Research Degree Opportunity at the University of Melbourne This project is titled Reptile macroecology & biodiversity and is offered by the School of BioSciences, Faculty of Science at the University of Melbourne in Australia (Parkville campus). The project will investigate the global-scale biodiversity of reptiles, or potentially all land vertebrates, across multiple dimensions: taxonomic, phylogenetic, morphological, life history, physiological, and functional . This is a strong fit for studen...

The Shefferson lab at the University of Tokyo is recruiting graduate students for a JSPS-funded research project in evolutionary demography and life history evolution in long-lived plants. This opportunity is open at both the MS and PhD levels. The lab works on plant ecology , evolutionary ecology , population dynamics, conservation of rare plant populations, the evolutionary loss of photosynthesis, and mycorrhizal evolution. Current projects use game theoretical models to study plant population...

The Bock Lab at Oklahoma State University is recruiting two graduate students for MS or PhD study beginning Fall 2027 in Integrative Biology . The lab combines ecology , developmental biology , and comparative genomics to study how diverse animal life histories emerge and evolve. Possible research directions include temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD) in turtles, focusing on ecological, evolutionary, and genomic processes shaping thermal responses, and epigenomic drivers of aging and l...
