  5. Tiny root hairs, big impact

    News
    Scientists have discovered how a beneficial bacterium helps plants cope with drought. The finding reveals a previously unknown biological pathway and could support future efforts to develop more resilient crops.

  7. PhD position: exposing the contribution of epialleles to heritable variation in plants

    Position
    How important is epigenetic variation for rapid adaptation in wild plant populations? This genomics-focused PhD project at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology in Wageningen investigates genetic, epigenetic and gene expression differences between apomictic dandelion plants, to uncover the role of natural epialleles in driving heritable trait differences.

  8. Breaking up of swan families in winter disrupts spring migration

    News
    Young Bewick's swans only survive their first spring migration if they stay with their parents long enough. If they lose their parents in winter, they leave later and are unable to keep up with the rest of the population. As a result, there is a greater chance that they will die in their first year of life. This is shown in new research by biologists from the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) and the UvA, together with American and German colleagues, which was published on 20 August 20 in the journal Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology.

  9. Van Dis group

    Research in the Van Dis Group focuses on understanding population responses to rapid environmental change so that we can predict when and how populations can persist. We are particularly interested in the role that evolution will play to bend the curve of ongoing biodiversity losses. Our projects aim to identify drivers and constraints that determine the rate of adaptation, by assessing population adaptive potential of different species and by leveraging unique long-term ecological datasets to test for realized genetic change over time.
