Oferta compartida por Nuria Western Melanesia (including New Guinea) sits at the crossroads of Asia and Australia and is one of the most interesting, puzzling, and understudied hyper diverse regions on Earth. Clarifying how tectonic movements have sundered or joined different Melanesian landforms in the past several million years is key to understanding the origins of this biotic diversity. The Research Assistant will generate data to help us investigate how the diversity and evolutionary history of the five major geological landforms that comprise most of western Melanesia have impacted evolution of that region's biota and to identify those ancient insular landmasses critical in the origin of lineages that colonised and radiated across New Guinea, Australia, and/or insular Asia. The project will use herpetofauna (reptiles and amphibians) to address these evolutionary questions. The research will help to replace the outdated, unidirectional "out-of-New-Guinea" model for ...
Oferta compartida por Nuria We wish to appoint a research technician to work on the NERC-funded project “Living at the edge: causes and consequences of individual variation in a changing world”. The project studies the effects of landscape fragmentation on behaviour, physiology, morphology, life history and related traits (and their covariation) in a forest-living ground beetle species using individuals living at an edge of a habitat and those at a core. The project combines both experimental and correlative approaches and applies a wide range of methods in the field and laboratory. These range from enclosure experiments, translocations, radio- telemetry, and behavioural and physiological assays. You will be supervised by Dr Wiebke Schuett (Project Lead) and Prof Jeremy Niven (both School of Life Sciences) and will work closely with other members of the research team, including a postdoctoral research fellow and a PhD student.
