Bivalves living in large aggregations of individuals (reefs or beds), such as mussels, clams, cockles and some high trophic predators such as sea stars, play an essential ecological role in the structure, integrity, ...
Payo Payo, Ana (Date of defense: 2017-04-28)
The overarching aim of my thesis was to assess the role of environmental variability and specially of perturbations in the population dynamics of social vertebrates. Our results emphasize the need to collect individual, ...

ARCIMBOLDO is an ab initio phasing method for macromolecular crystallographic X-ray diffraction data, which combines location of model fragments such as polyalanine α- helices with the program PHASER and density modification ...
Candotti, Michela (Date of defense: 2016-12-09)
This work aims to analytically understand the impact of two diametric opposite environments on protein structure and dynamics and compared them to the most common solvent on earth: water. The first environment is a popular ...
Leiva Dueñas, Carmen (Date of defense: 2021-03-05)
Coastal ecosystems, especially the vegetated areas, are among the most threatened ecosystems in the world, undergoing a fast and constant decline. Their losses are of serious concern due to their elevated production, ...
Valdivieso Muñoz, Alejandro (Date of defense: 2020-03-05)
In many organisms, sex is determined by a combination of genetic and environmental influences. Epigenetic regulatory mechanisms such as DNA methylation integrate both types of influences. However, understanding how genetic ...
