Nous proposons deux bourses de thèse pour travailler dans l'équipe ESORE de l'IRBI (UMR7261 CNRS-Université de Tours) sur :
2- l'impact des stress thermiques sur la fondation des colonies de fourmis
Proyecto Washu is an Ecuadorian organization dedicated to biodiversity
conservation since 2012. During this time we have worked on different
strategies for the conservation of the brown-headed spider monkey
(Ateles fusciceps fusciceps) and its habitat (the Ecuadorian Choco).
Among our projects is the research program on ecology and behavior of
this species and other primates in the Ateles Manabí Reserve in Ecuador.
In
order to continue contributing to the research and conservation of
primates in the Ecuadorian coast, we are currently looking for a
coordinator and principal investigator of the scientific research
program of the Ateles Manabí Reserve. This position offer is focused on
the research of wild primate populations of Brown headed spider monkeys
(Ateles fusciceps fusciceps), Mantled Howler monkeys (Alouatta palliata
aequatorialis) and the Ecuadorian white fronted capuchin monkeys (Cebus
aequatorialis) distributed in a fragmented landscape of the Manabí
Province in the northwest of Ecuador. In addition, the person selected
for this position will actively participate in other conservation
strategies that the foundation carries out within the reserve and other
areas of impact, and will also be in charge of coordinating volunteers
and thesis students under his or her responsibility.

Masters by Research Project, University of Exeter, Penryn Campus
Project Title: Using cognitive and behavioural research to enhance UK reintroduction of red-billed choughs
Supervisors:
Professor Alex Thornton, University of Exeter (www.wildcognitionresearch.com)
Dr Rachael Miller (Harrison), Anglia Ruskin University & University of Cambridge (www.drrachaelmiller.com)
Start date and duration: Two years from September 2024
Project Description:
The
red-billed chough, Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax, is Britain’s most
endangered corvid and the focus of reintroduction and monitoring efforts
in small pockets of Cornwall, Jersey and Wales. With annual releases
from 2023-2028, the Wildwood Trust (Kent) is working with Paradise Park
(Cornwall), Kent Wildlife Trust, Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust
(Jersey) and White Cliffs Countryside Partnership (Dover) to reintroduce
chough in Kent.
This MbyRes project aims to enhance
reintroduction efforts through cognitive and behavioural experimental
and observational approaches on captive and released choughs in Kent and
Cornwall. It will focus largely on individual differences, behavioural
flexibility and learning, in relation to fitness proxies, such as body
condition/ weight. The aim is for findings to be implemented in
reintroduction protocols, such as informing release decisions and
targeted pre-release training.
Where you’ll study:
The
student will be based in the Centre for Ecology and Conservation at the
University of Exeter’s Penryn campus, hosted within Prof Alex
Thornton’s Wild Cognition Research Group, with co-supervision from Dr
Rachael Miller (Harrison) at ARU in Cambridge.
Requirements:
Applicants
should have a strong academic track record and be predicted to graduate
from their undergraduate degree with a First or high 2.1.
Applicants
should have keen interests in animal behaviour/cognition/conservation,
strong analytical abilities and some relevant research experience (e.g.
third year dissertation).
It is a strong advantage if you have a driving license and your own car.
Fees:
Standard MbyRes university fees apply (sorry!). See here for details: https://www.exeter.ac.uk/study/pg-research/funding/fees/
How to apply:
In the first instance, please email Rachael (rachael.harrison@aru.ac.uk) and Alex (alex.thornton@exeter.ac.uk)
by 18th March 2024 with a CV and cover letter explaining your interest
in the project and any relevant experience (e.g. fieldwork, research,
stats skills).
We are advertising two fully funded PhD projects on maternal-offspring conflict. The scholarship offers a stipend for 3 years and covers fees. Interested students should contact the lead supervisor to discuss the project.
Deadline for applications: ***29th of Februay 2024*** .
1. The impact of maternal-offspring conflict on growth, behaviour and stress in fallow deer
fawns
Lead supervisor: Dr Domhnall Jennings (D.JenningsATqub.ac.uk)
Conflict between parents and offspring over parental resource allocation is expected to arise close to the time of offspring independence. Using the fallow deer as a model species this project will investigate how parent-offspring conflict and conflict within the wider group affect behaviour, growth and stress in fallow deer fawns from birth to weaning.
2. Maternal-offspring and cooperation during pregnancy in mammals
Lead supervisor: Dr Isabella Capellini (I.CapelliniATqub.ac.uk)
Parent-offspring conflict is well understood through research on behaviour and interactions during infancy and beyond. Much less understood is the cryptic conflict present in livebearing species during pregnancy. This project aims to test a series of hypotheses on the role of conflict during pregnancy in mammals using phylogenetic comparative methdods
