Predicting the effects of environmental change on biodiversity

You are here: Home / Archives for Aquatic ecology

First call AQUACOSM-PLUS

AQUACOSM-plus offers funding for mesocosm experiments through a unique collaborative international project, representing a full cross section of aquatic ecosystems. It is a good opportunity to visit and work in our Iberian-wide distributed pond mesocosm facility set up to examine the effects of climate change on aquatic biodiversity.

Conference: Community Ecology for the 21st Century

Photo by Miguel Araújo (Guys fulvus in Monfrague) Of the many problems confronting society on the veil of the 21st Century, one of the gravest is the likelihood that modern humans may so change the intrincate workings of the earth's ecosystems that they will no longer be able to provide the support that human culture requires for its existence. Yet, our ability to understand and predict the . . .

Postdoc: Modelling food web architectures under climate change

Starting date: July-August 2016 Duration: 36 months Stipend: EUR 1495 per month (free of tax) plus social security. Other subsidies: EUR 750 per year to participate in scientific meetings and conferences, EUR 300-600 for inbound and outbound travelling. Background Can we predict the effects of climate changes on biodiversity? Existing models are based on several weak assumptions, generally . . . [ Read More ]

Cátia Pereira obtained a PhD studentship

Congratulations to Cátia Pereira who obtained a PhD studentship funded through the extremely competitive Portuguese FCT programme. Cátia’s project seeks to improve understanding of climate change effects on aquatic food webs using the lab’s unique mesocosm experimental facility. Cátia will read for her PhD at the University of Copenhagen’s Natural History Museum in a partnership involving CMEC, . . . [ Read More ]

New Marie Curie Fellow – Miguel Matias

Congratulations to Miguel Matias who just started a Marie Curie Fellowship at Miguel Araújo lab. Miguel is an ecologist trying to understand the mechanisms underlying species’ responses to changes in their natural habitats. His research integrates empirical, experimental and theoretical approaches ranging from bacterial microcosms to macro-ecological models (see his publications here). In 2011, . . . [ Read More ]
