It is of particular interest for tropical African trees which have had to adapt to drierconditions over the last million years, certainly necessitating specific responses to tolerate and\/or avoiddesiccation. The BERLiNiA project aims to explore the evolutionary history of drought tolerance\/avoidancetraits in tropical trees within the hyperdiversified Berlinia clade endemic to Africa. The project relies on theexpertise in (phylo)genetics from ULB (Olivier Hardy) and functional ecology from ULi\u00e8ge (Adeline Fayolleand Anais Gorel).","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.cfwt.sua.ac.tz\/foresteconomics\/phd-position-in-the-berlinia-project-evolutionary-ecology-of-tropical-trees-in-the-berlinia-clade\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/www.cfwt.sua.ac.tz\/foresteconomics\/phd-position-in-the-berlinia-project-evolutionary-ecology-of-tropical-trees-in-the-berlinia-clade\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/www.cfwt.sua.ac.tz\/foresteconomics\/phd-position-in-the-berlinia-project-evolutionary-ecology-of-tropical-trees-in-the-berlinia-clade\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/www.cfwt.sua.ac.tz\/foresteconomics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Liege-University.png","contentUrl":"https:\/\/www.cfwt.sua.ac.tz\/foresteconomics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Liege-University.png","width":553,"height":335},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/www.cfwt.sua.ac.tz\/foresteconomics\/phd-position-in-the-berlinia-project-evolutionary-ecology-of-tropical-trees-in-the-berlinia-clade\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/www.cfwt.sua.ac.tz\/foresteconomics\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"PhD position in the BERLiNiA project \u2013 Evolutionary ecology of tropical trees in the Berlinia clade"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/www.cfwt.sua.ac.tz\/foresteconomics\/#website","url":"https:\/\/www.cfwt.sua.ac.tz\/foresteconomics\/","name":"Department of Forest and Environment Economics| Sokoine University of Agriculture","description":"","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/www.cfwt.sua.ac.tz\/foresteconomics\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/www.cfwt.sua.ac.tz\/foresteconomics\/#\/schema\/person\/ef0b94dcec602646fd35ad189dc99788","name":"Grayson Nyamoga","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/www.cfwt.sua.ac.tz\/foresteconomics\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/7bf204862ce8ff6f0be73a1e18fe19500e29d851f49a5108b25316e200627b24?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/7bf204862ce8ff6f0be73a1e18fe19500e29d851f49a5108b25316e200627b24?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Grayson Nyamoga"},"url":"https:\/\/www.cfwt.sua.ac.tz\/foresteconomics\/author\/nyamoga\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cfwt.sua.ac.tz\/foresteconomics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3933","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cfwt.sua.ac.tz\/foresteconomics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cfwt.sua.ac.tz\/foresteconomics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cfwt.sua.ac.tz\/foresteconomics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cfwt.sua.ac.tz\/foresteconomics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3933"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.cfwt.sua.ac.tz\/foresteconomics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3933\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3938,"href":"https:\/\/www.cfwt.sua.ac.tz\/foresteconomics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3933\/revisions\/3938"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cfwt.sua.ac.tz\/foresteconomics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3937"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cfwt.sua.ac.tz\/foresteconomics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3933"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cfwt.sua.ac.tz\/foresteconomics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3933"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cfwt.sua.ac.tz\/foresteconomics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3933"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
