The highs and lows of fieldwork in Greenland
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.

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

Adapting to heat stress helps against heavy metals
Small aquatic organisms called rotifers have been found to also become tolerant to copper pollution after adapting to rising temperatures. Interestingly, the reverse is not true. An evolutionary experiment led by the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) shows this today in the journal Global Change Biology. ‘Understanding such long-term hereditary consequences of stress is crucial for informed environmental management and nature restoration.’

Wennen aan hittestress helpt tegen zwaar metaal
Kleine waterorganismen genaamd raderdiertjes blijken na hun aanpassing aan stijgende temperaturen ook beter bestand te zijn tegen kopervervuiling. Opvallend genoeg geldt dat andersom niet. Een evolutie-experiment geleid door het Nederlands Instituut voor Ecologie (NIOO-KNAW) laat dit vandaag zien in het tijdschrift Global Change Biology. “Inzicht in zulke erfelijke langetermijngevolgen van stress is cruciaal voor goed onderbouwd milieubeheer en natuurherstel.”

Micro-evolutionary adaptation to one stressor modifies the ability of organisms to cope with other stressors: working towards a literature synthesis
The aim of the proposed internship is to provide an as complete as possible literature overview of what is known about this topic for metazoans. You will also engage in trying to explore the possibilities for a meta-analysis. -

Expeditie NEXT 2026
Also in 2026, NIOO will be present at the national science festival for (thousands of) kids and their families. Will the giant soil animal maze be up and running again? That's where you go underground yourself... Will there be a new festival stand with surprises? Come join the festival and experience it!
