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. -
Symposium: is de scholekster nog te redden?
Het gaat slecht met de scholekster in Nederland. Vergeleken met andere weidevogels heeft de scholekster nog veel meer problemen, en maakt daarom zeker kans op de titel nationale pechvogel. Waarom gaan de aantallen voor deze vogel zo achteruit? En kunnen we dit tij nog keren? Op zaterdag 29 oktober organiseert de Vogelbescherming en Sovon Vogelonderzoek Nederland een symposium met de meest recente inzichten. -
Save the chicks to save the population
To understand and halt the decline of oystercatchers in the Netherlands, spatiotemporal variation and its causes must be taken into account. Magali Frauendorf defended her PhD thesis on the topic in Nijmegen on 14 September. -
Red de kuikens, red de populatie
Om de achteruitgang van de scholekster in Nederland te stuiten, kun je het beste zorgen dat meer kuikens het overleven nadat ze uit het ei zijn gekomen. Dat kan met beheermaatregelen die zijn gericht op de invloed van de mens. -

A living, breathing building
As sustainable as possible, in as many respects as possible: that was the imperative when the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) commissioned a new building. And we have done it!
