Evolutionary responses of insects to the Anthropocene
This project is part of the. DPhil in Biology at the University of Oxford. Humans have altered global environments in many ways, such as converting natural habitats into farmland and exposing organisms to synthetic chemicals that have been unencountered previously since life began. Read more
How do symbiotic microbes shape the ecology and evolution of their hosts?
This project is part of the. DPhil in Biology at the University of Oxford. Many insects have important and persistent relationships (symbiosis) with bacteria. 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
Oak genetic diversity and co-adaptation with members of the food web
This project is part of the. DPhil in Biology at the University of Oxford. Forest trees support food webs by providing both food and habitat to other organisms such as insects and birds, among others. Read more
Applying a novel mass spectrometry approach to improve detection of insect biosecurity threats
This exciting PhD project provides an opportunity for a suitably motivated candidate to explore fundamental aspects of Rapid Evaporative Ionisation Mass Spectrometry (REIMS) as applied to the detection of plant health biosecurity threats, particularly insects. Read more
Communal spiders’ trophic interactions and pest control potential
Applications are invited for a fully-funded three year PhD to commence in October 2023. The PhD will be based in the Faculty of Science and Health, and will be supervised by. Read more
Emerging Fraud Challenges against Alternative Proteins
The many challenges relating to environmental sustainability and climate change are major global concerns. Read more
Artificial Intelligence in Farms: AI-based Crop Disease Monitoring and Detection
Research Group:
Computing
Plant diseases may affect the root, steam and leaves of plants resulting in a sizable drop of revenue for farmers as crop’s quality is affected and may lead to food shortage and food chain disruption [1]. Read more
