The Molecular Blueprint for Marine Biomineralization in a Changing Climate: Investigation of the molecular biology of calcification in the crucial marine calcifiers, foraminifera.

University of Stirling School of Biological & Environmental Sciences

Rapid climate change due to anthropogenic CO. 2. emissions is having a substantial impact on the marine system. This is particularly true for organisms which calcify, as ocean acidification (OA) progressively challenges their ability to produce their calcium carbonate shells. Read more

Conserving the Tansy Beetle: How can endangered species persist in dynamic habitat networks?

University of Stirling School of Biological & Environmental Sciences

Conserving endangered species requires an understanding of their population dynamics in space and time. Many rare species function as metapopulations, where networks of populations exchange individuals through dispersal, allowing colonisation of empty patches and potentially rescuing populations from local extinction.
