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. -
Early birds of the future: earlier, but still too late?
How much earlier can great tits lay their eggs to keep up with climate change? A team from the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) took a sneak peek into the birds’ future. -
Vroege vogels van de toekomst zijn niet vroeg genoeg
Bij koolmezen blijkt er duidelijk een grens te zitten aan hun vermogen om zich aan klimaatverandering aan te passen. Op korte termijn nóg vroeger eieren leggen: dat gaat niet lukken. Zulke informatie over voorbeeldsoorten is noodzakelijk om de klimaatgevolgen voor de natuur goed te kunnen voorspellen. -
Hoe de wintervlinder zich zo snel aanpast aan klimaatverandering
De wintervlinder past zich sneller dan de meeste soorten aan klimaatverandering aan. Natalie van Dis onderzocht in haar promotie-onderzoek welke genetische en andere factoren daarbij een rol spelen. -
Beleef de Lente (4): Velden
Beleef de Lente biedt een unieke kijk op het wel en wee van vogels tijdens hun broedseizoen. Ook de mezen doen weer mee. -
Promotie Melanie Lindner: vogelvoortplanting in een opwarmende wereld
Op donderdag 8 december verdedigt Melanie Lindner (Animal Ecology) haar proefschrift met de titel 'Avian seasonal reproduction in times of global warming: Insights from evolution, ecology and (epi-)genomics'. -
