenic reef restoration in sea loughs under a changing climate.
Understanding the optimal approach for seascape-level restoration, where targeted habitats, e.g. biogenic reefs, are restored to support biodiversity and associated ecosystem functioning and stability, is vital for the resilience of the marine ecosystems in general. Read more
Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for Mapping Hydromorphology and Hydraulic Habitat
Hydromorphology is synonymous with physical habitat in rivers and describes the combination of the morphological and hydrological / hydraulic components of river channels. Read more
The role of the microbiome on coral heat tolerance
Global warming presents an unprecedented challenge to one of the world’s most iconic ecosystems, coral reefs. Scleractinian (stony) corals, the primary architects of warm water reefs, are in steep decline due to rising ocean temperatures. 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

Using a natural approach to elucidate the neural mechanisms of alarm calling behaviour in birds
Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence
Research Group: Neural Mechanisms of Natural Behavior
PhD position in Behavioral Neurobiology. Are you fascinated by birds and passionate about neuroscience ? Interested in field ecology, behavior and international travel?. Read more
Self-funded PhD- Population biology of coconut crabs
Population biology of coconut crabs. Anthropogenic change has led to highly fragmented habitats but widely dispersed disjointed populations living there are a challenge to monitor because sub-population sizes may be very small, difficult to access, and time consuming to sample regularly. Read more
Climate Change Implications for River Restoration in Global Biodiversity Hotspots
Information on this PhD research area can be found further down this page under the details about the Widening Participation Scholarship given immediately below. Read more
Doctoral Researcher (m/f/div) in Natural Product Discovery
The Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology (Leibniz-HKI) investigates the pathobiology of human-pathogenic fungi and develops novel natural product-based anti-infectives. Read more
MRes - Minimising inter-observer variability in cover estimates of sessile organisms (SAS0204)
The abundance of clonal organisms (plants, lichens, corals and sessile benthic organisms) is difficult or impossible to measure by counts of individuals so estimates of area covered are used. Read more
Application of digital holography for marine science
These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. 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
Building social-ecological resilience to human-wildlife conflict in western Ethiopia
Crop-raiding by wild animals poses a significant livelihood challenge to rural communities worldwide, especially in sub-Saharan Africa where population pressure, environmental and socio-economic change is driving the encroachment of farming into new areas that puts people in conflict with wildlife. Read more
Self-funded MSc R- Causes and consequences of balanced nutrition in bees
Introduction. Bees play crucial roles as pollinators of wild and agricultural plants, contributing significantly to various ecosystems and global food security. Read more
