Back to profile Projects - dr. WF (Pim) van Hooft Projects by WF van Hooft Genetic variation in natural populations and ecology at large, with a focus on African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) I am studying the population genetics of natural populations. Most of my own work focusses on the African buffalo (Syncerus caffer). Habitat disturbance and primate health Iris de Winter studies the effects of multiple ecological, behavioural and environmental determinants of parasite prevalence in a wild primate... Hybridization in geese Jente Ottenburghs studies the role of hybridization by means of adaptive introgression in the evolutionary history of goose species worldwide. Population genomics of wild boar Joost de Jong studies how genetic variation in Wild boar is affected by hybridization, habitat fragmentation and hunting, using molecular analysis of...
