Insect population responses air pollution

项目摘要

This project will conduct national scale analyses of air pollution impacts on insect populations usinglong-term data-sets monitoring over 1,000 terrestrial insect species, and experimental analyses ofdirect and indirect effects of nitrogen dioxide pollution on insects. The student will work with JNCCand Natural Resources Wales to use these data to explore quantifying ecological safe limits for airpollution, and how these can feed into reporting indicators for the 25 year environment plan. Oursupervisory team have an excellent track-record of supporting students in delivering high qualityresearch papers (e.g. in PNAS and Global Change Biology) and delivering impact throughco-supervisors' organisations (JNCC, NRW and CEH).There is negligible understanding of ecological safe limits of air pollution, or how impacts onindividuals scale up to determine population and community level impacts. This project will quantifyhow individual insects and their populations respond to nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and exploremechanistic pathways for these impacts.The student will gain an understanding of how to lead novel 'frontier' science alongside aninterdisciplinary team and a range of stakeholders to generate impact. Specifically, they will gainexpertise in chemical ecology and evaluating ecological safe limits of pollutants, experimental design,insect rearing, plant-insect interactions, statistical data analysis, and use of air pollution models.

该项目将利用监测1 000多种陆地昆虫物种的长期数据集，在全国范围内分析空气污染对昆虫种群的影响，并对二氧化氮污染对昆虫的直接和间接影响进行实验分析。该学生将与JNCC和威尔士自然资源部合作，利用这些数据探索量化空气污染的生态安全限制，以及如何将这些数据纳入25年环境计划的报告指标。我们的导师团队在支持学生发表高质量的研究论文（例如PNAS和全球变化生物学）以及通过共同导师组织（JNCC，NRW和CEH）产生影响方面有着出色的记录。该项目将量化单个昆虫及其种群对二氧化氮（NO2）的反应，并探索这些影响的机制途径。学生将了解如何与跨学科团队和一系列利益相关者一起领导新的“前沿”科学，以产生影响。具体而言，他们将获得化学生态学和评估污染物的生态安全限制，实验设计，昆虫饲养，植物-昆虫相互作用，统计数据分析和空气污染模型的使用方面的专业知识。
