Ecology

We have two main aims:

1. To conduct excellent research in ecology and deliver societal impact.
2. To deliver excellent research-based teaching in ecology to undergraduates and postgraduates.

Key strengths

We have strengths across many areas:

• fundamental and applied researchers with international reputations
• leaders in learning and teaching development
• a strong track record in impact and engagement with stakeholders and policy-makers

We are interdisciplinary, applied, and, in some cases, develop cutting-edge technology. This includes work in complexity science and environmental genomics.

We collaborate with colleagues from across the University, nationally and internationally and our work has societal impacts.

Our specialisms

Ecology is the study of organism-environment interactions. In the an age of significant human impact on ecosystems, this matters more than ever.

We are in the midst of a major phase of species extinction on Earth, but we have yet to describe 90% of all species.

The consequences of global environmental change are unknown. This includes species loss in ecosystems that support all life and sustain society.

Our work arises from such profound questions of sustainability. It's rooted in international policy frameworks (e.g. UN SDG, IPBES). It seeks to understand, mitigate and prevent loss of biological and genetic diversity.

Examples include:

• working towards effective protected area networks and mitigation of anthropogenic mortalities (e.g. fisheries bycatch)
• developing sustainable agro-ecosystems
• examining the loss of ecological functions (such as pollinators, top predators, fisheries, coastal protection and amenity values)
• understanding the consequences of environmental change on the resilience of ecological networks
• how natural environmental systems can, or should be, valued
• how recent leaps in technology (e.g. DNA-metabarcoding) can assist analysis, monitoring, restoration and conservation of the natural environment

Our group conducts ecological and evolutionary research. We do this to understand and predict the rate of ecosystem change. We seek to underpin sustainable management and policy.

We work across the spectrum, from fundamental ecological science to application and translation into management and policy.

Group management

Mark Whittingham leads the group, supported by deputies Nick Polunin and Sara Marsham.

The group make decisions in a consultative way. We encourage group members (at every level) to take part in decision making. They vote on key decisions and contribute to group strategy.

Our key research areas include:

• coral reef ecology
• trophic interactions
• DNA meta-barcoding
• ecosystem services
• deep-sea ecology
• conservation
• animal tracking
• agro-ecology

Using and developing technology

Our research draws on cutting edge technology in several areas. We contribute to novel interpretation and application of these technologies.

They include:

• stable isotope analysis
• acoustic monitoring
• remote seabed mapping
• ecological modelling
• population genetics
• deep-sea imaging
• next-generation sequencing (NGS) to allow environmental genomics and metagenomics approaches

We have a broad outreach and esteem base. This includes:

• membership of government bodies (IFCAs, Defra)
• international journal editing
• Nick Polunin is Chief Editor of Environmental Conservation
• Darren Evans is a Senior Editor of Animal Conservation
• Mark Whittingham until recently was Senior Editor of Journal of Applied Ecology
• international roles (e.g. IPBES roles)

We use this expertise to develop postgraduate researchers and early career research staff. A focus on career development is part of group practice. We are the subject of regular media coverage, including:

• BBC One Show coverage of Richard Bevan’s work on Cheviot Goats
• BBC Blue Planet's use of Alan Jamieson’s underwater equipment and expertise
• widespread coverage of Darren Evans light pollution paper by the BBC and others

Current funding

We have a wide range of funding, including:

• UK Research Institutes (e.g. NERC x 2, GCRF x 1, ESRC x 1, Newton x 1), EU (e.g. 2xH2020 €10Million projects)
• government (e.g. Marine Strategy Framework Directive x 2, Natural England)
• charity (e.g. Leverhulme x 1, United Nations x 1)
• industry

Our academics deliver teaching across many undergraduate and postgraduate taught degree programmes.

Ecology teaching occurs across subjects in the School of Natural and Environmental Sciences. These include Biology, Zoology, Environmental Sciences, Marine Biology, Marine Zoology and Animal Sciences.

Teaching methods

As Ecologists we deliver a range of teaching methods.

These include lectures, workshops, seminars, small group tutorials, laboratory practicals and field teaching.

We lead the delivery of freshwater, marine and terrestrial fieldwork.

Field trips - local and overseas

We run field trips in the North East, from our farms, Blyth Marine Station, and the Dove Marine Laboratory. We host UK residential field courses, in Kielder Forest and Millport on the Isle of Cumbrae.

We lead overseas field courses to Bermuda, Crete, Mexico, Portugal, Thailand and South Africa. We also deliver teaching on-board our Research Vessel, The Princess Royal.

Prominent roles

We hold roles as Degree Programme Directors (DPDs) on the following programmes:

• BSc (Hons) Zoology (Richard Bevan)
• Marine Science undergraduate degrees (Ben Wigham)
• BSc (Hons) Environmental Science (Simon Peacock)
