Discipline
Plant evolutionary ecology
Methodology
Depending on your preference and skills a range of techniques could be used including basic ecological studies (morphological traits, competition, reproduction) to physiological, chemical, or genetic studies.

Description
Several potential projects available for Masters or PhD students on diverse aspects of invasive plant evolutionary ecology. We have available seeds from different world regions that allow us to compare different ecological, physiological, chemical, or genetic traits to compare local adaptation, evolution, and colonization dynamics during biological invasions.

Would Suit Applicants Who
Have a chat with me if you like to understand how plants (invasive or otherwise) adapta and evolve in response to different environmental conditions across the world. International fieldwork is not mandatory but desirable if you are available.
