Conservation ecology of the threatened damselfly Lestes macrostigma: an integrated life cycle approach KU Leuven
Insects are the fastest declining group of species and among the most threatened by anthropogenic activities. However, they are largely overlooked in conservation policies and conservation research. Wetlands have greatly declined over the last centuries and continue to face important threats, impacting all sectors of biodiversity, including insects. Odonates (damselflies and dragonflies) are valuable indicators of wetlands’ conservation ...
Sabbatical Luc Brendonck: Ecology, evolution, conservation and ecotoxicology of temporary aquatic systems KU Leuven
During my research sabbatical I will collaborate with expert teams in Spain (UV and CSIC) and South Africa (NWU). As part of ongoing projects I will jointly study topics that belong to the core of my research portfolio. With teams at CSIC and NWU I will study the ecology of temporary wetlands by combined field work and experimental approaches. With the CSIC team I will focus on the ongoing impact of climate change on abiotic and biotic ...
Development and maintenance of the European Marine Observation and Data Network – Former Lot No 6 - Biology Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
EMODNET (in full: European Marine Observation and Data Network) has the task of studying the seas and unlocking the data according to international standards, for researchers, governments and private companies. These data are often characterized by their limited size in space and time, i.e., they are frequently fragmented into small datasets for certain types of groups or habitats. In phase IV of the EMODNET ...
European Marine Observation and Data Network- Biology IV Flanders Marine Institute
Operation, development and maintenance of a European Marine Observation and Data Network, lot Biology Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
This project is about making marine data more available. ILVO, as the Belgian partner in EMODNET, is placing its historical ecological marine data on the Belgian part of the North Sea, no less than 100,000 data records, on the official European web portal. This makes them available for consultation and data mining. EMODNET (in full: European Marine Observation and Data Network) has the task of studying the ...
European Marine Observation and Data Network- Biology Lot 3 Flanders Marine Institute
European Marine Observation and data Network: Lot Biology Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
Steps are being taken by the European commission to establish a European marine observation and data network. This network should facilitate the access to high quality marine data for researchers, governments and private companies. The network aims to encompass hydrological, geological, chemical and biological data. These data are usually characterised by limited spatial and temporal coverage, ...
