    Tilves Matheu, Uxue (Date of defense: 2019-05-16)

    Jellyfish are important components of marine ecosystems, being a key link between lower and higher trophic levels. Jellyfish blooms occur sporadically and unpredictably in coastal areas and often have important socio-economic ...

    Biological rhythms in the Norway lobster (Nephrops Norvegicus L.) : Ecological modulation and genetic basis = Ritmos biológicos en la cigala (Nephrops norvegicus L.) : modulación ecológica y bases genéticas 

    Sbragaglia, Valerio (Date of defense: 2015-07-20)

    Nephrops norvegicus is an important fishery resource for Europe. Its rhythmic burrowing behavior is strictly related to catchability. Here I studied such behavior under laboratory conditions. I investigated the combined ...
