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

Plant-insect interactions in a changing world

Project Overview: . Insects associated with plants comprise one of the most diverse groups of species on earth. Their impact on the ecology and evolution of their host plants is widely recognised, as is their contribution to multiple important ecosystem services. Read more

Population genomics of insect communities

Declines in insect populations and species are arguably one of the most concerning symptoms of the biodiversity crisis, given their importance in underpinning food webs and ecosystem processes. Read more

MScR: Seeing forest recovery through the dung: post-disturbance trajectories in Amazonian dung beetles

The climate and biodiversity crisis are the two most pressing societal challenges we currently face. While tropical forests house most of the global biodiversity, insects constitute most of all known terrestrial animals and play crucial roles in ecosystem functioning. Read more

Understanding the ecological and evolutionary effects of heatwaves in tropical species and ecological communities

Heatwaves are considered one of the most threatening processes for our plants and animal species as the Earth’s climate warms. There is much to understand about how our species and the ecological communities they form will change and adapt through heatwaves. Read more

Evolution of antimicrobial resistance in bacterial microbiomes

This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the GW4 BioMed2 MRC Doctoral Training Partnership which is offering up to 20 studentships for entry in September 2024. Read more

The Physiology of Macronutrient-Dependent Immunity in Honeybees

This project aims to understand the interaction between macronutrients and immunity. The candidate will develop research to understand how the quality and quantity of protein and lipid nutrients influence an adaptive immune response, using the response in bees as a model system. 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

Environmental drivers and conservation status of Amazonian biodiversity

The Amazon plays a crucial role in international strategies to mitigate global climate and biodiversity crises. Amazonian ecosystems are among the world's most biodiverse and contribute to environmental services at multiple spatial scales. Read more
