Oferta compartida por Daniel Fernández en el Biogrupo The Lammi Biological Station at the University of Helsinki is excited to announce an opening for a PhD researcher to join the newly formed group of Dr. Caio Graco-Roza. Research Description: The group focuses on studying planktonic communities and their responses to natural and anthropogenic factors both in the Lammi area but also worldwide. Planktonic communities are fundamental to the food chain, encompassing multiple taxa crucial for water quality management and ecosystem services. Their short lifespan and high demographic rates make them powerful ecological indicators. The current project aims to understand the primary sources of diffuse pollution in the intensively monitored pilot catchment and the impact of diffuse pollution to plankton biodiversity. Collaborating with members of the “Watershed Safety Plan”-Project (WSSP), the successfu...
Oferta compartida por Daniel Fernández en el Biogrupo 1) 2-yr postdoc on Making biodiversity inventories more efficient The Department of Biology, Aarhus University invites applications for a fulltime 2-year postdoc position on: Making biodiversity inventories more efficient. This postdoc project is part of a larger project funded by the Danish National Research Foundation. The overall aim is to understand how tropical plant diversity originated and how it is distributed at present. The focus is especially on Amazonian rainforests, which house a large part of the Earth's biodiversity but are facing severe threats from climate change and human impact. We urgently need knowledge on biogeographical and ecological ranges of species, and these in turn need many observations of species occurrences from the field. However, such data are very laborious to produce, because traditional field inventories are slow, they require species identification skills tha...

Oferta compartida por Nuria The Finnish Museum of Natural History LUOMUS is looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher in ecology and evolutionary biology to join the Plant Adaptation and Conservation (PAC) group. The researcher will be employed for twelve months at the University of Helsinki starting latest on 1 Aug 2023. The position is located at LUOMUS. The position is part of the research project "Will adaptive plasticity and evolvability help plants to survive in a changing climate", funded by the Academy of Finland. In this project, we combine approaches from ecology, ecophysiology and quantitative genetics to quantify variation in trait means and to compare capacity for adaptation in key functional traits of widespread and narrowly distributed species, and we contrast leading-edge, core, and trailing-edge populations. We analyse three interrelated key mechanisms for adaptive potential in plants: (i) standing intraspecific variation in phenotypic trait me...

Oferta compartida por Nuria Cities grow globally at an accelerating pace. Environmental change due to urbanization is expected to increasingly affect the evolution of extant species, potentially in a climate-dependent way. Yet, the evolutionary consequences of urbanization remain poorly understood, which is a significant problem in evolutionary biology. A few specific and conspicuous examples, however, demonstrate that urbanization-induced evolution takes place, industrial melanism in moths being the classical example of urban adaptation. This project will use a macro-scale approach to comprehensively examine urban adaptation and its climate-dependency by using Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) as study system. The project focuses on four aspects of evolution in urban environments: (1) life history adaptations to urban environments, (2) adaptations to light pollution, (3) physiological adaptations to the urban thermal environment, and (4) the origins of urban adaptations. The proje...

We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to join the group of Ilkka Kronholm at the department of Biological and Environmental Sciences at the University of Jyväskylä. Starting 1st of September 2020 or as soon as possible thereafter, for a fixed term of four years. Our group studies the properties of spontaneous epigenetic changes, parental effects, and genetic architecture of complex traits. In addition, we do some experimental evolution projects. Our research questions are focused on understanding how different intrinsic and extrinsic factors affect evolutionary adaptation. We mainly use the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa as a model system for empirical work. The main approaches used in the lab are quantitative genetics, genomics, association mapping, analysis of mutants using the genetic tools available for Neurospora, etc. For ideas about epigenetic changes, see: Kronholm & Collins. 2016. Epigenetic mutations can both help and hinder adaptive evolution.Molecular Ecolo...
