Yeasts for the Sustainability in Viticulture and Oenology (YeSVitE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,
Modern viticulture and oenology were born in the last century responding to the need to innovate in traditional technologies. However, current economic, ecological and social changes require new strategies for wine production that take an integrated view of the entire wine production chain to ensure sustainability. Current management systems of vineyards and fermentations are indeed not economical ...

Patterns and drivers in malaria-like infections: meta and infra-population dynamics of specialised parasites (AvianMalariaGenetics)
Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
Understanding how transmission influences parasite population structure and virulence in understudied non-human pathogens is crucial for general models of host-parasite coevolution and our ability to cope with emerging diseases. Therefore, I propose a study to reveal coevolutionary and population dynamics and their underlying mechanisms within and between hosts of parasites in wild bird population ...

Linking landscape genetic structure with local adaptation to changing environments (MOVE2ADAPT)
Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2016,
Climate change and habitat fragmentation are considered key pressures on biodiversity. Two spatial population processes are important determinants of a species’ vulnerability to habitat fragmentation and climate change: 1) the species’ ability to disperse and colonise new areas, and 2) the species’ ability to adapt to these new areas. This study will evaluate the sensitivity of the damselfly, Ishn ...

Linking neuronal activity to ecology: How the sensory environment of a species shapes the neural representation of the external world in the insect brain (BrainVisualEcology)
Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: May 31, 2015,
Animals navigate their surroundings in a large variety of environments, ranging from dim forests at night to bright open fields during the day. How have their brains evolved to achieve precise visually guided behaviors in such different environments? Despite their small eyes and tiny brains, insects perform sophisticated orientation behaviors in almost all ecological niches on Earth. This, and the ...
