Seasonal timing
Species can adapt over the course of time. As the lives of species are altered by climate change, a different seasonal timing could make them adapt to an early spring, for example. How does this work, and what are the limits to such adaptations? -
National Biology Olympiad visits NIOO
The annual Biology Olympiad will visit the NIOO again. Students will learn this Thursday afternoon from our researcher Kees van Oers (Animal ecology) about animal personalities. And afterwards, they will be tested on this subject... -
Finalisten Biologie Olympiade bij het NIOO
De jaarlijkse nationale Biologie Olympiade bezoekt het NIOO weer! De finalisten zullen deze donderdagmiddag een hoop leren over persoonlijkheden bij dieren, van onze onderzoeker Kees van Oers (Afdeling Dierecologie). -
Stadsmezen hebben een stabieler ritme
Onderzoekers van het NIOO-KNAW onderzochten de timing van het broedgedrag en de dag-en-nachtritmiek van koolmezen binnen en buiten de stad. Stadsmezen blijken stabieler. -
Is boslandbouw de oplossing voor het Amazonegebied?
In het Amazonegebied moet veel bos plaatsmaken voor landbouw. Bij boslandbouw gaan gewassen samen met bomen en dieren. Is dat inderdaad een duurzaam alternatief - ook voor de bodem, vragen Eiko Kuramae en Márcio Leite in Global Change Biology. -

BioClock
Our night sky is heavily light-polluted which has a far-reaching impact on our ecosystem, changing daily and seasonal timing of a multitude of organisms we share our environment with. At the NIOO-KNAW, we team up with ecologists and chronobiologists all across the Netherlands to restore healthy rhythms for ourselves and in our natural environment. -
