Science Research Opportunities at the University of East Anglia

UEA is a top tier, research-led university committed to making a substantial impact on global challenges facing society for over 50 years. Read more

Sex and synchrony: the role of males and females in driving population synchrony in wild birds (BUTLER_UBIO25ARIES)

Abundance synchrony is a common feature of wild populations, with dispersal between sites identified as a key driving process. In birds, synchrony between populations is expected to be more strongly influenced by female dispersal rates as males tend to show higher natal philopatry. Read more

Novel autonomous techniques to understand a volatile problem: Biological controls on seawater sulfur (BELL_UPML25ARIES)

Primary supervisor - Professor Thomas Bell. The oceans release huge quantities of the gas dimethylsulfide (DMS) and this contributes to the formation and growth of atmospheric particles and clouds, reflecting solar radiation. Read more

How will Air-Sea Greenhouse Gas Fluxes Respond to Global Change (SUNTHARALINGAM_UENV25ARIES)

BACKGROUND. The ocean plays a key role in controlling atmospheric greenhouse-gas levels. It removes a significant fraction of anthropogenic carbon-dioxide from the atmosphere, and also emits nitrous-oxide and methane, important greenhouse-gases formed by marine ecosystems. Read more

Should I stay or should I go: the individual determinants of variability in migratory behaviour (FRANCO_UENV25ARIES)

Background. Migratory birds are experiencing dramatic population declines and are a priority for conservation. Migration, the regular movement of animals from breeding to non-breeding areas, is common at high latitudes enabling species to cope with fluctuations in resource availability1. Read more

The role of zinc in the adaptation of diatoms to conditions of polar oceans (MOCK_UENV25ARIES)

Primary supervisor - Professor Thomas Mock. Scientific background. Diatoms are the main primary producers in polar oceans, where photosynthesis is largely limited by seasonal fluctuation in light, temperature and the extent of sea ice. Read more

Transgenerational Epigenetic Inheritance of Responses to Environmental Stress (TAYLORR_UBIO25ARIES)

Background. Natural environments are changing rapidly due to anthropogenic climate change. How populations respond to these changes determines whether they adapt to more stressful environments via plasticity and/or evolution, or whether they become extinct. Read more

Bacterial sRNAs: Critical yet overlooked regulators of nitrous oxide emissions (ROWLEY_UBIO25ARIES)

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a major greenhouse gas, with 300-fold greater warming potential than carbon dioxide. A major source of N2O comes from soil microbes utilising nitrogen-based fertilisers rather than oxygen to breathe in a process called denitrification. Read more

The cycling of climate-active sulfur compounds by major crops (TODD_UBIO25ARIES)

Scientific background. Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is known as a marine anti-stress compound made by algae and bacteria. It has key roles in global nutrient and sulfur cycling, signalling, and microbial DMSP catabolism releases climate-active gases (CAG), notably dimethylsulfide (DMS). Read more

Genomics of mimicry in Neotropical catfishes (TAYLORM_UBIO25ARIES)

Scientific background the wider context; why the project is important and timely. Mimetic relationships - where two or more species share colour patterns to reduce attacks by predators are some of the most powerful demonstrations of natural selection. Read more
