(Bio)monitoring of pharmaceuticals in the Mediterranean aquatic environment and interactive effect with microplastics. Insights from field and laboratory studies

Castaño-Ortiz, Jose Maria (Date of defense: 2024-12-16)

ENG- Pharmaceuticals have been broadly detected in aquatic systems, including rivers, lakes, and coastal areas. Their widespread occurrence and accumulation in aquatic organisms have raised concerns about their ecotoxicological ...

Biofilm responses to flow intermittency in Mediterranean rivers

Colls Lozano, Miriam (Date of defense: 2020-07-31)

Currently, global change is promoting the spatiotemporal occurrence of temporary streams, altering fluvial ecosystem function and structure, and the ecosystem services they provide. To effectively protect fluvial ecosystems, ...

Flow alteration and wastewater inputs effects on freshwater communities in Mediterranean rivers

Mor Roy, Jordi-René (Date of defense: 2019-09-19)

Mediterranean rivers are characterized by high hydrological variability and heterogeneity of habitats, placing themselves amongst arid and temperate climates, and are associated with high biological diversity. On the ...

Multiple stressor effects on river biofilm communities: from community composition to ecosystem processes using experimental mesocosms

Romero Blanch, Ferran (Date of defense: 2019-12-20)

Human exploitation of river ecosystems, together with the increasing pressure that represents climate change, is posing rivers worldwide at risk. In rivers, microorganisms are ecologically very important. Most of ...
