  1. 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?

  2. Climate change impacts on harmful algal blooms

    Project 2022–Present
    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.

  3. Bewick’s swans choose wintering areas based on the weather

    Nieuws
    Bewick’s swans fly less far during their autumn migration when the weather is warm. Climate change has therefore led to a shift in their common wintering areas. Now, for the first time, bird researchers have been able to use long-term GPS data to pinpoint the specific choices that individual swans make.

  4. Kleine zwaan kiest overwintergebied zelf op basis van het weer

    Nieuws
    Kleine zwanen vliegen bij warm weer minder ver tijdens hun herfsttrek. Klimaatverandering heeft dan ook geleid tot een verschuiving van het wintergebied. Voor het eerst konden Nederlandse vogelonderzoekers de specifieke keuzes aanwijzen die individuele zwanen maken.

  9. Climate change could make cyanobacteria more toxic

    Persbericht
    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.

  10. Klimaatverandering kan blauwalgen giftiger maken

    Persbericht
    Dedmer van de Waal gaat met een Europese beurs onderzoeken wat de giftigheid van blauwalgen bepaalt, en of klimaatverandering het probleem verergert.
