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? -
How do nutrients and temperature affect cyanobacterial bloom toxicity?
Toxic cyanobacterial blooms threaten freshwater quality, made worse by climate change and eutrophication. The toxicity of these blooms depends not only on cyanobacteria quantity but also on the presence potentially toxin-producing species and genotypes, and their varied toxin production. -
How do nutrients and temperature affect cyanobacterial bloom toxicity?
Toxic cyanobacterial blooms threaten freshwater quality, made worse by climate change and eutrophication. The toxicity of these blooms depends not only on cyanobacteria quantity but also on the presence potentially toxin-producing species and genotypes, and their varied toxin production. -
Climate change impacts on harmful algal blooms
Harmful cyanobacterial blooms produce toxins that are a major threat to water quality and human health. Blooms increase with eutrophication and are expected to be amplified by climate change. Yet, we lack a mechanistic understanding on the toxicity of blooms, and their response to the complex interplay of multiple global change factors. Bloom toxicity is determined by a combination of mechanisms acting at different ecological scales, ranging from cyanobacterial biomass accumulation in the ecosystem, to the dominance of toxic species in the community, contribution of toxic genotypes in the population, and the amounts of toxins in cells. -
The pandemic and the 'anthropause': European lessons for water managers
The COVID-19 pandemic presented scientists with a unique opportunity to study the effects of an ‘anthropause’: an abrupt reduction of, and/or alteration in, human activities. -
De pandemie, de 'antropauze' en onze wateren: wat kunnen we ervan leren?
Een internationaal team onderzoekers onder leiding van Lisette De Senerpont Domis (NIOO-KNAW) keek wat de lessen zijn van de 'antropauze' voor het beheer van onze wateren. -
NIOO Thema Biodiversiteit
Het NIOO doet op alle niveaus onderzoek aan de biodiversiteit. Kleine en grote organismen, van genetische diversiteit tot de diversiteit van soorten en zowel op het land als in het water. Met de uitkomsten van ons onderzoek kunnen we de biodiversiteit in Nederland en daarbuiten beter beschermen. -
Climate change could make cyanobacteria more toxic
Climate change could result in more toxic cyanobacteria. But what determines their toxicity? Dedmer van de Waal has won a major European grant to find out. -
Klimaatverandering kan blauwalgen giftiger maken
Dedmer van de Waal gaat met een Europese beurs onderzoeken wat de giftigheid van blauwalgen bepaalt, en of klimaatverandering het probleem verergert. -
NIOO Theme Biodiversity
In order to protect, or restore biodiversity, it is crucial to consider all forms of life within their entire context. The strength of NIOO-based research is that it integrates all of the different levels and scales that make up biodiversity, from genetic diversity to species diversity, from small to large organisms, from trophic interactions to communities and ecosystems, and in a wide range of terrestrial and aquatic habitats. Therefore, NIOO is in the right position to make a substantial and scientifically important contribution to the societal goal of the SDGs.
