Monash Postgraduate Scholarship in Animal Behaviour and Evolutionary Ecology. School of Biological Sciences, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. The School of Biological Sciences at Monash University is offering a fully funded PhD scholarship to an outstanding student for research in one of the following projects:. Diversification and conservation of Australia's lizards (Prof. David Chapple): Species diversity, ecology and conservation status of northern Australia's remarkable lizard fauna under climate change, invasives and habitat loss. (Lab: https://www.chapplelab.com ). Why is genetic variation for fitness so high? (A/Prof. Tim Connallon): Meta-analysis and modelling of why additive genetic variance for fitness is so high, and what it means for adaptation and population viability (no prior modelling experience needed). (Lab: https://www.monash.edu/science/schools/biological-sciences/staff/timc ). Endosymbiont interactions and evolutionary conflict (Prof. Damian Dowling): How mitochondrial, Wolbachia and nuclear genomes interact to shape host fitness, reproduction and adaptation. (Lab: https://damiandowlinglab.org ). Physiological basis of response diversity (Dr Giulia Ghedini): How variation and evolution in species physiology propagate through interactions to stabilise ecological communities under global change.
