Climate change adaptation options for Mediterranean irrigated croplands
Introduction In the Mediterranean region, intensive agriculture is usually associated with irrigation due to the mismatch between the rain season and the growing season, and the strong inter-annual variability of rainfall. Clim ...

Micronutrient acquisition in extreme environments: the sodic soils of the Neusiedler See (AT)
Sodic soils are extreme environments with very high pH values (> 9) and salt concentrations, creating a niche for organisms that can survive under such conditions. The availability of cationic micronutrients like Fe, Cu, Zn and Mn ...

Evolutionary aspects of strategic alliances
This is a proposal for a research assignment for one or two students with evolutionary interest, probably biologists but possibly with one of them from another discipline but interested in modelling. In evolutionary theory, one ...

Biological Aerobic Methane Oxidation in Drinking Water Production
Background Ground water is one of the sources for drinking water production in the Netherlands. It usually contains diluted methane, which must be removed before the distribution of the drinking water to the final consumers. Th ...

Contaminant concentrations in landfill pore water: changes during stimulated degradation
Landfills pose a large threat to the human health & environment (HHE), both through gaseous emissions and through the release of contaminant-rich leachate to the underlying soil. Traditionally landfills are sealed to restrict thes ...

Conservation Behaviour: Wetland bird behaviour and community structure along the Nile in Egypt
The wetlands along the Nile provide a prime case to study human-wildlife conflicts and human settlements and bird habitats are confined to the small linear habitat along the Nile. The thesis will be embedded in large interdiscipli ...

Individual increment functions for douglas fir
Kroondomein Het Loo (a large forest estate near Apeldoorn) and the FEM group recently established two marteloscopes in douglas fir stands. Marteloscopes are forests especially designed for doing exercises in forest management. All ...

Anatomical traits regulate cavitation resistance in conifer tree species
Conifers (co-)dominate in many forests in different climates across the temperate zone, with some species better adapted to cold or dry habitats than others. Their wood anatomical traits (i.e., extremely narrow tracheid size and ...

Animal Cooperation: Why do birds help each other?
In some birds species individuals forego own reproduction in order to help others in raising their offspring. Since evolutionary theory predicts selfish behaviour, how can we explain such seemingly selfless behaviour? We catch and ...

Do helpers-at-the-nest reduce the chance of cuckoo parasitism?
One commonly proposed benefit of group living of birds is that individuals in groups are better to prevent cuckoos laying an egg in their nest. However, direct study and evidence of this hypothesis is rare. In Eswatini, we study a ...
