Conservation management of the Isle of Wight red squirrel population
The Evolutionary Significant Unit (ESU) concept was developed to provide a rational basis for prioritizing conservation effort. it defines unique population(s) that have evolved independently (Ryder, 1986). Read more

Deciphering the landscape of nucleoporin and lamin function in nucleocytoplasmic communication, nuclear scaffolding and transcriptional control in disease prevention
The nucleus has an instrumental role in cellular responses by coordinating shuttling of components in and out of the nucleus and gene expression with genome architecture and stability. Read more

Landscape genomics and local adaptation in livestock species
Most livestock species originated in a few localities, e.g. the Fertile Crescent or the Indus Valley among others. However, today, many of those species have spread to many environments around the planet. Read more
Breaking bad: Evolution by loss-of-function
Paradoxically, the first step adaptation to a new environment often involves losing genes, rather than gaining new ones—a phenomenon observed across the tree of life. Read more
Adaptation to environmental change in animals: ecology, evolution and genomics.
How are animals able to live in different environments, with different temperatures, energetic demands, diet, predators, parasites or pH? Thanks to advances in gene sequencing technology, we are in a remarkable period of discovery about the genomic basis of adaptation and how this depends on the intricacies of ecology and environment. Read more
Evolution of ecological and species diversity in freshwater fishes
Ecological, morphological and evolutionary diversification among sympatric individuals often reflects divergent selective pressures along environmental gradients. Read more
The causes of speciation rate variation in nature
The project. Rates of species formation vary dramatically across the tree of life and contribute to profound differences in species richness among clades, regions and through time. Read more
Choosing to persist: sexual section and conservation in the wild
Research Group:
Centre for Evolutionary Biology
The prevailing story of sexual selection, in which the sexes either compete for or choose the other sex, has been one of costly and detrimental extravagance. Read more
Landscape ecology and genetics of Bornean species inhabiting a fragmented landscape
The island of Borneo has some of the oldest rainforests in the world, however, that environment has become threatened by logging and its conversion to agriculture over the last 50-100 years. Read more
Self-funded project: Ecological and evolutionary interactions in insect symbiont communities
Application accepted for either MSc by Research or PhD. Most organisms host bacterial symbionts, which can substantially affect the biology of their hosts. Read more
