• Dormancy in stochastic interacting systems Research output

  Organisms often need to adapt more efficiently and devise new strategies for surviving difficult ecological circumstances.

• Group benefits from genomic instability: a tale of antibiotic warriors in Streptomyces Research output

  Streptomyces are filamentous bacteria that produce more than two-thirds of known antibiotics.

• Tail Regeneration in the Tokay Gecko (Gekko gecko) Research output

  Regeneration is the ability of an organism to restore damaged or lost tissue with a functional replacement, and without scarring. Many lizards can regenerate their tails.

• Synthetic biology and genomics platform for new-to-nature bioactive peptides Research project

  Can the venom of snakes, scorpions and other animals be sources of new antibiotics?

• Comparative wood anatomy and evolution of Apocynaceae and Sapotaceae Research output

  In my research, I used a comparative wood anatomical approach to address wood evolution of the (largely) tropical flowering plant families Apocynaceae and Sapotaceae.

• Soil legacy effects on aboveground plant-insect interactions Research output

  In this thesis, the role of plant-mediated soil legacy effects in shaping aboveground plant-insect interactions was investigated.

• Music production and its role in coalition signaling during foraging contexts in a hunter-gatherer society Research output

  For the first time, a group of international and interdisciplinary researchers led by Karline Janmaat and her former MSc Student Chirag Chittar, have tested the several hypotheses on music simultaneously in a modern foraging society during their daily search for tubers – their staple food. They found…

• Revealing the nature of new low-frequency radio source populations Research output

  It has now been well established that shocks and turbulent motions in the intra-cluster medium (ICM) generated through cluster mergers can produce large-scale synchrotron emission.

• Real-time foresight: preparedness for dynamic innovation networks Research output

  Promotor: H.J. van den Herik, B.R. Katzy, Co-promotor: K. Sailer

• The evolution and plasticity of life histories upon variation in nutrition: on aging focused integrative approach Research output

  Promotores: Prof.dr. P.M. Brakefield, Prof.dr. B.J. Zwaan (Wageningen Universiteit)

• Comparative genomics of the balanced lethal system in Triturus newts Research output

  All crested and marbled newts (the genus Triturus) suffer from an unusual genetic abnormality, called a balanced lethal system, that kills exactly half of their offspring. How can a trait so disadvantageous have survived millions of years of natural selection?

• Neanderthals and modern humans Research project

  This project focuses on the study of Neanderthal and early modern human behavior, primarily on the basis of stone tools, fauna and spatial patterns

• Multi-Objective Bayesian Global Optimization for Continuous Problems and Applications Research output

  A common method to solve expensive function evaluation problem is using Bayesian Global Optimization, instead of Evolutionary Algorithms.

• Barbarism Revisited: New Perspectives on an Old Concept Research output

  The figure of the barbarian has captivated the Western imagination from Greek antiquity to the present. Since the 1990s, the rhetoric of civilization versus barbarism has taken center stage in Western political rhetoric and the media. But how can the longevity and popularity of this opposition be accounted…

• Adaptive responses to environmental changes in Lake Victoria cichlids Research output

  Promotor: Prof.dr. M.K. Richardson, Co-Promotor: F. Witte

• Clues from stellar catastrophes Research output

  Promotores: S.F. Portegies Zwart, E. M. Rossi

• Bioactive Molecules in Animal Sciences Animal Sciences

  Animal Sciences’ contribution to the Bioactive Molecules research theme includes research on molecules from natural sources, such as plants, insects, and snake venom, with the aim to identify novel anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and anti-diabetic agents.

• How Terror Evolves: The Emergence and Spread of Terrorist Techniques Research output

  This book contextualizes the use of terror as part of wider movements of political contention, demonstrating that terroristic innovation occurs as part of wider historical processes rather than in a vacuum.

• The endocannabinoid system in zebrafish larvae Research output

  In this thesis, we have studied the potential of the zebrafish larval model in studying the ECS, as a complementary model to the existing rodent models.

• Development & Disease in Animal Sciences Animal Sciences

  Animal Sciences’ contributions to the Development & Disease research theme include the mechanisms and evolution of embryonic development, the development of cognitive mechanisms, and animal models for understanding mechanisms of human disease.

• Secret Intelligence and Public Diplomacy in the Ukraine War Research output

  In this article, Thomas Maguire, Assistant Professor at the Institute of Security and Global Affairs, examines why states use intelligence to influence external audiences.

• The Palaeoproteomic Identification of Pleistocene Hominin Skeletal Remains: Research output

  Towards a Biological Understanding of the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic Transition

• The distribution of stellar mass in galaxy clusters over cosmic time Research output

  Promotor: Prof.dr. K.H. Kuijken, Co-Promotor: Dr. H.Hoekstra

• Behavioral implications of Neandertal energetics Research project

  Recent studies of Neandertal body mass and skin surface indicate raised energetic requirements in this lineage compared to anatomically modern humans.

• Developmental effects of polystyrene nanoparticles in the chicken embryo Research output

  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.

• Quantitative biology of polar auxin transport and plant development Research project

  The availability of complete plant genome sequences together with the ever increasing amount of data on the molecular, cellular and physiological mechanisms of plant development require mathematical and computational models to obtain a complete overview of and generate new insights into the quantitative…

The research subject is Industrial Ecology in its broadest definition, covering environmental systems analysis, and incorporating the social and economic aspects…

• Knowledge Extraction from Archives of Natural History Collections Research output

  Natural history collections provide invaluable sources for researchers with different disciplinary backgrounds, aspiring to study the geographical distribution of flora and fauna across the globe as well as other evolutionary processes.

• Evolution and development of flowers, fruits and inflorescences of Phalaenopsis and other orchid species Research output

  The study of orchid flowers, fruits, and inflorescences is crucial due to the remarkable diversity of orchid species and their unique adaptations to pollinators and seed dispersers. However, our understanding of the evolution and development of these organs within the orchid family remains limited.

• Zebrafish embryos and larvae as a complementary model for behavioural research Research output

  Promotor: Prof.dr. M.K. Richardson
