Flocks from Above: Studying Geese with Drones (MSc project, vacature in het Engels)
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. -

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

Arctic-bound birds can still keep up with climate change – for now
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. -
Trekvogels versnellen naar de Noordpool, maar de klok tikt door
Door klimaatverandering begint de lente in het noordpoolgebied steeds eerder in het jaar. Hierdoor staan trekvogels onder druk hun voorjaarsmigratie naar het noorden te versnellen om te voorkomen dat ze te laat aankomen op hun broedplaatsen. Uit een nieuwe studie, geleid door onderzoekers van de UvA en het Nederlands Instituut voor Ecologie (NIOO-KNAW), komt naar voren dat veel Arctische watervogels sneller kunnen migreren. Ze blijken in staat de tijd te verkorten die ze besteden aan het rusten en bijtanken tijdens de reis of aan het opvetten voorafgaand aan vertrek. Maar die strategie werkt waarschijnlijk alleen tijdelijk, waarschuwen de onderzoekers. -
