Primary consumers grazzing pressure. over different phytoplankton species.
Zooplancton and Bivalves (eg Diplodon paralellopipedon), nutrients realease under different food concentration. Filtration rates calculation under different temperatures and food concentration. Laboratory experiments, Soledad Marroni PhD Thesis.
MAIN RESEARCH INTERESTS
Zooplankton resistence structures, particularly focused on ephippia from Cladocera. The main interests of this research line are the understanding of rsting eggs banks dynamics and the process goberning dormancy break and start and its ecological consequences, Miriam Gerhard, MSc Thesis.
Trophic interactions field experiments condcuted in different regions. Complementary use of stable isotope analysis to reconstruct trophic web strutures.
