  5. Postdoc: Effects of urbanisation on plant distributions

    Position
    For a KNAW funded project we are looking for a postdoc to execute a pilot project on the use of historical plant distribution data to investigate effects of urbanisation on plant species. Based on available plant occurrence records that go back for almost two centuries, what trends in species distributions can we detect in relation to urbanisation? This pilot study will be executed in collaboration with Stichting FLORON and the KNAW Meertens Institute, and is part of a project that includes analysis of Flora Batava records, which contain some of the oldest plant distribution data in the Netherlands.

  7. Flocks from Above: Studying Geese with Drones (MSc project)

    Internship
    In spring, brent and barnacle geese gather in the Wadden Sea to build up energy reserves for their migration to Arctic breeding grounds. Both share similar resources and rely on comparable habitats during this fuelling period. This overlap suggests that competition between them may play an important role. To understand potential consequences, it is essential, yet unexplored, to study how the species interact. As a first step, this project aims to examine flock composition, distribution, and dynamics of both species.

  8. Community-wide micro-evolutionary adaptation to anthropogenic stress: context dependency and ecological implications (COMADAPT)

    Project 2023–2027
    Considering rapid evolutionary responses is key to a better understanding of the long-term effects of stressors on natural systems. In this COMADAPT project we explicitly adopt a community-wide perspective.

  10. Arctic-bound birds can still keep up with climate change – for now

    Press release
    As climate change drives earlier spring conditions in the Arctic, birds species that travel there to breed there are under pressure to migrate faster. A new study led by researchers from the University of Amsterdam and the Netherlands Institute of Ecology reveals that many Arctic-breeding waterfowl still have some flexibility when it comes to speeding up their migrations. However, this strategy may only work for a limited time.
