Projects in cluster A

Projects in cluster A will study phenotypic plasticity in response to variation in environmental conditions, mostly temperature. Projects with a mainly experimental, wet-lab focus are shown in grey boxes, those with a combined wet-lab and computational-modelling focus in yellow boxes.
