Zoology (ecology) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 18 Zoology (ecology) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

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.

Predicting impacts of freshwater invasions: from the individual to ecosystems

  Research Group: School of Biology
OVERVIEW. Biological invasions are a key driver of global change, causing irreversible ecosystem change, biodiversity loss and enormous economic burden. Read more

Extreme conservation: reproductive strategies of Malagasy shorebirds

Do you want to build your career in wildlife conservation or behavioural ecology? Our project offers the extraordinary opportunity to conduct cutting-edge research in one of the world's most captivating and ecologically diverse locations. Read more

Ecology and behaviour of urban wildlife

The construction and development of urban areas is a relatively recent phenomenon. Urbanisation does, however, impose a range of advantages and disadvantages for biological organisms and which can bring them into conflict with humans. Read more

Self-funded PhD- The genomic basis of major evolutionary transitions

Life on Earth has undergone several major evolutionary transitions that dramatically changed its biology. These include exciting innovations such as the emergence of multicellular organisms (animals, plants, fungi), the evolution of terrestrial organisms, or parasitism. Read more

The evolutionary basis of feeding preferences: A Geometric Framework approach

Despite the essential role food plays in our lives, we have little understanding of how different nutrients work together to impact functioning, or the reasons individuals choose certain combinations of food. Read more
