PhD Opportunities

I welcome applications at any time for PhD studentships relating to my interests (below). Funding is not yet clear for 2012 but I have several funding bids in the pipeline.

Fellowships

I am always willing to discuss applications for fellowships to work in my group e.g. via Marie Curie Fellowships

Research Interests

I maintain diverse ecological research interests, although my focus is now largely on various aspects of the conservation of biodiversity (at genetic, species and community level), particularly of bumblebees. I have a strong interests in the application of molecular techniques to answering ecological questions. I am also increasingly involved in “Citizen Science” as a mechanism to involve large numbers of people in conservation and in science more generally, and also as a means for gathering large data sets. In 2003 I bought a farm in France on which to carry out large-scale habitat manipulation experiments. Some current research areas are outlined below:

1. Conservation, ecology and population genetics of bumblebees. Bumblebees are undergoing declines throughout their natural range. Of the 27 UK species, 3 are extinct and a further 8 are now exceedingly rare. As yet we know very little about many fundamental aspects of their ecology, such as their foraging range, or minimum viable population size. I am currently involved in four major projects to investigate aspects of the ecology and conservation of bumblebees in the UK: a) Spatial modelling of bumblebee populations in agricultural landscapes (jointly with University of Newcastle and IACR Rothamsted, BBSRC funded); b) Effects of habitat fragmentation on the population structure of rare bumblebees (funded by Leverhulme Trust, NERC & the CB Dennis Trust), using the Hebridean islands to the west of Scotland as a model system; c) Effects of management practices and socioeconomic factors on bumblebee communities in machair (jointly with Department of Economics); d) Use of a bumblebee sniffer dog to study bumblebee nest density and survival (funded by the Leverhulme Trust).

[Left: The great yellow bumblebee, Bombus distinguendus, the UK’s rarest bumblebee species]

The best habitat for bumblebees appears to be unimproved mesotrophic grassland, a habitat type that is now very scarce in the UK. The machair of western Scotland (see below) is one of few surviving examples, although it is threatened by changes in crofting practices and depopulation of the region. At present it supports most of the surviving populations of B. distinguendus and B. muscorum (left) in the UK. In the South, Salisbury Plain Military Training Area provides perhaps the single largest fragment of this habitat in NW Europe, and also supports a diverse range of bumblebees including the rare B. sylvarum.

2. Use of molecular tools to: a) evaluate population structure and inbreeding in declining invertebrates (bumblebees, butterflies); b) examine population genetic change over large temporal scales using ‘ancient DNA’ from museum specimens; c). identify cryptic species

3. Sustainable maintenance of ecosystem services in agroecosystems, particularly pollination.

It has become clear that some modern farming systems are not sustainable in the long term since they are eroding vital ecosystem services upon which agricultural production depends. Pollination provides an excellent example; worldwide, 75% of crop species benefit from or require insect pollination, and these crops provide 35% by volume of man's food. At the same time, populations of many pollinators (notably honeybees and bumblebees) are declining in Europe, North America and parts of Asia. Evidence is beginning to accumulate that crop yields are starting to suffer through inadequate pollination. Pollinator populations are threatened still further by climate change. There are thus powerful ecological and economic arguements for the development of strategies to boost and sustain pollinator populations in farmed areas. In conjunction with economists and mathematicians we are investigating the cost effectiveness of alternative management strategies.

There are also fascinating questions regarding the pros and cons of using commercial pollinators (honeybees or bumblebees) versus promoting wild bee populations. The former is arguably high risk since supply could fail, and also involves environmental risks (spread of disease, escape of non-native species).

Current projects are focussed on developing sustainable pollinator management practices for fruit farms (funded by NERC/ESRC, European Investment Bank).

4. Impact of introduced bee species (particularly honeybees and bumblebees) on native fauna (of Australia, Central America and Scotland). The honeybee now has a global distribution, and because of honey production and its role in pollination it is almost universally regarded as a beneficial organism. However, little is known as to the effects that this and other introduced bee species may be having on native pollinators. More recently, the commercial trade in bumblebees has led to introductions of bumblebees far from their native ranges, posing a range of threats to native bee populations including competition, hybridisation and accidental transport of bee diseases. The latter is perhaps the most significant, but there are at present massive gaps in our knowledge of the diseases of wild bees, and of cross-transmission of bee diseases between species. Of particular concern is recent evidence which shows that honeybees and bumblebees share viral diseases. A sustainable and integrated approach to management of insect pollinators and pollination services is urgently required.

5. Reintroduction of the extinct short-haired bumblebee to the UK. This species became extinct in the UK in 1988, but a population of UK origin survives in New Zealand. In conjunction with various partners and with funding from Natural England, we hope to reintroduce this species to the south-east of England in the near future. Ecological studies, population genetic work and habitat management are ongoing. Among the challenges we face are: creating sufficient habitat in the target release site so that the species can survive; ensuring that the imported bees are not carrying diseases; working out how to get the bees back into sync with the UK seasons. Although the NZ population is of British origin, our studies suggest that it may be highly inbred and was perhaps founded by as few as 3 individuals, so it may be better to introduce this species from Europe (e.g. Sweden).

6. Management, restoration and recreation of species rich grasslands. The UK has lost ~98% of its species-rich grasslands, and this is a driver behind the decline of a number of bumblebee species, particularly those with long-tongues. From a bomblebee conservation perspective there is thus an urgent need to find cost-effective means to restore degraded species-rich grasslands, or to recreate them from scratch. My group currently have field trials of restoration treatments ongoing in the Western Isles of Scotland and in western France, the latter on a farm I purchased in 2003 so that I could set up long term habitat management experiments.

7. Efficacy of agri-environment schemes in supporting biodiversity (bees, bats, birds, moths).

It could be argued that investment of very large sums of money across the EU in agri-environment schemes is delivering rather poor returns. For many schemes, evidence is lacking as to which taxa they benefit, if any. Given the increasing demands on land use for crop production and biofuels, it is important that the small areas of land managed under agri-environment schemes provides optimal benefit to biodiversity. Hence there is considerable work to be done in evaluating the benefits of such schemes, in modifying the schemes to maximise this benefit, and in integrating the impacts of climate change into developing schemes to mitigate the likely impacts upon biodiversity.

8. Foraging behaviour of bumblebees. My first interest in bees was in their foraging behaviour, particularly the roles of learning and memory in recognition and handling of rewarding flowers, and the effects of bee behaviour on plant population structure. One interesting discovery has been the importance of volatile scent marks (deposited during flower visits) which enable foragers to avoid flowers that have recently been emptied of rewards. This behaviour appears to be widespread across bee species, but has previously been largely overlooked. We have identified the compounds used in bumblebees (which vary between species), and shown that they work across species. I am currently examining various aspects of this behaviour, particularly the role of these marks in mediating interspecific interactions. I also have an interest in the foraging decisions made by bees with regard to patch size; these decisions have profound importance for the population biology of the plants that they visit.

9. Other projects. My other interests are diverse, and include: Population genetics and conservation of butterflies; Pollination of rare plants; Evolution of floral characters; Conservation of hoverflies; Factors affecting bat diversity and abundance in woodlands; Conservation of waders in the uplands
