Supervised by Wilco Verberk
Most of my research focusses on effects of temperature and oxygen, sometimes in interaction with other factors (food availability, day length). Below I have listed students that have completed a topic under my supervision, which can be used to get an overview of the range and breadth of topics that I supervise. If you are interested in working on a topic similar to the ones indicated below, contact me to discuss the possibilities for supervision.
