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.

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…

Anthropogenic noise negatively affects wildlife in a wide range of taxonomic groups.

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.

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

The role of the interfacial environment during electrochemical reactions has been increasingly valued, especially for those reactions involving protons or hydroxyl ions.

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

A complex community of microbes develops in the infant gut shortly after birth. We call this community the infant gut microbiota. The microbiota influences the health of the infant, which makes the composition and function of the infant gut microbiota an important topic to study.

Dit onderzoek toont hoe internationale organisaties reageerden op humanitaire en mensenrechtenuitdagingen tijdens de COVID-19-pandemie.

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.

Songbirds as vocal learners learn their songs and song preference from social tutors⁠. Tutor choice for both song and preference learning are important to characterize for understanding individual learning performance and cultural transmission of song⁠.

Jaroslaw Kantorowicz and Rok Spruk onderzoeken de bijdrage van institutionele hervormingen aan economische groei.

Dit artikel onderzoekt aanmoediging door leiderschap en psychologische veiligheid als antecedenten van prosociaal regelovertredend gedrag (PSRB).

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.

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

Ice, the solid state of water, plays an important role on our planet as well as the entire universe.Despite the fact that an individual water molecule has a very simple structure, its chemical bonding in the solid phase can be surprisingly complex.

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

This article examines how immigration from Central and Eastern Europe influences political support for Eurosceptic parties.

Green hydrogen is produced via a process called water electrolysis. During electrolysis water is split into oxygen and hydrogen.

Dr. Helen Pluut heeft een artikel gepubliceerd in het gerenommeerde tijdschrift Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes (OBHDP). Dit in samenwerking met Remus Ilies (National University of Singapore), Petru Curşeu (Open Universiteit en Babeş-Bolyai University) en Yukun Liu (University of…

This thesis explores interfacial conductance and electric field-effects in LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterostructures.

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

In dit onderzoek wordt hersenontwikkeling voor het eerst direct gelinkt aan sekseverschillen en schoolprestatie. De resultaten ontkrachten de mythe dat jongens achterlopen in hersenontwikkeling.

Leids onderzoek naar bestraffing komt tot stand uit verschillende disciplines. Het onderzoeksproject kent een juridische, criminologische, sociaalwetenschappelijke en filosofische invalshoek.

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…

The overall objectives of my thesis are to investigate the dynamics of the sorghum root microbiome and to explore the beneficial effects of the root microbiome on sorghum growth and stress tolerance.

Glucocorticoids are potent anti-inflammatory drugs widely used clinically to treat various inflammatory and immune conditions. However, two main clinical problems limit their use. GCs trigger severe side effects and they induce acquired glucocorticoid resistance, especially during chronic systemic treatment…

Inside-Out Prison Exchange is een onderwijsprogramma waarin studenten en gedetineerden samenwerken aan onderzoeksvragen op het gebied van criminaliteit, rechtshandhaving en significante sociale thema’s. Het onderwijs vindt plaats op een unieke locatie: binnen de muren van de gevangenis.

Glucocorticoids (GCs) are widely prescribed as anti-inflammatory drugs due to their well-established immunosuppressive effects.
