PhD Opportunity: Behaviour before abundance — can aphid behaviour warn us of an outbreak before their numbers rise? This PhD project explores whether early behavioural changes in aphids can predict population growth, dispersal, or decline before visible outbreaks occur. The work combines computer vision , insect feeding measurements , and Bayesian modelling to investigate behaviour-based forecasting for sustainable agriculture and pest management. The opportunity is ideal for applicants interest...
