TITLE: The impact of urban noise on bird fertility and distribution

PROJECT SUMMARY
This project will combine national-scale models of bird and noise distribution with controlled field experiments on individual birds testing behavioural effects, and will culminate in a predictive model of the impacts of urban noise on birds. This policy-relevant project, a collaboration between the British trust for Ornithology and MMU, will greatly increase understanding of impacts of urban noise on biodiversity.

STUDENT ELIGIBILITY
Fully funded PhD studentships at MMU are only available to home and EU students.
