AMPHIBIAN EVOLUTION LAB (Prof. Franky Bossuyt) http://www.amphibia.be ABSTRACT: Research centers around the use of molecular phylogenetics to elucidate evolutionary patterns, and the processes that produce them, in amphibians. We are trying to understand the relationship between tempo and mode of evolution in relation to biogeography, speciation and morphological diversification. Our research also integrates this phylogenetic background with ...

Ecotoxicology and Polar Ecology Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The ETOX unit is mainly developing research in the domains of ecotoxicology of polar marine ecosystems (Antarctica, Greenland Sea, Barents Sea), mainly for the higher trophic levels (seabirds, marine mammals). The concentration, transfer, accumulation and detoxification mechanisms of stable pollutants (organochlorine pesticides, total and organic mercury) are investigated. The ecotoxicology of terrestrial ecosystems is also studied (stable ...

Forest Ecology and - Management Research Institute for Nature and Forest
The team Forest Ecology and Management studies natural processes and interactions in forest ecosystems, and the effects of forest management hereupon. Emphasis is on long-term research and monitoring. Also scientific advisory work on forest policy and management (e.g. on conservation status and management of Natura2000 forest habitats) makes up an important part of the task.
Main topics of the long-term research are:
- the ...
Human Ecology Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The ongoing research is concentrated in the fields of: 1. Interdisciplinary instruments for environmental management including Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) (e.g. evaluation of EIA procedures and Environmental Impact Statements (EISs), development of EIA guidelines and recommendations for good practice, strategic environmental assessment (SEA), SEA and sustainable urban development); 2. Environmental Health (mainly related to ...
