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.

Predicting impacts of freshwater invasions: from the individual to ecosystems

  Research Group: School of Biology
OVERVIEW. Biological invasions are a key driver of global change, causing irreversible ecosystem change, biodiversity loss and enormous economic burden. Read more

Extreme conservation: reproductive strategies of Malagasy shorebirds

Do you want to build your career in wildlife conservation or behavioural ecology? Our project offers the extraordinary opportunity to conduct cutting-edge research in one of the world's most captivating and ecologically diverse locations. Read more

The Ecology of Amphibian Microbiomes in South Africa

Leverhulme funded PhD position in. Institute of Zoology, London. Supervised by Prof Trent Garner, IoZ, UK. Co- Supervised by Prof Matthew Fisher, Department of Life Sciences. Read more

The role of regulatory evolution in phage ecology

The regulation of genes crucially determines the fitness and function of all organisms. This is particularly relevant for bacteriophages, the viruses that infect bacteria, as they rely on a tightly scheduled program for a successful infection. Read more

Exploring synergies between statistical ecology and statistical genomics

  Research Group: Division of Statistics
While superficially different, these two areas of research share several questions in common (How many species? How many of each species? How are the species distributed spatially? How should we sample?) that differ fundamentally only in whether the species in question are flora and fauna or nucleic acids and proteins. Read more

Modelling the ecology and evolution of microbial communities

From the human gut to deep-sea sediments, microbial communities – or microbiomes – colonize virtually every habitat on earth. These microbiomes are central to ecosystem functioning and to host health, and therefore it is essential that we understand how and why they change over time. Read more

Ecology and behaviour of urban wildlife

The construction and development of urban areas is a relatively recent phenomenon. Urbanisation does, however, impose a range of advantages and disadvantages for biological organisms and which can bring them into conflict with humans. Read more
