Risk factors and site-specific prediction tools for saprolegnia outbreaks in Scottish aquaculture (RIFE-2)
The incidences of saprolegniosis outbreaks in Scottish farms have significantly increased over the last few years. Indeed, some sites have had very high losses (50% or more) due to saprolegniosis, whereas other farms have stayed largely disease free. Read more
Environmental distribution, aquacultural consequences and development of nature-based water treatment technologies for mass pharmaceutical interventions during global pandemics
Currently over 756 million confirmed cases of SARS-CoV-2 infections have caused over 6.7 million deaths. Preparedness for future global pandemics must consider the wider environmental consequences following such catastrophic events. Read more
Environmental impacts from ectoparasite treatments in cats and dogs
With millions of pets across the UK - have you ever considered the potential environmental impact that may result from the use of flea and tick products?. Read more
Impact of pollutants on the emergence of antimicrobial resistance in aquatic environments
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global threat with little understanding to all the causes of its prevalence. In recent years it is surmised that anthropogenic pollutants have a significant impact on AMR. Read more
Cracking the code of snails to elucidate parasite disease transmission
Call for PhD students in Snail Taxonomy, Genomics, and Host:Parasite Interact ions. Want to help resolve the taxonomy of Australian freshwater snails and assess their ability to transmit parasites to Australian livestock?. Read more
Defining working reference states for UK Chalk Rivers in support of River and floodplain Restoration
The UK supports 85% of the global chalk streams. Chalk rivers and streams are highly diverse and novel freshwater ecosystems deriving most of their flow regime from carbonate rich groundwater. Read more
Genomic approaches to understanding molluscan crop pests
Snails and slugs cause worldwide problems, both in terms of direct damage to crops, and as intermediate vectors for diseases of farm animals. Read more

Adaptation to environmental change in animals: ecology, evolution and genomics.
How are animals able to live in different environments, with different temperatures, energetic demands, diet, predators, parasites or pH? Thanks to advances in gene sequencing technology, we are in a remarkable period of discovery about the genomic basis of adaptation and how this depends on the intricacies of ecology and environment.
