Prioritizing conservation and restoration targets for freshwater biodiversity in Flanders KU Leuven
Riverine biodiversity is deteriorating rapidly as a result of multiple interacting anthropogenic pressures. Freshwater species are subject to physico-chemical pollution originating from various sources (e.g. agriculture, industries, households), hydro-morphological alterations (e.g. construction of dams, river calibration), and the introduction of invasive species (e.g. topmouth gudgeon, Chinese mitten crab, round goby in Flanders). ...

MoMarSce: Scenarios of marine population connectivity and adaptation for coastal zone management KU Leuven
Global change measurably influences the evolution of marine populations. We hypothesize that impact varies according to the spatio-temporal distribution of the drivers influencing diversity. To assess the impact we combine existing and new information on connectivity, population size and fitness (life history traits) of marine larvae and juveniles into an existing bio-physical model of flatfish larvae. It will be complemented with an adaptive ...
Flower rich field margins and functional agrobiodiversity Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
How can useful organisms present in the agricultural ecosystem be stimulated and engaged in an ecological farming system? The focus in this empirical research is on biological plague control using natural enemies. The agricultural ecosystem contains several organisms that could support crop production. Some of these “ecosystem services” are wild (bumble)bees that can pollinate crops, soil ...
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 ...
Shaping ecosystem based fisheries management Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
SEAwise aims to provide a fully operational approach for European Ecosystem Based Fisheries Management (EBFM) by addressing four specific objectives: (1) build an EBFM network of stakeholders, advisory bodies, decision makers and scientists, (2) assemble a new knowledge base of European fisheries interactions with social and ecological systems, (3) develop predictive models to evaluate, select ...
