We have studied the impact of particle shape anisotropy, multivalent interactions and flexibility on systems of micron-sized colloidal particles.

This ecological community has long been known to affect host biology, and their diverse roles have been further clarified in recent years following numerous studies of animal:microbiota interactions in diverse systems.

We find ourselves in an era of transition, not just towards a more computing- and data-driven society but also away from unsustainable fossil fuels as an energy source.

A management strategy has been developed for field margins to reduce pesticide drift to non-target areas and to promote biodiversity on arable land. To this end, 3 and 6 m wide strips along the edges of winter wheat, sugar beet and potato crops have been left unsprayed with herbicides and insecticides…

What is the effect of light at night on plant phenology and physiology, and how does this affect plant interactions with other species?

There is concern about the threat that nanoplastics (NPs) may pose to both wildlife and humans. This thesis explores the mechanisms of toxicity of polystyrene nanoparticles (PS-NPs) in chicken embryo.

Postcolonial Displacements onderzoekt de verschillende manieren waarop migratie in Zuid-Azië bijdraagt aan het verbeelden, ondermijnen, herdefiniëren en ter discussie stellen van territoria, naties en gemeenschappen. Het project richt zich op de betwiste randgebieden van het politiek verdeelde Zuid-Aziatische…

This thesis describes the role of pollution, specifically neonicotinoid insecticides, as an actor of the ongoing biodiversity decline.

How are links between macro-invertebrate diversity and ecosystem functioning influenced by anthropogenic pressures?

Can we distinguish the effects of pesticides from other abiotic and biotic factors that occur in the field? And how do these factors interact with pesticides?

In dit artikel onderzochten Martin Sievert en Jonas Bruder of en hoe administratieve lasten van invloed zijn op de perceptie van burgers van het welzijnsbeleid en hun houding tegenover uitkeringsgerechtigden.

Anthropogenic noise has been shown to affect marine animals in various ways, this may have fitness consequences at individual and population level. This thesis aims to increase insight into the quantification of sound-induced behavioural responses that are relevant to fitness, and into factors that…

The effects of anthropogenic noise on interactions between predators and their prey are still little understood.

This thesis combines field and laboratory studies to address some of the most pressing questions in the field of microplastic research.

In deze publicatie onderzochten May Tamimova en Tahir Abbas de bestaande literatuur over geweld en haat tegen gebedshuizen.
