The Ebro Delta represents the most important wetland area in Catalonia, the second most important in Spain (after Doñana National Park) and one of the most important estuarine zones in Europe. Although relatively recently ...
El límit altitudinal del bosc, o ecotò superior bosc-prat alpí, constitueix per definició, la frontera entre l'estatge subalpí i l'estatge alpí separant, per tant, sistemes ecològics adjacents. És una de les fronteres més ...
Los dinoflagelados del género <i>Dinophysis</i> producen potentes toxinas lipofílicas que se transmiten a través de los bivalvos filtradores a niveles superiores de la red trófica, y los convierten en no aptos para el ...
The annual dynamics of three different ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) ecotypes (amoA gene) and of the SAGMCG-1 (Nitrosotalea-like aquatic Thaumarchaeota) group (16S rRNA gene) were studied by newly designed specific primers ...
En la costa catalana s’ha observat la presència d’unes capes d’aigua properes al fons riques en clorofil•la a (HCNBL, de l’anglès High Chlorophyll Near Bottom Layer). Aquestes estructures productives principalment es ...
Two main purposes divided this Thesis into two parts, taking into account that the need of understanding current climatic fluctuations is still an important request of population living in the 21st century and the enormous ...
Changes in temperature and precipitation due to climate change are expected to increase stream water temperature and reduce their discharge. Consequently, more streams might face temporality, experiencing flow intermittency ...
The high variability in the recruitment of marine fishes is probably explained by small fluctuations in the mortality rates of early developmental stages. A popular proxy for the potential mortality of fish larvae is the ...
Climate change, along with other anthropogenic pressures (e.g. water pollution, overfishing and habitat degradation), is severely impacting oceans around the world, producing important changes in its physical and biological ...
The aim of this thesis was to describe the life history variability of the assemblage of crustacean zooplankton in Lake Redon, with special emphasis in their life-cycles, ecological characteristics and their trophic ...
El objetivo principal que se plantea en el presente trabajo es determinar la plasticidad del crecimiento radial del pino carrasco (Pinus halepensis Mill.) frente al clima. Más concretamente, evaluar el grado de adecuación ...
Aquest treball aborda l'ecologia de les comunitats d'un dels grups de macroinvertebrats bentònics més diversos i abundants dels nostres rius, els quironòmids. El principal objectiu d'aquesta tesi ha estat estudiar l'estructura ...
El delta del Ebro es uno de los más importantes de la Península Ibérica y del Mediterráneo. La bahía El Fangar, foco de este estudio, mide unos 12Km2, con valores de profundidad que varían entre los 0 y 8 metros. Presenta ...
Se estudian los quironómidos desde diferentes ángulos tanto su sistemática como algunos aspectos de su ecología en los embalses españoles. La tesis se divide en tres partes: dos de sistemática y una de ecología. En la ...
The Ebro Delta-Estuary complex is one of the largest wetland areas in the western Mediterranean, and it is considered one of the most important estuarine zones in Europe. In 2013, the Ebro watershed, including its deltaic ...
Marine ecosystems are declining worldwide threatened by an increasing number of stressors. Global change-related disturbances have highlighted the need of new complementary conservation measures; for which the knowledge ...
The effects of the main anthropogenic impacts in the fluvial ecosystem of the lower Ebro River are evaluated along the five chapters of the present thesis, using the benthic macroinvertebrate community as a bioindicator. ...
The main objective of this work has been to determine the structure of the macroinvertebrate communities in mediterranean rivers at different scales, organization and taxonomical levels. To achieve that, an appropriated ...
DE LA TESI:<br/><br/>Es realitza l'estudi dels efectes d'un incendi forestal sobre la fisicoquímica, l'hàbitat i les comunitats biològiques d'una riera mediterrània, riera de Gallifa, i la seva comparació amb una riera ...
Inland waters are active components of the global carbon (C) cycle that transform, store and outgas more than half of the C they receive from adjacent terrestrial ecosystems. However, fundamental uncertainties regarding ...
