Seed rain: reproductive strategies during secondary succession in wet tropical forest
MSc thesis During secondary succession after land abandonment in the wet tropics the vegetation recovers rapidly. Local forest recovery is determined by many factors but availability of seeds is crucial. This is largely determi ...

Reproductive strategies of tropical tree species
MSc thesis / MSc internship / BSc thesis / BSc internship Tropical forests harbor a tremendous diversity of trees, which are able to coexist because of differences in their life history strategies. Tree species are engaged in a ...

Does shade tolerance explain the distribution of wet and dry tropical tree species?
MSc thesis / MSc internship / BSc thesis / BSc internship Species distribution is determined by environmental filters that can determine what species can occur where. Shade and drought are thought to be the two most important e ...

Effects of climatic variability on tropical tree populations. How to scale up from tree growth to population viability?
MSc thesis Tree-ring analyses of tropical tree species have shown that years with low rainfall and high temperatures reduce stem growth and may also increase mortality. Climate change will likely increase the frequency and sev ...

Analysing citizen science data on water quality
The citizen science initiative 'Waterdiertjes.nl' collects data from citizens on (biological) water quality. The initiative now runs for several years and this offers to analyse patterns over multiple years. Various questions co ...

How do nutrients and temperature affect cyanobacterial bloom toxicity
Project Focus 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 potentiall ...

Deciphering the origin of hormone signalling pathways: a synthetic approach to auxin biology in plants
Hormone signalling allows organisms to regulate their physiology. Each hormone triggers multiple and complex, context-dependent responses that evolved from simpler pathways. An unanswered question is what functions were initially ...

The ins and outs of auxin signalling in bryophytes
Auxin is a crucial hormone that controls almost every aspect of plant development. My research focusses on studying the nuclear auxin signaling pathway in evolutionary conserved bryophytes, such as Marchantia polymorpha and Physco ...

Microfluidic force spectroscopy of protein droplets on DNA
Transcription factors (TFs) are proteins that can boost or suppress the expression of genes by binding to DNA. How they achieve this remains a mystery: what happens to the DNA when TFs bind to it? It has recently been discovered t ...

Investigating the evolution of plant development in the fern Ceratopteris
Research on plant development and their molecular regulation has long focussed on the classical model plants Arabidopsis and recently also bryophyte species like Marchantia. To complement our knowledge, we are incorporating the fe ...
