Prof. dr. Ellen van Donk

The aquatic research of Ellen van Donk has delivered many fundamental insights into the functioning of aquatic ecosystems, which have provided the basis for theory development, lake-ecosystem models and restoration practices. She has been especially interested in how ecological mechanisms and abiotic factors govern the dynamics and structure of food webs in aquatic ecosystems, acknowledging the demands from society for scientific input for nature conservation and ecosystem restoration. She has initiated several innovative research lines including the impact of chemical information transfer on food web interactions in lakes, host parasite interactions in plankton, ecological restoration of lakes, and biological control of toxic cyanobacteria. These lines still form the main core of the research program of her department.
