La Caixa PhD studentship to work in global conservation prioritisation

La Caixa Foundation is funding a number of PhD projects in a variety of domains. I am offering one such projects for a highly motivated student in conservation biology. The project title is "Global biodiversity conservation under climate and land use change" and can be found in the link below. I look forward to receiving good applications from committed students. The projects can be searched in . . . [ Read More ]

Credits: Image taken from here  4 years PhD Studentship FPI PhD studentship in the context of the PredWeb (Predicting Food-Web Biogeography) Project, funded through the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities. Background: Nature’s complexity is intriguing, but the circumstances determining whether or how order emerges from such complexity remains a matter of . . . [ Read More ]

PhD Viva of David García Callejas

David just defended is PhD thesis on Structure and Dynamics of Ecological Networks with Multiple Interactions at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, specifically the CREAF, and it went very well. The evaluation panel included José Montoya (CNRS), Nacho Bartolomeus (CSIC), and Carlos Melián (ETH). The discussion was both entertaining and intellectually stimulating: a good example of how PhD . . . [ Read More ]

PhD studentship – Global Biodiversity Conservation Priorities

OPTIMISING GLOBAL BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION PRIORITIES IN A CHANGING WORLD Global environmental changes are causing major changes in the distributions and abundances of species and leading to profound changes in the quantity and quality of habitats and the services provided by ecosystems. Conventional conservation planning methodologies still have limited capacity to handle multiple stressors . . . [ 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 ]
