Unravelling the global microbiome of crop plants to improve sustainability and food security
Plants live in close association with complex communities of microbes which together constitute their ‘microbiome’. The microbiome interacts with the plant in numerous ways; some microbes are beneficial and promote plant growth, while others are pathogens which reduce crop yields. Read more
Knowledge and behavioural attitudes towards wastes generation and recycling in urban and rural settings
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
Waste generation and rising demand for primary resources are still uncontrolled and increasing problems imposing enormous pressures on the environment and natural resources. Read more
Gut Reactions and Ground Rules: The Microbial and Environmental Drivers of Zoonotic Hookworm Hatching
Zoonotic hookworm infections, caused by parasites such as Ancylostoma brasiliense, Ancylostoma caninum, and Uncinaria stenocephala, pose a significant health threat to humans, primarily transmitted from companion animals like cats and dogs. Read more

CR2025_48: The mystery of widespread endemics: why do some species spread while others don’t?
The Mediterranean is one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots and has a high degree of endemism. This hyperdiversity has led to much conservation attention being lavished on rare, narrowly distributed species. Read more
