  1. Constructing a literature-based species interaction network of the forest

    Internship
    Beechnuts, the seeds of European beech (Fagus sylvatica), are an essential food resource for a variety of species in the forest, such as wild boar (Sus scrofa), rodents and several bird species. Beeches vary however strongly in their reproductive output between years, a process called masting, leading to pulsed resource dynamics that affect the demographics of these dependent species. In the literature, these effects are well described for individual species and simple trophic chains, but the more complex interaction network of species is yet understudied.

  3. Does north-south adaptation of animals also protect against climate change?

    Nieuws
    ‘Can animal populations adapt to climate change by becoming genetically similar to more southerly populations?’ That is the question posed by ecologist Natalie van Dis. Knowledge about this could indicate which populations are most at risk from the changing climate. She has been awarded a Veni grant from NWO to investigate this at NIOO over the next three years.

  7. The highs and lows of fieldwork in Greenland

    Blog
    As part of the CLIMET consortium (Climate feedbacks and methane cycling in Arctic lakes: enzymes to atmosphere), researchers from the NIOO-KNAW have been in West Greenland investigating methane cycling in Arctic lakes. The aim of this first field visit was to assess variability in lake conditions and microbial composition across the low arctic landscape of Kangerlussuaq.

  8. Helpt noord-zuid aanpassing van dieren ook bij klimaatverandering?

    Nieuws
    "Kunnen dierenpopulaties zich aanpassen aan klimaatverandering door genetisch te gaan lijken op zuidelijkere populaties?" Die vraag stelt ecoloog Natalie van Dis zich. Kennis hierover kan duiden welke populaties het meest gevaar lopen door het veranderende klimaat. Zij krijgt daar nu een Veni-beurs voor van NWO om dat de komende drie jaar bij het NIOO uit te zoeken.

  9. Postdoctoral researcher: avian microbiomes and reproduction (vacature in het Engels)

    Position
    We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to join our team working on avian reproductive microbiomes at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) in the group of Dr. Melissah Rowe. The postdoc will work on an ERC-funded project where the overarching aim is to understand the significance of reproductive microbiomes for host biology and fitness. Starting date is flexible, preferably between November 2025 – January 2026.
