Does roadside management in the mid-west USA increase invertebrate diversity similar to practices in Europe?

The thesis describes terrestrial field trials aimed to detect side-effects of pesticides within the framework of pesticide registration procedures. Field trials were developed using vascular plants Brassica napus and Poa annua, caterpillars Pieris brassicae and effects on decomposition were studied…

Binnen het brede netwerk van de Universiteit Leiden neemt het instituut deel aan onderzoek binnen de volgende profileringsgebieden:

Novel entities may pose risks to humans and the environment. The small particle size and relatively large surface area of micro- and nanoparticles (MNPs) make them capable of adsorbing other novel entities, leading to the formation of aggregated contamination.

Mapping the neural mechanisms underlying social motivations of adolescents and adults

Sound is everywhere in the marine environment and hearing is therefore a very important for stimuli for fish. They use sound for orientation and communication, during migration, aggregation and spawning, but also for detection of prey and predators.

This dissertation consists of two parts, each of which considers a different research area related to random interval maps. In the first part we are interested in random interval maps that are critically intermittent.

Hoe worden nachtruimtes verbeeld, geproduceerd, ervaren en verteld door migrantengemeenschappen in Europa? Dit onderzoeksproject onderzoekt deze vraag in acht Europese steden: Aarhus, Amsterdam, Berlijn, Cork, Galway, Lissabon, Londen en Rotterdam.

How soil microbial composition impacts structure and composition of the aboveground plant and animal communities?

Can we develop a platform for raw materials intelligence?

The parabolic Anderson model (PAM), which is the Cauchy problem for the heat equation with random potential. The PAM is a mathematical model that describes how mass (i.e. matter or energy) flows in a medium in the presence of a field of sources and sinks.

Aspergillus niger is an important industrial producer of organic acids and enzymes producing large amounts of spent fungal biomass.

Het Europa Instituut van de Universiteit Leiden is één van de oudste academische instellingen gespecialiseerd in het recht van de Europese Unie en het Europees Verdrag inzake de Rechten van de Mens.

This interdisciplinary study focuses on (trans)national ethnic and popular networks, combining historical-ethnographic and computational methods to understand the ‘workings’ of networked conflict interfering in the increasingly violent conflict in the Sahel (Africa) and beyond. The project focuses on…

Indonesische verkiezingen zijn meer dan godsdienststrijd en het kopen van stemmen, betoogt hoogleraar David Henley.

Op de Wetenschapsmiddag 2019 ontvingen bachelorstudenten hun certificaat voor het Honours Research Bachelor Project (HRBP) en de Honours Lectures. Daarnaast presenteerden de HRBP deelnemers en de research masterstudenten hun allernieuwste onderzoek met posterpresentaties vol interactie en discussie…

We have studied shape with a particular focus on the zebrafish model system. The shape is an essential appearance of the phenotype of a biological specimen and it can be used to read out a current state or response or to study gene expression.

In the Schouwburgstraat, LUGO is currently redesigning the back-garden in order to increase biodiversity and make it a more beautiful space. Throughout October 2023 until March 2024, we will be making changes to the garden with our team of volunteers.

The coursework within the Science Communication and Society (SCS) specialisation prepares students for internships and a career in communication about science and health.

Plants and their pollinators form complex interaction networks. Within these networks, species differ widely in the number of species they interact with.

Exploring linkages between energy and material use and implications for sustainable development.

Al het onderzoek van de Universiteit Leiden is georganiseerd in instituten. Om recht te doen aan de veelkleurigheid van het onderzoek (en dus ook aan het onderwijs) dat daar uit voortvloeit vindt u op deze pagina’s omschrijvingen van alle Leidse instituten.

This project investigates the rich linguistic history of the crucial language groups in East Africa and includes a search for words that indicate earlier lost languages. These outcomes, combined with recent archaeological and genetic research, will contribute to a new understanding of East Africa’s…

Een van de moeilijkste wetenschappelijke vragen is waar taal vandaan komt. Wanneer en hoe is dat complexe systeem tot stand gekomen? En hoe kan het dat elk kind het kan leren? Wetenschappers hebben dat nog steeds niet helemaal opgehelderd. Fenna Poletiek blogt over het steentje dat zij bijdraagt met…
