Biography

Robby Stoks is a full professor at KU Leuven in the Department of Biology. His research focuses on the interplay between ecological and evolutionary processes, particularly in relation to stress responses in aquatic organisms. Stoks has made significant contributions to the field of ecological and evolutionary ecotoxicology, exploring how environmental changes impact biodiversity and species interactions. He leads various research projects investigating pesticide tolerance and the genetic mechanisms underlying stress responses in organisms such as Daphnia magna. His work often integrates concepts from evolutionary biology with ecophysiology to understand how organisms cope with rapid environmental changes. Through his research, Stoks aims to elucidate the complexities of ecological interactions and the adaptations that species develop in changing habitats, contributing valuable insights to conservation biology and ecosystem management.
