Effects of forest diversity on aquatic-terrestrial linkages and processes
Tree species, functional and genetic diversity is known to mediate ecosystem processes and functioning of the forest ecosystems. However, natural ecosystems are connected to each other through the flow of species, energy and elements. Read more
Sex and Reproduction During the Evolution of Apes
. Reproduction is the prime imperative for species and even helps define life itself. For humans, reproductive biology, mating behaviours, and parenting overlap in profound and complex ways throughout our lives. 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
School of Biodiversity, One Health & Veterinary Medicine
The School of Biodiversity, One Health & Veterinary Medicine is unique in our ability to link research on animal diseases, production and welfare with ecological and evolutionary approaches. Read more
Identifying genetic mechanisms of neuronal regeneration using planaria
Neuronal injury or disease in humans often leads to disability and mortality. Neurons in humans regenerate poorly, and there are very few methods to encourage this regeneration. Read more
Our Mission: to Educate, Nurture and Discover for the benefit of Human Health
Our ultimate purpose is to work in service of patients. RCSI was founded by Royal Charter on 11th February 1784, to set and support professional standards for surgical training and practice in Ireland. Read more
Behavioural resilience to climatic variability
Now more than ever biologists are faced with the challenge of predicting how species will cope with extreme and rapid fluctuations in climatic conditions. 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
Forensic acarology: the importance of mites in forensic investigations
This project involves the study of mites (Acari) in their role as useful markers in forensic investigations. . Read more
Determining the optimal mix of forestry systems and reserves under differing wildfire regimes for improving biodiversity conservation
How to meet human needs for timber while limiting harm to biodiversity is an urgent scientific goal. Read more
Developing and applying new approaches to understand the dynamics of populations and communities
We invite applications for a PhD in population ecology and demographic modelling. Our research tackles problems at both the pure and applied ends of the spectrum. Read more
Evolutionary ecology of host-parasite interactions
Proposed Start Date. September 2022. The body is home to trillions of microbes. There has been a surge of interest on the effects of these microbes on host health, often as agents of infectious disease. Read more
Understanding Life in the Freezer: locomotor performance as the key to understanding the possible influences of climate change in high Arctic species
Scientific research has focused on the Arctic recently as this region is at high risk from the effects of climate change. However, a major challenge holds back our ability to understand the potential impacts of environmental change; our lack of knowledge about what animals do in the wild. Read more
Investigating amphibian tolerance to the skin fungal disease chytridiomycosis
*** ABOUT THE PROJECT ***. The Frog Research Team in eastern Australia (. https://www.frogresearch.com/). has a PhD opportunity available for a highly motivated applicant to study frog chytrid fungal disease (3 year PhD). 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
