  2. From stress to success: rapid evolution as a survival strategy against environmental stressors

    Blog PhD in progress
    When you think of evolution, you probably think of Darwin, timescales of millions of years and dinosaurs. But there is also rapid evolution, microevolution, a way in which organisms can quickly adapt to changes in their environment. This is becoming increasingly important for the survival of species, in view of climate change and other human disturbances in ecosystems.

  4. Shining a light on nature – the importance of darkness

    News
    Since 2012, the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) has been conducting research into the effect of artificial light at night on our natural environment. For this research – Light on Nature – streetlights have been installed at four locations in the Veluwe and one location in Drenthe. Since then, they have been lit year-round from sunset to sunrise. Various institutes, universities and organisations are using these streetlights to measure the effects on different species groups.

  10. 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.
