Fossil tracks and trackways (a type of trace fossil or ichnofossil) provide highly complementary information to the body fossil record. Tracks are more abundant than body fossils as organisms have one skeleton, but may leave many of tracks in their lifetime, often occur in stratigraphic levels...

. This PhD project will explore a novel approach: leveraging polymeric microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology to create a miniaturised micropump-based ingestible capsule that can actively deliver

Urbanisation is a driving force in biodiversity change at a global level (McDonald et al. 2020), affecting species’ assemblages, and affecting functional ecology across multiple taxa (Hahs et al., 2023). Its impact is typically assessed using gradient approaches (McDonnell, & Hahs, 2008)....

Intermittent streams (c. 50% of world rivers) and headwaters (c. 90% of rivers) are key riverine systems for hydrology, ecology and water quality, which are poorly monitored and lack data (Dugdale et al. 2022; Mainstone et al. 2018; Datry et al. 2016). Streams are often flagged...

Great apes held in captivity need resilience: the ability to ‘bounce back’ following setbacks. This is particularly true for apes entering sanctuaries or rehabilitation centres, as they have usually endured traumatic conditions, including killing of their mother and separation from their social...

Food passage time through animal guts is a critical parameter for constraining an animal’s ability to act as an agent of nutrient, seed, microbe, or pathogen dispersal in its ecosystem. Current methods to estimate food passage do not measure food directly, are impractical for many...

Blue carbon ecosystems, such as coastal wetlands, saltmarshes and peatlands, store significant amounts of carbon through sequestration of atmospheric carbon dioxide. In fact, these ecosystems can store up to ten times more carbon per hectare than temperate forests, underscoring their strong...

The construction industry accounts for 8–10% of global anthropogenic CO₂ emissions and faces significant challenges in achieving NetZero targets by 2050. This PhD project offers an exciting
