Automatic feeder for monitoring and supporting bumblebees to counteract the effects of climate change and global insect decline
Motivation. Bumblebees are agriculturally important pollinators, but are currently declining in abundance in the UK and around the world due to climate change and other man-made stressors, such as the use of herbicides and pesticides. Read more

York YBDTP project: Understanding the role of piRNAs in mosquito immunity
Lead supervisor: Prof Luke Alphey. Co-supervisors: Prof Sean Sweeney and Dr Michelle Anderson, University of York. The student will be registered with the Department of Biology (University of York). Read more
Identifying challenges and opportunities for sustainable parasite control in UK horses
Given the serious and urgent risk to horse health from endoparasites, recent years have seen a plethora of expert-led guidelines, published papers and campaigns to combat anthelmintic resistance by promoting targeted treatment of horses using diagnostic indicators, for example treating those with higher fecal egg counts (FECs).

Understanding the role of piRNAs in mosquito immunity
Vector-borne diseases afflict humans, livestock and plants – according to WHO, vector-borne diseases comprise ~17% of all infectious disease of humans – and also threaten biodiversity by their impact on endangered species. Read more
Nurture versus nature in locusts – can we control their swarming behaviour?
Are you interested in animal behaviour, and its physiological control? Would you like to perform research that could inform new agricultural practices? Then this is the PhD for you!. Read more
Viral infection capacity across crustaceans of economic importance
Crustacean diseases cause economic damage to industry and the environment. Billions are lost on a yearly basis due to disease in crustacean aquaculture and, in wild systems, crustaceans commonly introduce disease-causing microbes as biological invaders. Read more
Sensory and bioengineering approaches to predict hearing abilities in fish
This project aims to understand the factors responsible for the extraordinary diversity in the shape and size of fish ears and why some fishes are more sensitive to sound than others, which is poorly understood. Read more
