River deltas occupy about 0.6% of the Earth’s surface area, but contain 4% of the world’s population (about 300,000,000 people). They are also frequently highly… Read More »Delta dynamics: lessons from the Chao Phraya
Invasive lionfish threaten native Caribbean marine biodiversity. Lionfish predate unchecked on native fish which, unlike in the lionfish’s native Indo-Pacific, have no evolved defence. Current… Read More »Aliens in the twilight zone: using robots to study and manage invasive lionfish on Caribbean mesophotic coral ecosystems
We are looking for a student with strong interests in freshwater sciences and complex development problems to work with a large transdisciplinary international team. Bangladesh… Read More »Drinking water ponds in southern Bangladesh: blending traditional and scientific management approaches
Accelerated climate change and environmental degradation make it necessary to improve our understanding of, and ability to predict, species’ responses to environmental change. The availability… Read More »Abundance within species’ ranges: understanding species’ responses to environmental change
We are looking for a versatile student with a keen interest in tropical freshwater ecology and conservation, and willing to undertake exciting molecular analyses to… Read More »Drivers of tropical freshwater biodiversity: a DNA metabarcoding approach
Complex species interactions make the impacts of global environmental change difficult to foresee. Understanding the ecological and evolutionary relationships between species, and the way that… Read More »The evolution of mimicry in a changing world: how shifting bumblebee communities affect selection on a colour-polymorphic hoverfly
You have probably heard of the Anthropocene? But, what is it and when did it actually begin? Scientists are certainly still arguing over the second… Read More »Tracing the Anthropocene, its history and hazards
Poor outdoor air quality, particularly that associated with high concentrations of very fine particles (PM2.5) has been identified globally as a major cause of early… Read More »Clean air for all? Air pollution, deprivation and health
The potential role of changes in total solar irradiance (TSI) (sun spots) in driving climatic variability has been widely cited and hotly debated. This is… Read More »Maya collapse: solar irradiance and drought
Human populations are expected to increase by 50% to 9 billion by 2050 as climate change continues. The global challenge is to manage terrestrial ecosystems… Read More »Soil microbes to mitigate climate change
