North Sea noise in the Anthropocene: an impact study of human-made impulsive sounds on free-ranging cod
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.

Contributions to the phylogeny of the haplolepideous mosses
The haplolepideous mosses (Dicranidae) comprise about 4000 species distributed over a wide range of habitats, with great gametophytic and sporophytic morphological variation. Their monophyly is well supported by the results of several molecular phylogenetic studies, which shed light on their relationships…

Modelling the role of mycorrhizal associations in soil carbon cycling: insights from global analyses of mycorrhizal vegetation
In this PhD study, I aim to deepen our understanding of the influence of major mycorrhizal types, namely arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) and ectomycorrhizae (EM), on the global soil carbon cycle and their potential distribution changes under future environmental shifts.

The flexible listener: exploring zebra finch sensitivity to spectral and temporal sound features
Human vocal communication and music perception represent advanced cognitive skills, seemingly innate and universal. These faculties encompass a range of perceptual and cognitive abilities. Cross-species research sheds light on the origins of musicality by investigating whether these traits are shared…

Nanodeeltjes en licht gaan de strijd aan met kanker
De Leidse promovendus Xuequan Zhou heeft een veelbelovend nieuw molecuul ontworpen dat effectief kankercellen kan bestrijden zonder hierbij ook de gezonde cellen aan te tasten. De truc: het medicijn wordt pas actief als je het bestraalt met licht. Zhou’s nieuwe molecuul is extra efficiënt, aangezien…

Phenotypic plasticity and genetic adaptation of plant functional traits on global scales
In light of climate change, it is crucial to determine whether plant species can adapt to future climates to avoid extinction. Plants adapt to various conditions by altering their functional traits, such as leaf size or photosynthetic rate. Some traits appear linked and vary together between species,…
