We have 20 ecophysiology PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for UK Students

An electrical perspective on diatom ecophysiology

Bioelectricity underpins highly sophisticated signalling across all domains of life. Recently, electrical excitability (rapid changes in membrane potential) has been discovered in single-celled, red-lineage phytoplankton. Read more

NERC E4 Ecophysiology and biochemistry of starch metabolism in fungal members of the rumen microbiome

  Research Group: Institute of Quantitative Biology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology
Sustainable ruminant farming is required to ensure global food security while mitigating environmental impacts. Ruminant performance, including greenhouse-gas emission, is critically impacted by activity of the microbiome. Read more

The role of electrical excitability in coccolithophore calcification

Bioelectricity underpins highly sophisticated signalling across all domains of life. Recently, electrical excitability (rapid changes in membrane potential) has been discovered in single-celled, red-lineage phytoplankton. Read more

Calming effect of group living in social fishes

Project Overview. Over half of all species live in social groups (i.e., schools) at some point in their lives, in part due to the energetic benefits that they gain, known as the “calming effect”. Read more

Do trees have memories? Understanding legacy effects of water stress on tree seedlings using manipulative experiments

Determining how tree seedlings respond to drought and heat stress is critical to predicting forest structure and function into the future, as non-random survival during these early life stages affects the species composition of forests for decades to come [1]. Read more

OP2446 Effects of climate change and contaminants on oxygen availability for marine biota

Productive marine coastal ecosystems such as coral reefs, seagrass meadows, kelp forests and mangroves are characterised by circadian fluctuation of oxygen controlled by the photosynthesis and respiration of the primary producers. Read more

Plant adaptation to low oxygen conditions

In plants, cells are exposed to varying oxygen (O. 2. ) concentrations due to changes in environmental availability, metabolic activity, and organ anatomy (Weits et al., 20201; Loreti and Perata, 20202). Read more

Ecohydrology and Ecosystem Function on the Fletcherview Savanna Rangeland and Cattle Station

Almost all terrestrial life lives within the Earth’s thin ‘skin’, a 100-200m high zone, stretching from bedrock, through aquifers, soil and the biosphere to the top of plant canopies in the atmosphere. Read more
