PHD OPPORTUNITY: Assessing demographic resilience of tropical and temperate reef organisms (University of Leeds, UK) phd.leeds.ac.uk/project/1669… The School of Biology invites applications from postgraduate researchers who wish to commence study for a PhD in marine ecology to study reef tropicalisation in 2024/25. Adapt, move, or die. These are the three options that reef organisms have as the environment around them changes, such as that happening under ongoing climate change. Global warming facilitates range shifts of tropical corals towards colder high-latitude temperate reefs, but it is unclear to what degree corals – and other organisms – can mould their life history strategies to cope with such marginal conditions. Evaluating this question relies on capturing the rates of growth, recruitment, and survival of hundreds of corals across multiple locations, strategically situated along a thermal gradient.
