NERC E4 Pollution swapping: Do biodegradable plastics sequester or lose soil carbon?

University of Edinburgh School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Quantitative Biology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology
Summary. How does soil microbial decomposition of biodegradable plastics affect soil carbon dynamics and potential for carbon sequestration? Answering this will help us understand the long-term impact of these plastics on net zero targets. Read more

NERC E4 Inferring the role of sexual and natural selection in speciation by studying genomics of colouration in strawberry poison frogs

University of Edinburgh School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Ecology & Evolution
Summary. How does natural and sexual selection interact to produce biological diversity? Can different predator avoidance strategies drive speciation if they are coupled with assortative mating? We will use the charismatic strawberry poison frogs to study the genomics of these processes. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr K Guschanski, Dr S Martin

The role of ion concentrations in cellular circadian rhythmicity

University of Edinburgh School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences
In the living cell, virtually nothing stays the same over the day/night cycle. Endogenous ~24h rhythms are driven by a biological timekeeping system, the circadian clock, that dynamically regulates nearly all biological processes to match Earth's environmental cycle. Read more
 Supervisor: Dr G van Ooijen
 17 January 2024  PhD Research Project  Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Assessing and explaining plant invasion distribution across French Polynesian islands

University of Edinburgh School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Ecology & Evolution
Invasive alien species that have been transported beyond their native range by humans are amongst the main global threats to biodiversity and cost billions of dollars each year. Read more

Discover the mechanism of how trypanosomes epigenetically assemble unconventional kinetochores at centromeres

University of Edinburgh School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Cell Biology
We are interested in revealing the mechanism of chromosome segregation in eukaryotes. Our focus is on the kinetochore, a highly complicated and dynamic macromolecular protein machine that assembles onto centromeric DNA and interacts with spindle microtubules. Read more

The Environmental Drivers of DNA methylation and Senescence: An Experimental Test in Wild Mice

University of Edinburgh School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Ecology & Evolution
Summary. Why do we senesce? Lifestyle appears to accelerate the ageing process in humans, but we know much less about the stressors that cause age-related declines in wild animals. Read more
 Supervisors: Prof T Little, Dr A Pedersen

The Genetic, Epigenetic and Environmental Drivers of Senescence: An Experimental Test in Wild Mice

University of Edinburgh School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Ecology & Evolution
Age predicts many things about health, including infections we might have, our risk of dying from infections, or which chronic diseases we are at risk from. Read more

NERC E4 Extinction and survival at the dawn of plant life on land

University of Edinburgh School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences
Summary. Establishing why certain groups go extinct while others prevail remains a key question in evolutionary biology. Here you will establish why the lycopsids survived while the zosterophylls went extinct. Read more
