Project List

Project List overview Ageing brains, metabolism and sleep Aging and nutritional stress impacts on cellular processes Brain and behavioural disfunction in interspecific hybrids, and their role in speciation Butterfly banks as miniature conservation interventions Characterising newly discovered neurotransmitter receptors Conservation of wild bees in agricultural landscapes Convergent evolution of social regurgitation across Hymenoptera Eco-evolutionary dynamics of early animals Effects of light microhabitats in shaping species assemblages in tropical forest Epigenetic mechanism of critical period-plasticity in nervous system development Evolution of behavioural mechanisms underpinning spatial memory Evolution of Living Storage – Genomic and Behavioural Analysis of Honeypot Ant Repletism Extreme chromosomal instability in bivalve transmissible cancers Fine-scale community ecology of Antarctic benthic communities Gene family diversification in the black soldier fly Glial cell evolution during brain expansion Functional analysis of in vivo macromolecular complexes Heat stress vulnerability in insects during critical periods of development – understanding mechanisms to find solutions How effective are current conservation policies at reversing insect decline? How has the morphology of moths altered in response to anthropogenic change over the past two centuries? Identifying and characterising novel invertebrate ion channel receptors Lifespan impacts of metabolic division of labour Life on the edge: local adaptation and conservation status of butterflies on the Orme Metabolic regulation of brain development Movement and connectivity conservation for biodiversity Phenotypic plasticity of feeding in the leaf-footed bugs Population genomics of invasive Helicoverpa crop pests Predicting the Evolution of Influenza Rare taxa in the early animals of the Ediacaran Regulation of neuronal plasticity by metabolic reactive oxygen species Reproductive and dispersal dynamics of early animals of the Ediacaran Repeated adaptation to altitude in Andean butterflies Reversing defaunation through rewilding and its consequences for biodiversity and ecosystem function The effects of nutrition on the insect skeleton The impacts of riparian within oil palm on insect movement and behaviour The mechanisms underlying colour polymorphisms in trumpetfish Towards an Integrative Understanding of Animal Weapons Tracking the past to predict the future Translational regulation via bimolecular condensates
