This thesis shows how the metals of natural and anthropic origin change significantly the composition of the prokaryotic communities (mainly the composition of bacteria). The β-diversity is the most ...
We sampled the macrofaunal metacommunities in four networks of Mediterranean temporary ponds covering a wide range of pond sizes and different spatial extents. 1) In the smallest pond network, pond size ...
The synergy between climate change and biological invasions presents a significant threat to ecosystems worldwide. In the Mediterranean Sea, the proliferation of invasive species has surged since the ...
Biogas is a highly recognized alternative to fossil fuels towards a sustainable energy production. Massive use of biogas depends on the removal of contaminants that may affect performance of processing ...
Fresh waters are among the most biodiverse ecosystems globally but, at the same time, also the most threatened. Serious threats to freshwater ecosystems are, for example, habitat alteration, invasive ...
Pyrenean headwater streams are singular ecosystems with a particular seasonal pattern. They sustain a unique biodiversity especially sensitive to environmental change. Because of this, their ecosystem ...
Small pelagic fish play an important ecological role mainly due to their contribution in transferring energy from low to higher trophic levels. Likewise, the capture of these species is in many cases ...
During the last years, there has been an increase in the number and intensity of disturbances, and their consequences related with global change, which have corroborated the already forecasted scenarios. ...
Inland waters are amongst the most diverse and impacted ecosystems globally, and they host many endangered taxa. Cyprinodontiforms are at the forefront of endangered freshwater fishes in Europe, with ...
ENG- Centuries of human activity have degraded Earth’s ecosystems. In response, ecological restoration has been increasingly practised to reverse this decline by re-establishing fully healthy, self-sustaining ...
