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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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)

Plant and Ecosystems (PLECO) - Ecology in a time of change University of Antwerp

Responsible
The research group of Plant and Vegetation Ecology (PLECO) has an extensive and long-standing experience with the study of a wide range of subdisciplines in the domain of ecology, in particular the ecology of plants and vegetations. The continuum of different spatial scales is being bridged, ranging from the individual plant, over populations and plant communities (vegetations) to entire landscapes and regions. The present research (and ...

AMPHIBIAN EVOLUTION LAB (Prof. Franky Bossuyt) http://www.amphibia.be ABSTRACT: Research centers around the use of molecular phylogenetics to elucidate evolutionary patterns, and the processes that produce them, in amphibians. We are trying to understand the relationship between tempo and mode of evolution in relation to biogeography, speciation and morphological diversification. Our research also integrates this phylogenetic background with ...

Forest Ecology and - Management Research Institute for Nature and Forest

The team Forest Ecology and Management studies natural processes and interactions in forest ecosystems, and the effects of forest management hereupon. Emphasis is on long-term research and monitoring. Also scientific advisory work on forest policy and management (e.g. on conservation status and management of Natura2000 forest habitats) makes up an important part of the task.

Main topics of the long-term research are:

  • the ...

Species Diversity Research Institute for Nature and Forest

The Species Diversity team investigates the state and trends of populations of species in a regional (Flanders), national (Belgium) and international context with a view to the conservation and management of biodiversity. To this end, it charts the biotic and abiotic habitat requirements of species, interactions between species, and the impact of human activities on species in order to explain the observed trends. The methods used include ...
