Student research

Topics for potential bachelor projects

  • Beschrijf nieuwe soorten Leotia (Fungi, Ascomycota)
  • Laboulbeniales op arthropoden: vergelijken van gastheergroepen en entomologische technieken
  • Schimmelparasieten op invasieve lieveheersbeestjes in ruimte en tijd
  • Interacties in een verborgen microkosmos: mieren, mierengasten en fungale ectoparasieten
  • Laboulbeniales-zwammen op insectencollecties

Topics for potential master projects

  • Abiotic factors influencing the presence and prevalence of parasitic microfungi on an invasive ladybird
  • Environmental preferences of Laboulbeniales microfungi obligately associated with insects
  • Revision of sequenced fungarium specimens of Lactifluus: morphology, analysis of amplicon sequence data, and linkage to ecology
  • Composition of bacterial biofilms on insect-associated Laboulbeniomycetes fungi
  • Fungal conservation: from database records to prioritization

Current master projects

  • The Funga from Honduras (Ruben Vanhoomissen)
  • A survey of ant nest-associated microorganisms in Belgium and The Netherlands (Koen Martens)
  • Disentangling species in the genus Laboulbenia (Fungi, Ascomycota) using molecular phylogenetic data (Warre Van Caenegem)
  • Diversity and species delimitation in Arthrorhynchus (Aimée Blondelle)
  • A fungal monitoring project in Honduras: community ecology and taxonomy (Libelje Mortier)
