Daphnia magna bioassays to detect novel eco-toxicological effects of prioritary and emergent contaminants

Campos, Bruno (Date of defense: 2014-01-10)

There is increasing evidence that the presence of many emerging pollutants in aquatic ecosystems may have detrimental effects on aquatic biota. Of special concern are those emerging pollutants that may act as putative ...

Distribució i caracterització de les proteïnes espermàtiques bàsiques a peixos, agnats i procordats

Saperas Plana, Núria (Date of defense: 1992-12-17)

En aquest treball es caracteritzen les proteïnes espermàtiques bàsiques (PEB) que condensen el DNA de l'espermatozoide de diferents grups de deuteròstoms, tant procordats (tunicats o urocordats i cefalocordats) com vertebrats ...

Distribution and partitioning of organic pollutants and effects in coastal birds

Vicente de Bobes, Joana (Date of defense: 2013-11-14)

Coastal areas are very susceptible to contamination due to the interaction of marine and anthropogenic processes. Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are organic compounds very resistent to photolysis and chemical and ...

Optical propertiers of the dissolved organic matter as tracers of microbiological and geochemical processes in marine ecosystems

Romera Castillo, Cristina (Date of defense: 2011-10-07)

Oceans store 685 Pg of organic carbon of which 662 Pg are in a dissolved form. The diversity of compounds that make up the dissolved organic matter (DOM) pool and the low concentration of each compound make the chemical ...

Sediment dynamics and associated heavy metals in small river-and wave-dominated inner shelf (Barcelona city, Nw Mediterranean)

López Fernández, Laura (Date of defense: 2013-10-24)

Wave storms and river inputs have been found to be the dominant forcing mechanism of sediment transport in continental shelves dominated by medium to large rivers around the world (e.g. Drake and Cacchione, 1985; Sherwood ...
