Page last updated: 10-07-2018
I am interested in the question how patterns in biodiversity are shaped by dynamics at both local and regional scales, and how knowledge on these dynamics can be used for the development of effective conservation and management schemes. Metacommunity ecology is a rapidly expanding field in community ecology with an increasing impact on current thinking about communities, biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and conservation biology. An important part of my recent research has focused on how spatial dynamics can affect the structure, biodiversity and trophic interactions in aquatic metacommunities. Using data from large scale field surveys (e.g., ditch networks in The Netherlands, farmland ponds in Belgium and temporary pools in the Bolivian Andes), we study how the structure of metacommunities is related to the dispersal mode of organisms, connectivity patterns in the landscape, heterogeneity in the environment and spatial scale. We also use mesocosm to explore potential interaction effects of dispersal with environmental heterogeneity.
Traits of species are not necessarily fixed but can be prone to rapid evolutionary change. Such changes can have important implications for the interactions of populations with their biotic, physical and chemical environment. For this reason, we are currently setting up a research line that will address contemporary micro-evolutionary change in zooplankton populations and the consequences this may have for the dynamics of food web interactions, biodiversity and ecosystem functions.

* Rapid evolution of zooplankton under conditions of stoichiometric imbalance: Consequences for ecosystem functions and trophic interactions.
Research project funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO; ALW1PJ/13020; duration: 2014-2018; budget: 241,300 EURO); principal investigator: Steven Declerck
According to ecological stoichiometry, consumers require biogenic elements (e.g. C, N, and P) in specific ratios and deviations from these ratios in food resources may result in lowered growth rates, fecundity and survival. A variety of consumer organisms have been shown to harbor substantial intra-specific genetic variation for the ability to cope with such elemental imbalances. An important implication is that stoichiometric imbalances can thus potentially be an important selection factor causing rapid micro-evolutionary adaptations in natural consumer populations. Such genetic adaptations can be achieved in many ways and have important consequences for food web interactions and ecosystem functions, such as nutrient cycling and primary productivity. For example, if adaptation leads to adjustments of body elemental composition, this may cause elemental mismatch with predators and result in a reduced predator performance and trophic interaction strength. Alternatively, if adaptations lead to a more efficient recycling of excess nutrients, this may re-enforce the limitation of the depleted element, and result in a positive evolutionary feedback. For this proposal we will make use of ‘evolved’ genotypes of the rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus that have been generated by a laboratory evolution experiment. Through the combination of common garden experiments and mathematical modeling, we will study (1) which are the traits through which the rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus adapts to stoichiometric imbalances in its food and (2) the consequences of such adaptations for elemental cycling, phytoplankton productivity and predator-prey interactions.
*Development of effective strategies for the conservation and development of landscape wide aquatic biodiversity in agricultural areas
Research project funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO; ALW-OBW/16; duration: 2012-2016; budget: 247,032 EURO); principal investigator: Steven Declerck
Freshwater habitats contribute disproportionately to biodiversity at the landscape scale and can be strongly affected and modified by land use changes. Through a field study and a thorough analysis of existing databases, the project will contribute to a better knowledge on the mechanisms that determine the dynamics of biodiversity in the landscape and the way this is affected by land use (agriculture, urbanization). In our study we will apply a metacommunity perspective by integrating local and landscape scale patterns of community structure and biodiversity. A major aim of the project is to find out which combination of cost-effective landscape measures do effectively contribute to an efficient conservation and development of aquatic biodiversity in human-dominated landscapes of The Netherlands.
*Towards a Sustainable Management of Pond Diversity at the Landscape Level
Research project of the Belgian Federal Science Policy Office (promotor: Koen Martens, R.B.I.N.S.).
This large scale project aims at revealing patterns of landscape biodiversity in a large number of small ponds, applying a spatially hierarchical sampling design. This project will yield insights in the spatial architecture of pond biodiversity at the nationwide level, which is a prerequisite for efficient conservation planning. In collaboration with other research groups, we study multiple groups of aquatic organisms simultaneously (including bacteria, phytoplankton, phytobenthos, zooplankton, macro-invertebrates, macrophytes, amphibians and fish), and seek to explain patterns of occurrence and diversity of these groups by landscape connectivity, the organisms' dispersal abilities, and natural and anthropogenic factors. In addition, an important work package of the PONDSCAPE project evaluates alternative pond management techniques via whole-pond experiments in the bomb crater area of Tommelen (Belgium). The project also forms the general framework for the PhD-project of Tom De Bie (supervisors: L. De Meester, L. Brendonck and S. Declerck).
* Development of a Sustainable Integration of Fish Farming and Nature Values in Protected Wetland Areas
TWOL-project of the Flemish Government, Belgium (supervisors: S. Declerck & L. De Meester; IWT PhD-project of Pieter Lemmens)
This project combines a socio-economic with an ecological analysis with the aim to reconcile fish farming with nature conservation. The project has a strong focus on the resolution of conflicts that arise from cormorant predation, eutrophication and the practice of fish stocking. An additional scientific aim of this project (funded by IWT-Vlaanderen) is to experimentally evaluate the direct and indirect effects of fish functional community composition and cormorant predation on aquatic food web structure, biodiversity and functioning.
