  How does climate influence insect responses to pesticides? – A key question for food security
University of Birmingham School of Biosciences
  Dr S Hayward, Dr N J Hodges, Dr L Orsini
Application Deadline: 6 January 2019
Background. As poikilotherms the body temperature of insects is directly determined by environmental conditions. Thus, microclimate temperature profiles, which are often highly variable, will dictate rates of metabolic activity and development as well as behaviour.

  Natural toxins and their synthetic analogues as tools to study ion channels and as potential drugs and pesticides
University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences
  Dr I R Mellor
Applications accepted all year round
The project will use a combination of electrophysiological techniques such as voltage-clamp and patch-clamp with molecular biology and protein expression to understand how natural toxins and their synthetic analogues act on ion channels in the nervous system.

  Butterfly evo-devo in a conservation context: how embryos respond to pesticides and immune challenges
Oxford Brookes University Faculty of Health and Life Sciences
  Dr C Breuker
Application Deadline: 3 January 2019
Over the course of their life cycle butterflies are exposed to a range of environmental factors, which act as both inducers of phenotypic variation as well as selective agents.

  Exploiting induced resistance for trait enhancement in hydroponically-grown crops
University of Birmingham School of Biosciences
  Dr E Luna-Diez
Application Deadline: 6 January 2019
Due to their increasing unsuitability and the fact that they are increasingly looked down upon socially, the use of pesticides in agricultural fields has been highly legislated.

  Impact of increasing environmental CO2 on plant immunity
University of Birmingham School of Biosciences
  Research Group: BBSRC MIBTP
  Dr E Luna-Diez, Dr G Kettles
Application Deadline: 6 January 2019
Global climate change, including anthropogenic activity, has raised atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) level significantly (~40%) from the pre-industrial era.

  Epigenetics of neonicotinoids in an important insect pollinator
University of Leicester Department of Genetics and Genome Biology
  Dr E Mallon, Dr E Rosato
Application Deadline: 6 January 2019
This project will contribute to assessing an important threat to food crop pollination by quantifying, for the first time, the epigenetic effects of neonicotinoids on bumblebees.
