Summary

Observations from both the local and the high-redshift universe can be used to test the nature of dark matter. I will discuss several astrophysical probes (dwarf galaxy counts, Lyman-alpha forest, ..) and their constraining power on different dark matter scenarios (such as warm, mixed, and interacting dark matter).
