Adapting to heat stress helps against heavy metals
Small aquatic organisms called rotifers have been found to also become tolerant to copper pollution after adapting to rising temperatures. Interestingly, the reverse is not true. An evolutionary experiment led by the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) shows this today in the journal Global Change Biology. ‘Understanding such long-term hereditary consequences of stress is crucial for informed environmental management and nature restoration.’

Micro-evolutionary adaptation to one stressor modifies the ability of organisms to cope with other stressors: working towards a literature synthesis
The aim of the proposed internship is to provide an as complete as possible literature overview of what is known about this topic for metazoans. You will also engage in trying to explore the possibilities for a meta-analysis. -
Expeditie NEXT 2026
Also in 2026, NIOO will be present at the national science festival for (thousands of) kids and their families. Will the giant soil animal maze be up and running again? That's where you go underground yourself... Will there be a new festival stand with surprises? Come join the festival and experience it!

A day in the life of a (citizen) scientist
What does a day as a researcher look like? That greatly depends on what kind of researcher you are. While some are working in greenhouses, and others are programming behind a laptop to process results, it looks different still when a researcher works with citizen scientists. I got to join Rosan van Halsema's fieldwork for her PhD for a day to experience what such a day looks like.

Exposition: 70 years of ecology
Welcome to this exposition full of stories and highlights of seventy years of ecology at NIOO-KNAW. Take a look and find out how research methods have changed over time, from punch cards to online databases and from spending hours counting microscopic entities to getting help from artificial intelligence.
