معرفی
Frederik De Laender is a Professor at the University of Namur's Research Unit in Environmental and Evolutionary Biology, part of the Institute of Life-Earth-Environment. He holds a Doctor of Science from Ghent University (Universiteit van Gent), specializing in predicting chemical effects on freshwater ecosystems. His research focuses on ecological dynamics, biodiversity, and environmental change impacts, particularly in aquatic systems, ant symbiont communities, and global stressor interactions.
His work spans over 117 research outputs, with a strong emphasis on ecosystem stability, species coexistence, and stressor responses. Notable contributions include studies on ant-symbiont networks, climate change effects, and the interplay between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. He actively supervises students and leads projects like 'Predicting effects of temperature and pollution' and 'The influence of acclimation on phytoplankton systems.'
De Laender collaborates internationally, contributing to datasets on food web stability and stressor impacts. His laboratories and teams address environmental challenges through interdisciplinary approaches, integrating modeling and experimental ecology. His findings are frequently cited in high-impact journals like Science Advances and Communications Biology.
