climate change in high latitude fairy shrimps preventing extinction through landscape genomics and ecological niche modelling

in climate change scenarios species become highly dependent on their traits to adapt and survive to new environmental conditions in species distributed along a wide latitudinal range selection against immigrants from areas subject to different climate conditions may lead to strong genetic isolation genetic isolation minimises the probability of evolutionary rescue reducing the chances to overcome future climate change effects in addition while climate change leads to changes in species distributions range continuity largely depends on successful migration from the current geographic range this project aims to combine landscape genomics and ecological niche modelling to predict climate change vulnerability in two fairy shrimp species anostraca from northern europe branchinecta paludosa and polyartemia forcipata these approaches will allow me to detect warmadapted and coldadapted populations across the distribution range of the species characterise these adaptations at the genomic level identify environmental features that promote population connectivity and evolutionary rescue and predict future climatically suitable areas and migration success project outputs will guide the design of conservation measures that enable the survival of these two fairy shrimp species under current and future climate change conditions these species account for almost the entire known diversity of high latitude fairy shrimps in the palearctic and constitute an essential anchor in the functioning of freshwater ecosystems developing this project will drive my training in landscape genomics and ecology which is essential to route my scientific specialisation towards conservation genomics of invertebrate taxa

interfacial electrochemistry of carbonbased interlayer in lithiummetal solidstate batteries

lithiummetal solidstate batteries lmssbs are regarded as highly promising postlithiumion technology due to their high energy density and exceptional safety however their practical application remains challenging because of the interfacial issues at the metallic lithiumsolidstate electrolyte interface eg contact resistance and dendrite formation in this regard interlayer engineering based on carbon materials with different dimensions and fluorination degrees has been proposed to effectively address interfacial issues specifically carbon quantum dots 0d nanostripes 1d and nanosheets 2d will be used to clarify the influence of the geometric structure of carbon on the platingstripping performance of lithium ions also the fluorination degrees of carbon nanostructures will be precisely regulated to quantitively understand the fluorine chemistryelectrochemical performance relationships ultimately this project will fill the knowledge gap in geometric design and chemical modification of carbonbased interlayer materials for developing safety lmssbs with energy density 500 wh kg1 and cycling life 2000 times
realised ecological niche and species distributions under global environmental change

species are readjusting their geographical distributions as a response to ongoing environmental change thus predicting species distributions is an urgent conservation endeavour however the responses of a species to the environment may vary in space and time ie niche change as the result of the spatiotemporal context of where and when its different populations occur niche changes are expected to have important consequences i they can invalidate nichebased species distribution models as a widely used predictive conservation tool due to the limited spatiotemporal context of the underlying species distribution data and ii they can impact the performance of species eg their conservation status and extinction risk that become decoupled from their optimal environmental conditions however we still poorly understand how the magnitude of niche change varies among species especially within their native distributions and over relatively short time spans under ongoing global change i will study how and why the magnitude of niche change varies among bird species more specifically i will examine how species functional traits and rates of global change within the species geographical ranges affect the magnitude of niche change and how niche change may impact the conservation status of species the ultimate goal is to produce a global synthesis of spatial and temporal niche change to understand the general propensity of bird species to change their realised ecological niches the project will contribute to estimate specieswise uncertainty of species distribution models and refine their predictions based on species ecological traits

partisan prejudice origins consequences and remedies in european multiparty democracies

partisan prejudice exists when citizens hold negative attitudes towards party supporters such prejudice is widespread many people have stereotypical views of and dislike the supporters of certain parties sometimes amounting to outright partisan hostilitypartisan prejudice is a challenge for liberal democracy it deepens societal rifts lowers social trust weakens the acceptance of elite compromise and leads to discrimination and social ostracism this challenge is urgent at a time of political division and democratic backsliding yet partisan prejudice is barely studied particularly in europepartisan will provide a novel theoretical framework and rigorous empirical evidence for understanding partisan prejudice with the ambition of fundamentally altering how voters and parties are studied in multiparty systems the theoretical framework posits that objective characteristics of party supporters form the basis of partisan stereotypes but that these linkages are filtered through individual perceptions and moderated by party and countrylevel characteristicsbased on this framework this project will provide groundbreaking evidence on the prevalence and origins of partisan prejudice and assess its political and societal consequences including for political participation discrimination and social cohesion partisan will also provide political and societal actors with evidence on three ways to reduce partisan prejudice interparty contact recategorization and social normspartisan will implement new measurement tools in a new twelvecountry survey and in experiments conducted in populationbased surveys and in the field innovative experimental designs will be used to rigorously assess the origins and consequences of partisan prejudice as well as potential remediesstudying a littlestudied phenomenon using diverse methods partisan will significantly extend our knowledge of partisan prejudice what effects it has and how its impact can be minimized
