Offshore wind farms effects on ocean fronts and seabirds
Research Group:
Institute of Life and Earth Sciences
The UK is a global leader in marine renewables, and offshore wind farms (OWFs) are predicted to expand rapidly in future. However, potential deleterious biodiversity impacts mean we must do more to quantify and mitigate such effects and guide policy decisions. Read more

Parasite strategies for success: Hematodinium sp. infection in the Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus)
Hematodinium sp. is a dinoflagellate parasite that, from a host range perspective, is a generalist, infecting a variety of wild and commercially very valuable crustacean species (Davies et al., 2019; Wang et al., 2017). Read more
PhD Studentship in Ecology - Investigating the assembly of plant and animal communities following wildfire: an ecological network approach
Overview. Wildfire naturally drives biodiversity patterns globally through heterogeneous disturbance regimes (Kelly & Brotons 2017), but there is growing evidence that climate change (and a range of other factors) is increasing wildfire frequency and severity in many parts of the world (Flannigan et al.

Ecosystem functioning: a Southern and Northern Hemisphere freshwater comparison
Project Background. Freshwater ecosystems provide key ecosystem services but are among the most threatened globally due to pollution, eutrophication, overexploitation, land-use change and invasive species (Dudgeon et al. Read more
Bees and Buzz Pollination In Crops: Evaluating The Potential For Matching Bee Vibrations and Buzz-Pollinated Crops To Improve Fruit Yield
Pollination is a major limitation of soft fruit production. Improving pollination therefore increases yield and quality of many soft fruits and vegetables. Read more
