Biodiversity PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in Reading

We have 10 Biodiversity PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in Reading

Anticipating the impacts of extreme weather on biodiversity

Project Overview. To date, efforts to address the impacts of climate change on biodiversity have focused on gradual shifts in species’ abundance and distribution. Read more
 Supervisor: Dr V Boult
 Year round applications  PhD Research Project  Self-Funded PhD Students Only

Understanding extinction risk in the Anthropocene

We live in a humanized world in which even the most remote areas have been affected by the actions of our species. Human impacts have caused a widespread loss of biodiversity, to the point that we have likely entered the sixth mass extinction event on Earth, the first primarily caused by humans. Read more

How did species originate, evolve and go extinct across the vertebrate tree of life?

Project Overview. The tree of life underpins our understanding of all aspects of biodiversity past, present and future. Not only does it describe how species are related to each other, but it also documents the evolutionary history of life on Earth. Read more

Understanding the role of rodent niche in dissemination of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance

Project Overview. Rats and mice are one of the most prolific and widespread wildlife species. They are ubiquitous in urban and rural environments, are in contact with sewage effluents, have a generalist and opportunistic diet and interact frequently with human wastes. Read more

Bioinformatics analyses of microbial communities and their genetic contents to understand the transmission dynamics and selection of antimicrobial resistance

Project Overview. Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is one of the topics that we cannot ignore. Bacterial infections unsuccessfully treated due to AMR claim at least 700 000 lives per year worldwide and are projected to be associated with the deaths of 10 million people per year by 2050. Read more

Plant-insect interactions in a changing world

Project Overview: . Insects associated with plants comprise one of the most diverse groups of species on earth. Their impact on the ecology and evolution of their host plants is widely recognised, as is their contribution to multiple important ecosystem services. Read more

Trace evidence: Locard’s exchange principle using invertebrates

In most criminal or forensic investigations, much of the work focuses on the collection and assessment of biological traces of human origin. Read more

Evolutionary Perspectives on Medicinal Plant Use

Project Overview. This project uses phylogenetic comparative methods to characterise medicinal plant use. You will use published data to identify the ethnobotanical uses of selected species, and the extent to which they are characterised in terms of phytochemistry and pharmacology. Read more
