Plant-insect interactions in a changing world

University of Reading Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

Project Overview: . Insects associated with plants comprise one of the most diverse groups of species on earth. Their impact on the ecology and evolution of their host plants is widely recognised, as is their contribution to multiple important ecosystem services. Read more

Evolutionary Perspectives on Medicinal Plant Use

University of Reading Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

Project Overview. This project uses phylogenetic comparative methods to characterise medicinal plant use. You will use published data to identify the ethnobotanical uses of selected species, and the extent to which they are characterised in terms of phytochemistry and pharmacology. Read more

Cell biology and evolution of cancer metastasis

University of Reading Department of Biomedical Sciences

We are interested in the spread of cancer, a process called metastasis. Metastasis is responsible for the majority of cancer deaths and there are currently no effective treatments to stop this process. Read more

Multilevel selection on transposition rates in cancer

University of Reading Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

Cancer is an evolutionary process. Cells in a tumour vary due to mutation, and so over many generations they adapt in response to both intrinsic selective pressures (such as anoxia) and extrinsic selective pressures (such as chemotherapy). Read more

Ecology and behaviour of urban wildlife

University of Reading Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

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
