Abstract

Spatial and environmental gradients covary with human activities and their effect on the biota. The project will use an eco-evolutionary approach at different levels to disentangle the role of the different actors affecting biodiversity across a seminatural-rural-urban gradient. Our role is to take care of the data and analyses on bdelloid rotifers.

Goals

The project will address the role of human intervention at different spatial scales and at different levels of the biological scale, from molecules to communities and ecosystems.
