Due date for the application is 25 September. When universities employ Associate Senior Lecturers (BULs), these often have very varied conditions for their research. Some have substantial support from faculty funding and some have extensive external support. However, most of them do not have large research funds initially and the money that is available cannot always be used for their "own" projec

Small passerine birds, such as blue and great tits, avoid breeding in urban areas where there are many non-native trees. Chicks also weigh less the more non-native trees there are in the vicinity of the nest. This is shown in a long-term study from Lund University in Sweden. City trees contribute to several important ecosystem services such as lowering local temperature and purifying air but are a
