PhD Project - Funded PhD - From genes to food webs: insect interactions with plants and mammals in tropical forest landscapes at University of Bristol, listed on FindAPhD.com
In a novel application of the classic "island biogeography" method, new research among the 3500 artificial forest islands created by the notorious Balbina dam in the Brazilian Amazon show how predator-prey interaction networks and associated ecological functions become impoverished in smaller forest fragments, increasing the chance of extinction and ecosystem collapse
