Plankton Ecology Lab
GRUPO DE INVESTIGACIÓN EN ECOLOGÍA Y REHABILITACIÓN DE SISTEMAS ACUÁTICOS
MAIN RESEARCH INTERESTS
Zooplankton resistence structures, particularly focused on ephippia from Cladocera. The main interests of this research line are the understanding of resting 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.
Natan Gilherme dos Santos, MSc Thesis
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.
