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. -

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. -
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). -
Greenfluencer 2022: stem op Louise Vet
Een van de kandidaten voor Greenfluencer 2022 is oud-NIOO directeur Louise Vet. Je kunt nu op haar stemmen. -
“Stikstofdiscussie mist nog belangrijke groep”
Boeren en kabinet zijn niet de enige partijen in de stikstofdiscussie, zegt directeur Geert de Snoo van het NIOO. Hij wil breder kijken, mét het rapport van bemiddelaar Johan Remkes in de hand. -
