Our new research group based in the School of Science & the Environment at Manchester Metropolitan University has just been launched (see http://www.staff.mmu.ac.uk/manmetlife/news/view/protecting-nature-around-the-world). With it comes what we hope will be an attractive and informative website introducing staff and their research interests, research students and their projects, news and activities, and links to teaching. The CEB group website is in progress at http://www.ceerec.mmu.ac.uk/ceb/. It is worth a look, if only for the lovely photos.

The CEB group
Much of the conservation research we do focuses on biodiverse regions of the world. We are active across Africa, Southeast Asia and South America, working on birds, mammals, amphibians and other groups in tropical forests and other ecosystems. We also work closer to home, in British habitats on habitat fragmentation, restoration of salt marshes, impact of wind farms and noise pollution. We have a special interest in capacity building in developing countries both through PhD training, and taught MScs.

An understanding of ecology, evolution and behaviour provides important insights and new perspectives on the science of conservation. Our group is interested in a wide variety of evolutionary and behavioural topics that range from bioacoustics and determinants of primate social structure to whale behaviour and bumble bee foraging. We also use theoretical models (such as random forest analyses) to assess extinction risks, and DNA sequence analyses to monitor gene flow and minimal viable population size. Our research ranges from the applied (GPS collar tracking of working Police dogs) to the more fundamental (behavioural neuroscience of rodent whiskers).
