Department of Animal Sciences and Aquatic Ecology Ghent University

Responsible
Research, education, and services to society in relation to the various contributions of animals to human wellbeing (including the sustainable production of healthy food) and the evaluation of anthropogenic influence on the environment (in relation to its optimal and sustainable use)

Evolutionary ecology group (EVECO) University of Antwerp

Responsible
The Evolutionary Biology Group has two main lines of research: A) Evolutionary processes that affect biodiversity. The evolutionary relationships between different taxonomic units are studied through the analysis of morphological and molecular variation. Together with data on geographic distributions in time and space, hypotheses about diversification (speciation) and their implications for conservation and biodiversity are formulated. The ...

Environmental Ecology & Applied Microbiology (ENdEMIC) University of Antwerp

Responsible
Lab of Environmental and Urban Ecology - Roeland Samson As human population keeps on growing, pressure on land increases throughout the world. Urbanization is, therefore, a logical consequence, but brings about its own problem as it concentrates many different polluting activities, thereby negatively influencing human health but also having negative impacts on animals and plants. Simultaneously, the urban environment, or the urban ecosystem, ...

Behavioural Ecology & Ecophysiology University of Antwerp

Responsible
The main research interest of the research group Behavioural Ecology & Ecophysiology is the study of the causes and consequences of variation in behavioural traits among individuals. Most studies are carried out within an ethological framework, focusing on all four major aspects of animal behaviour: causation, development, function and evolution. We use an integrative and multidisciplinary approach to study reproduction and sexual selection ...

Raes Lab Flanders Institute for Biotechnology

Responsible
Large-scale sequencing, cohort studies, microbiology and synthetic ecology with computational approaches to investigate the functioning and variability of the human microbiome and study its alteration and modulation in disease.

Entomology Institute of Tropical Medicine

The research portfolio of the Unit of Entomology is fully in line with three “ITM Priority Research Themes 2020-2024 ”: Challenge 1: Emerging infections and outbreaks; Challenge 3. Disease Elimination; and Challenge 5. Sustaining health in a rapidly changing world.

Introduction

The Unit of Entomology, led by Prof Ruth Müller, aims to better understand the relationships between biodiversity, ...

Bioengineering Technology, Group T Leuven Campus KU Leuven

The unit studies the role and ecology of microbial communities and members thereof in diverse natural and man-made environments or processes to better understand and manage these processes. A major focus is on plant-microbe-insect interactions and plant-microbe interactions.

Forest, Nature and Landscape KU Leuven

Responsible

Overall, the research carried out in this laboratory focuses on the spatial and quantitative assessment of biological and man-induced patterns and processes at the landscape and habitat level both in rural, urban and natural settings. We aim at coupling traditional research on forestry, landscape elements, land use, and biotic communities with earth observation, spatial data sciences, the statistical modeling environment, and planning tools. ...
