  6. The value of long-term studies

    News
    It can take years to notice the effects of changes in nature. Long-term research is therefore essential. If there are far fewer great tits or winter moths in a year, is that an exception or a new trend due to climate change? The long haul needed to measure this year-on-year is a big challenge. The National Institute for Ecological Research NIOO-KNAW, which celebrates its 70th anniversary this month, does this kind of research. What does it teach us?

  8. Linkages between soil fauna and soil carbon cycling

    Internship
    A wide range of organisms live in soils, where they support carbon and nutrient cycling. Although a higher diversity of soil organisms is generally associated with better soil functioning, the direct role of soil fauna in regulating soil carbon cycling is still unclear. This is especially important considering that global changes are disproportionately affecting larger fauna and predators, which could destabilize soil food webs.

  9. Migrating starlings are no copycats

    Press release
    Young, naïve starlings are looking for their wintering grounds independently of experienced conspecifics. Starlings are highly social birds throughout the year, but this does not mean that they copy the migration route from each other. By revisiting a classic ‘displacement’ experiment and by adding new data, a team of researchers at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) and the Swiss Ornithological Institute (Vogelwarte Sempach) have settled a long-lasting debate. Their findings are now published in the scientific journal Biology Letters.
