Risk spreading strategies and color polymorphism in an Australian rock pool frog along a sub continental climate gradient. KU Leuven
In this dissertation, we investigated life history variation in different stages of the anuran life cycle in a spatio-environmental context. Overall the thesis included a multi scale and multi life stage assessment of life history variation in frogs in response to gradients of environmental harshness and time stress in particular. For this, a range of different information sources is exploited in a Belgian and an Australian model species. ...

Halosydne: sustainable and cost efficient production of marine microalgae for aquaculture Ghent University
This project is aimed at identifying scientifically based production, processing and conservation protocols in order to produce microalgae for aquaculture in a sustainable and cost efficient way. To this end, we analyse the pigment composition using high performance liquid chromatography of microalgae grown by the project partner.
