ALT A comic titled Types of Moths, with nine panels arranged in a 3 by 3 grid. From left to right and top to bottom, there's a green and white moth labeled bird poop, a brown moth with big antennae labeled gets wifi, a large brown and blue-eyed moth labeled large friend, a tiny orange moth labeled beautiful pattern, probably, a beige and blue moth labeled impossible to ID to species, a beige and brown moth labeled that one you know, with the thing - arg, I forget the name, a yellow and pink moth labeled stuffed toy, a dizzyingly patterned purple and brown moth labeled so dizzyingly complex that it consumes your soul, and a green and white striped moth labeled ooh green.
ALT Applications are invited for a funded 2-year MSc by Research in Dr Karen Bacon’s Plant Ecology & Palaeoecology lab group in the School of Natural Sciences, University of Galway in Ireland. The project is part of a larger Irish Research Council funded project (Hidden Extinctions) focused on understanding plant extinction and leaf traits in both modern and palaeobiological contexts. The successful candidate will assess the leaf traits of a range of plants to determine if there is any relationship between these traits and their risk of extinction. The project will involve travel to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and working with Dr Eimear Nic Lughadha’s Conservation Assessment and Analysis team there. The MSc position is suitable for graduates of biology, botany, conservation science, environmental science, Earth science, physical geography, plant science or an allied discipline with an interest in leaf traits and extinction.
