Resilience of ecosystem characteristics in the presence of environmental stress: a study on the relative importance of ecological and evolutionary adaptations. KU Leuven
The
global aim of my PhD research project is to acquire insight into the relative
importance of evolutionary and ecological dynamics and how they affect the
stability of ecosystems, using zooplankton and the water flea Daphnia magna as a model system. Using
replicated field ...

EU relations with the Global South - EU Development Policy Ghent University
The project will contribute to the ongoing research on the EU’s relations with the so-called ‘Global South’, with a particular focus on EU development policy. The project will engage in critical research on EU development policy, building on an already established research agenda on change and continuity in EU development policy. Drawing on the literatures on paradigm change and post-development, this agenda proposed four key questions for ...

Macroalgae-microbiome interactions: testing the holobiont concept in a changing environment Ghent University
The marine world is a microbial one. Unseen, but nevertheless present in vast numbers in seawater, microbes colonize a range of eukaryotic organisms, such as seaweeds, corals and sponges. They may be small in size, but they have a huge impact on the functioning of these hosts. Together the host and associated microbiome are often thought to form a holobiont: a functional unit that is based on a symbiotic relation. When studying the effects of ...
