Introduction
Research in biological science is a dynamic and ever-evolving field that seeks to
unlock the secrets of life itself. It delves into the intricate workings of living
organisms, ranging from the tiniest microorganisms to complex ecosystems, and
explores the fundamental processes that underpin life on Earth. This research is
pivotal in advancing our understanding of genetics, evolution, ecology, physiology,
and so much more, with profound implications for fields like medicine, agriculture,
and environmental conservation.
Biological research often takes on various forms, including laboratory experiments,

fieldwork, data analysis, and modeling. Scientists investigate a vast array of topics,
from the molecular mechanisms that govern cellular function to the broader
ecological interactions between species and their environment. With each
discovery, biological research not only enriches our knowledge but also provides
the foundation for practical applications, from developing new medical treatments
to ensuring the sustainability of our planet.
As a cornerstone of scientific inquiry, research in biological science continually

reshapes our understanding of life and the natural world. It offers the promise of
breakthroughs that can improve human health, protect biodiversity, and address
some of the most pressing challenges of our time. This introduction merely
scratches the surface of the diverse and ever-expanding realm of biological
research, where curiosity, exploration, and innovation converge to uncover the
mysteries of life itself.
Biological science encompasses a wide range of research fields, each dedicated to

exploring specific aspects of living organisms and their interactions with the
environment. Some prominent fields within biological science include:
Genetics , Ecology , evolutionary Biology, Microbiology, Cell biology, Physiology,

Botany, Zoology, Neuroscience, Molecular biology, Environmental science

 Senior Lecturer
My research interests involve the application of bioinformatics to

environmental genomics and crop Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP)
datasets. My interest in environmental genomics dates back to my PhD
and postdoctoral work on gene flow in algae and cyanobacteria. In recent
years I worked in collaboration with Keith Edwards group at Bristol to
generate useful SNP markers for hexaploid bread wheat. I developed
pipelines to mine inter-varietal SNPs from exome-capture sequence data
and we went on to develop two commercial genotyping arrays from the ~1
million putative SNPs we found. These arrays are now used extensively by
UK wheat breeders to rapidly screen new breeding lines at an early stage
for markers linked to useful traits such as disease resistance and their
impact has been to drastically reduce the time taken to naturally breed new
wheat varieties. The advent of Next Generation Sequencing technology for
DNA has made population-scale analysis of microbial communities
tractable in recent years, which has enabled me to re-visit this area of my
research. I currently have an EU-funded project to investigate micro-
fouling of marine surfaces in which we are using high throughput
sequencing for the identification of both taxa and genes associated with
different anti-fouling compounds. I am also collaborating on projects using
the similar techniques to study the microbial colonisation of retreating
glacial fore-fields (in collaboration with Alex Anesio) and of humans who
have received a nasal flu vaccine (in collaboration with Adam Finn). I am
also working with Juliet Brodie at the Natural History Museum and Chris
Yesson at the Institute of Zoology to develop genotyping by sequencing
and novel sonar-based survey methods for UK kelps. I currently have a
4
PhD vacancy funded by the EU to develop bioinformatics approaches to
mine novel genes from cold environments.

Overview: Maternal and early-life effects in ecology, evolution and epidemiology
My research focuses on how variation in environmental and maternal

conditions shapes offspring development, behaviour and life history, and
the consequences of this individual plasticity for ecological and evolutionary
processes. A key theme of my work is to investigate how transgenerational
and developmental effects drive population responses to environmental
change. I use a variety of approaches, including mathematical models,
comparative analyses and empirical tests on an important disease vector –
the tsetse fly (Glossina spp.).

Research Interests
My research aims to explain diversity in animal reproductive traits, with emphasis
on mechanisms and evolutionary consequences of sperm competition and
sexual selection, particularly in mammals. I also have broad interests in the fields
of behavioural and evolutionary ecology relating to reproductive strategies, life
history evolution and social behaviour. Current projects include experimental and
comparative studies of social competition and sexual selection. Multidisciplinary
collaborations apply molecular and proteomics techniques to address
evolutionary questions within these areas. I also collaborate with project partners
on applied conservation problems.

Senior Lecturer in Marine BiologyEarth, Ocean and
Ecological Sciences
Research Interest
My research interests lie at the interface of the traditional disciplines of ecology,
physiology and behaviour. My work focuses on seabirds, as these animals must
adapt be adapted to two contrasting environments: the challenges of foraging in
a big, deep, cold, dark, distant water body are very different to those that they
face while breeding and moulting on land. Furthermore, both of these
environments and their associated challenges change naturally on a seasonal
and annual basis and are under anthropogenic threats from over-fishing, climate
change and renewable energy developments.

Lecturer in Marine EcologyEarth, Ocean and Ecological
Sciences
Research Interest:
My research interests focus on the behaviour and physiology of aquatic
animals and how they respond to environmental challenges. Specifically I’m
interested in coping styles, the interplay of stress physiology and personality,
and the exogenous and endogenous drivers of intraspecific variation in
behaviour. I've previously worked on fish but my current research focuses on
intertidal organisms since littoral habitats provide an interesting
environmental gradient and an often diverse community to explore..

Dr Rachel Jeffreys PhD

Senior Lecturer in Marine BiologyEarth, Ocean and
Ecological Sciences
Research Interest :
I am a benthic ecologist/biogeochemist. I am particularly interested in deep-
sea habitats (>200 m water depth). My primary research focus is food web
ecology and organic matter biogeochemistry. My main research emphasis
is on how organic matter quality and quantity structures benthic
communities/food webs and in turn how these communities process and
alter organic matter.
16
Primary research questions include:
What are the primary factors controlling the quality and quantity of organic
matter reaching the seafloor?
Can we detect climatic variation in the quantity/quality of organic matter

reaching the seafloor?
How does variation in the supply of organic matter to the seafloor and long-
term changes in benthic community structure at the seafloor impact benthic
trophodynamics?
Do benthic fauna feed/assimilate on organic matter selectively? What are

the impact of this for co-exisiting species and organic matter cycling?
How is organic matter utilized and transformed by benthic communities?
In order to address these research questions I use a variety of biochemical

tools such as: stable carbon and nitrogen analyses, lipid and pigment
biomarkers and compound-specific isotope analsyes.

Dr Antony Knights
Associate Professor in Marine Ecology
School of Biological and Marine Sciences (Faculty of Science and
Engineering)
Research Interest:
I have two primary areas of research: (1) the role of supply-side ecology in population
dynamics and the structure and functioning of ecosystems, and (2) ecosystem-based
management and risk assessment models.
Supply-side ecology, population dynamics and ecosystem structure and
functioning
I use a combination of field-based experimental approaches and theoretical models to
assess how populations become established and develop in an effort to understand
how key anthropogenic and environmental pressures may affect population persistence.
In particular, my work focuses on: quantifying the role of density-dependent processes
in population development and growth; assessing the role of abiotic and biotic factors
such as selective extraction, habitat availability, flow dynamics, competition and
predation in population growth models; and the development of larval-phase based
models to predict (changes in) species range distributions. I work closely with physical
oceanographers to develop spread predictions using hydrodynamic models. I am
especially interested in the influence of larval behavioural responses to physical
conditions on dispersal predictions.
I am currently supported by grants from Fondation Bertarelli and Garfield-Weston
Foundation to assess conservation strategies for biodiversity hotspots and safe havens
in a changing climate: Oceanographic drivers of ecosystem variability in the Chagos
Archipelago.
Ecosystem-based Management, Human Impacts and Risk Assessment
I am interested in developing frameworks for identifying threats to marine ecosystems
from human activities. Working closely with colleagues from across
Europe which includes previous work on the ODEMM project (www.odemm.com), I
develop linkages between sector activities and their impact on biological features in
order to determine how management programmes can be used to mitigate risk and
support decision-making when implementing environmental policy. I have been working
directly with policy-makers (e.g. United Nations; HELCOM; OSPAR; Dept. of Fisheries
Canada; Marine Institute Ireland) to support their efforts in assessing risk in their
respective regions using the outputs of this research. Engagement is via direct meetings
and my involvement in the eCOST project MARCONS (http://www.marcons-cost.eu).

Research interest:
My passion is to understand and predict adaptive responses of organisms,
and impacts on ecosystems, arising from widespread environmental
change (e.g. climate, eutrophication).
Our investigations focus particularly on adaptation to temperature, and the
fundamental impacts of body size, temperature, and resource flux on rates
of biological processes at levels of organization ranging from individuals to
ecosystems.
These biological processes include resource uptake, growth, development,
population growth, ecosystem respiration and photosynthesis.
Working at the interface of ecology, evolution and physiology, we advance
new theory, including novel metabolic scaling theory; perform experiments
20
on whole ecosystems and populations; and carry out biological and
ecological syntheses (meta-analyses) to quantify global trends.
Research
Adaptation to Temperature
Temperature Effects on Body Size - The Temperature-Size Rule
99.9% of species rely on external sources for their body heat: these are
ectotherms.
Body size and temperature have major impacts on organisms in nature.
The “Temperature-Size Rule” (TSR) (Atkinson 1994) is an inverse relationship

between rearing temperature and final size in ectotherms. Understanding it
remains a major challenge.
We have performed empirical tests, meta-analyses and developed new theory.
We have shown that warming causes greater size reduction in aquatic than
terrestrial species, and that responses observed in controlled experiments are
mirrored in the field across latitudes and seasons.
Experimental organisms: fish, Daphnia, insects, Bryozoa and protists.

Funding: NERC

Horne et al. 2015.
b) Limits to Adaptation
21
We are investigating how rapidly species can evolve, what the limits are to
evolution, and how evolution of one species will affect the rest of the ecosystem
with which it interacts.
These questions are being answered using large-scale freshwater mesocosm

experiments that focus on the evolutionary response of the water flea Daphnia
magna to an increased frequency of heat waves.
The work aims to advance understanding of how genetic diversity, plasticity and
epigenetics contribute and combine to allow populations to adapt to environmental
change and how this affects biodiversity and functioning of shallow freshwater
ecosystems.

epidemiological model.

Conclusion
In the quest for a sustainable future, the fusion of ecology, revolution, and
microbiology within the realm of marine biology offers immense promise.
Through this harmonious convergence, we have delved deep into the mysteries of
the oceans, uncovering the vital roles of microorganisms, the complexities of
marine ecosystems, and the need for transformative change.
Our conclusion is clear: we stand at the threshold of a new era in marine biology,
one where ecological insights, revolutionary technologies, and microbial wonders
come together to guide us towards sustainable practices. The synergy of these
disciplines not only enhances our understanding of the oceans but also equips us
with innovative tools to protect marine life, combat climate change, and ensure the
long-term health of our oceans.
As we navigate the challenges of a changing world, this united approach holds the
potential to shape policies, conserve marine biodiversity, and unlock the full
potential of our oceans. The promise of a sustainable future rests in the harmonious
alliance of ecology, revolution, and microbiology within the field of marine
biology, as we embark on a journey to safeguard the world's most precious
ecosystems for generations to come.
