The Vrolik Museum is the Amsterdam anatomical museum, and originates from the private collection of Gerard Vrolik (1775-1859) and his son Willem (1801-1863). Over the years the attitude towards anatomical specimens has changed and the museum changed along with it. Since 1984 the museum has been located in the Amsterdam Academic Medical Centre. It is closed at the moment until May 2012 for refurbishment and is receiving a facelift. Not only will the permanent exhibitions be expanded, new displays about the history of the museum and its collectors will be added. After the refurbishment the museum hopes to reach the general public more than has been possible in the past.

Various modelling techniques are available to understand the temporal and spatial variations of the phenology of species. Scientists often rely on correlative models, which establish a statistical relationship between a response variable (such as species abundance or presence-absence) and a set of predominantly abiotic covariates. The choice of the modeling approach, i.

Priapulida is a small phylum of 22 described species that are divided into two size classes (microscopic and macroscopic), distinguished by adult and larval morphology. Most priapulidans are rare or live in inaccessible habitats, and freshly collected material for molecular studies is difficult to obtain. With this study, we for the first time aim to resolve the phylogeny of extant Priapulida using transcriptomic, genomic, and morphological data.

Early life telomere length is thought to influence and predict an individual's fitness. It has been shown to vary significantly in early life compared to adulthood. Investigating the factors influencing telomere length in young individuals is therefore of particular interest, especially as the relative importance of heredity compared to post-natal conditions remains largely uncertain.
