I am a co-supervisor on three funded PhD projects being advertised for September 2023. All are funded through the NERC ACCE doctoral training scheme, and have the same application deadline: the 13th January 2023.
The first project looks at how the environment influences male sperm allocation strategies in fruit flies. The project is led by Dr Stuart Wigby, and the student would be based at the University of Liverpool. The second project concerns how temperature extremes influence mosquito fertility and virus transmission in the UK. This project is led by Dr Marcus Blagrove, and is also based at the University of Liverpool. The third project concerns how the environment drives the evolution of plumage and other sexual traits in birds. This project is led by Dr Chris Cooney, and is based at the University of Sheffield. Please see the links for details, or here for all three: https://www.findaphd.com/phds/?Keywords=dougherty And feel free to contact me for more details.

Two new masters students have started in the lab this month. Rose Agnew is an MRes student using meta-analysis to investigate how climate affects fertility in wild birds, and Chris Carmichael is an MBiolSci student using meta-analysis to investigate the fitness benefits of sexual cannibalism in spiders and praying mantises. Welcome both!
Lily Amos has started her PhD in the lab in the last month. Lily will be investigating whether the strength of cryptic female choice in Drosophila melanogaster fruit flies is flexible in relation to a female's environment or health. Lily is co-supervised by Stu Wigby at Liverpool and Nicola Hemmings at Sheffield. Welcome Lily!
