The number of offshore wind farms is increasing rapidly, leading to questions about the environmental impact such farms. In Netherlands, an extensive monitoring programme being executed at first farm (Offshore Windfarm Egmond aan Zee, OWEZ). This letter compiles short-term (two years) results on a large faunal groups obtained so far. Impacts were expected from new hard substratum, moving rotor blades, possible underwater noise and exclusion fisheries. indicate no effects benthos in sandy...
Soils are extremely rich in biodiversity, and soil organisms play pivotal roles supporting terrestrial life, but the role that individual plants plant communities influencing diversity functioning of food webs remains highly debated. Plants, as primary producers providers resources to web, vital importance for composition, structure, communities. However, whether natural completely open immigration emigration differ underneath unknown. In a biodiversity restoration experiment we first...
Abstract Climate change is currently one of the main driving forces behind changes in species distributions, and understanding mechanisms that underpin macroecological patterns necessary for a more predictive science. Warming sea water temperatures are expected to drive ectothermic marine ranges due their thermal tolerance levels. Here, we develop mechanistic tool predict size‐ season‐specific distributions based on physiology temperature food conditions sea. The effects climate...

Abstract Brunel, T., Piet, G. J., van Hal, R., and Röckmann, C. 2010. Performance of harvest control rules in a variable environment. – ICES Journal Marine Science, 67: 1051–1062. Population dynamic models used for fisheries management assume that stocks are isolated entities, ignoring the influence environmental factors on stock productivity. An operating model parameterized North Sea cod, plaice, herring is developed, which link between recruitment environment assumed to be known described...
For the seaward harbour extension of Port Rotterdam in Netherlands, approximately 220 million m3 sand was extracted between 2009 and 2013. In order to decrease surface area direct impact, authorities permitted deep extraction, down 20 m below seabed. Biological physical impacts large-scale extraction are still being investigated largely unknown. this reason, we colonization demersal fish a site. Two sandbars were artificially created by selective dredging, copying naturally occurring...
Abstract European eel, Anguilla anguilla L., migrating to the sea encounter many man‐made structures that can hamper and delay migration or induce mortality. Studying small‐scale behavioural movements in front of these could provide insight further mitigating adverse effects. The behaviour eel approaching a trash rack large pumping station was investigated using dual‐frequency identification sonar (DIDSON). Eels swam through (40.5%) but also showed turning at (44.7%) (14.7%). had varying...

Abstract European eel, Anguilla anguilla (L.), migrating to sea encounter many man‐made structures that can hamper and delay migration or induce mortality. Three pumping stations in Friesland, the Netherlands, were covered with acoustic receivers. Ninety‐three silver eels tagged transmitters released polders upstream of 89% detected passing a station. The majority passed within day after arriving at Four stayed for longer than 2 weeks before passage, 18 receiver downstream station more one...
