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 ...

Ecology of the marine copepod genus Oithona

Zamora Terol, Sara (Date of defense: 2013-09-29)

Copepods have a crucial role in the pelagic marine ecosystem, for their participation in the nutrient cycling and carbon export in biogeochemical cycles, and their role as link organisms between primary producers and higher ...

Marine aerosols, their precursors and their influence on clouds over the global ocean

Lana Celaya, María Aránzazu (Date of defense: 2012-02-10)

Marine aerosols have a large potential to influence the Earth¿s climate through their effects on cloud properties. The CLAW hypothesis goes further, and suggests that marine aerosols formed by the sulphur cycle of the ocean ...

The diversity of dinoflagellates belonging to the gymnodiniales from the catalan coast (NW Mediterranean Sea)

Reñé Vicente, Albert (Date of defense: 2014-02-28)

Dinoflagellates are one of the most abundant and diverse groups of microalgae. Many dinoflagellates are covered with cellulose plates, whereas others lack these plates and are hence referred to as athecate or unarmoured. ...

Toxicogenomic analysis of environmental impact in aquatic systems

Navarro Cuenca, Anna (Date of defense: 2012-06-18)

Field biomonitoring based on molecular biomarkers detects early warning signals of stress suffered by organisms exposed to contamination. The lower part of the Ebro River basin has a long pollution history related to the ...
