Research
There are two main research groups within the Section of Ecology, which are similar except for the main working environment. One is devoted to the study of freshwater and marine ecosystems, while the other works mainnly on terrestrial systems.
Both groups have a long and productive history. We invite you to follow the different links in order to obtain more information about the research and output of each of them.
If you are assessing the posibility of starting a research carrer and you are interested in the same topics as us, you could also explore the links on panel at your right.
Aquatic Systems Ecology
Research lines
• Biological Oceanography. Focused on the study of the flux of energy and materials on pelagic ecosystems, as well as the effects exerted upon by mesoscale features. Ecophysiology is another focus within this line, including both crustaceans and gelatinous organisms.
• Ecology of Coastal Ecosystems. Focused on disentangling the processes responsible of ecosystem organization, and of the patterns abundance and distribution of species. Both biological interactions (including invasive species) as well as variation and changes in the environment are considered in this effort.
• Evolutionary Ecology of Aquatic Vertebrates. Focused on intra and interspecific variabiliry in morphological, behavioral and physiological traits which affect biological fitness, and which thus have evolutionary significance. The preferred study organisms are fishes (mainly Salmonids) and amphibians.
Ricardo Anadón (ranadon@uniovi.es) is group coordinator. You can find more information through the website of the research group Aquatic Systems Ecology.
Evolutionary and Conservation Ecology
Research lines
• Evolutionary Ecology of Plant Life Cycles. Evolution of reproductive costs and of the differentiation of life cycle stages.
• Ecological and Evolutionary Effects of Plant-Animal Interactions: seed dispersal, pollinization and herbivory.
• Conservation Biology for Populations in Fragmented Landscapes.
José Ramón Obeso (jrobeso@uniovi.es) is the group coordinator. You can find more information through the Evolutionary and Conservation Ecology research group website.
