the dous projects lideraof the from IIM
the group Biosistemas and Enxeñería of Bioprocesos (bio2eng), conxuntamente with group of Reciclaxe and Valorización of Residuos (REVAL), lidera the project “Xemelgos dixitais for the hixienización of procesos of the food industry”. the seus researchers principais are Míriam Rodríguez García and Xosé Antón Vázquez Álvarez. the seu aim é the design of xemelgos dixitais, é dicir, representations virtuais nun computador, of the procesos of saneamento in the food industry for a control en liña of the food safety, mesmo canof the se dean cambios inesperaof the by exemplo in the calidade of the water or in the type of alimento that quere lavarse, sanearse or depurarse. For iso expóñense a series of desenvolvementos teóricos and experimentais orientaof the the entender the dinámicas of desinfección dentro of distintos procesos of saneamento, and the its simulación and optimización eficiente. the metodoloxía validarase en dous procesos representativos of the food industry: the desinfección of the water for the depuración of bivalves and the desinfección during the lavaof the of froitas and verduras. Conta with the participation of the depuradora of molluscs Asmecruz and Florette Ibérica, S.L.
the group Ecoloxía and Resources Marine lidera the project “Comportamento animal and conservation of marine resources in the interface social-spatial: the caso of the elasmobranchs costeiros”. the researcher lead é David Villegas Ríos. the seu aim é estudar the variation of comportamento social and spatial en populations salvaxes of fish and explore the this information pode promote the conservation of the populations of fish. Empregaranse the caso of estuof the the elasmobranchs costeiros, a of the grupos of vertebraof the en greater perigo of extinción and that desempeñan functions fundamentais for manter ecosystems saudables. In addition, the sharks and the rays teñen a rica viof the social, the that the converte en excelentes models for explore the sociabilidade in the medio natural. Mediante the seguimento of various individuals of varias especies modelo en múltiples escalas espaciais and temporais, prevese proporcionar information without precedentes on the grao of variation individual in the comportamento of the populations naturais of fish and the its relevancia for the ecoloxía of the conservation the various niveis, from interaccións sociais the pequein the escala, the estratexias of movemento the longo prazo. Conta with the participation of the University of Lancaster (Kingdom Unido) and the Institute of Marine Research of Norway.
Outros seis projects in CSIC en Galicia
the three projects lideraof the from the MBG (Pontevedra)
the group Xenética and Ecoloxía Forestal lidera of the project “Avaliación multidimensional of ensaios xenéticos mediante techniques of fenotipaof the massive for the comprensión of the plasticidade adaptativa en piñeiros mediterráneos”. Ten the researchers principais the Luis Sampedro Pérez and Rafael Zas Arregui. the seu aim general é delve in the estuof the of the diferenzas between populations en plasticidade phenotypic en piñeiros ibéricos, and en the esa capacidade of ser plásticos and responder the cambios environmental could axudar á survival of the nosas masas forestais in the contexto of the actual crise climática. For iso, levará the cabo a fenotipaof the massive nunha network of ensaios xenéticos forestais of three especies of piñeiros ibéricos (Pinus silvestris, P. halepensis and P. pinaster) empreganof the techniques dendrocronolóxicas and with sensores aerotransportaof the (drons). Conta with the participation of the University of Lleiof the and of the iCIFOR-INIA, and the collaboration of the Centre of Research and Technology Agroalimentaria of Aragón (CITA), British Columbia Forest Service (Canadá) and of the University of Alberta (Canadá).
the group Xenética and Mellora of Millo lidera the project “Mellora of millo for calidade and tolerancia the estreses asociaof the to the climate change”. the researcher lead é Pedro Revilla Temiño. the seu lead aim é producir new knowledges and variedades melloraof the combinanof the the mellora of the millo for lograr tolerancia á tensión and calidade. This aim divídese, á its vez, en three objectives específicos with thes their correspondentes tarefas: premejora, mellora of the millo for thatxa tolerante á tensión abiótica and mellora of the calidade of the alimentos. Conta with the participation of Centre of Research Agrarias of Mabegonof the (Axencia Galician dá Calidade Alimentaria). in the team of work figuran the University of Alcalá, the Servizo Técniwith Insular of Tenerife (Cabilof the Insular of Tenerife), the University of Vigo and the universidades of Manitoba (Canadá), Cornell (EE.UU) and Wisconsin (EE.UU).
the group Ecoloxía Evolutionary of the Interaccións Planta-Herbívoro lidera the project “Efectos of insularidade on interaccións planta-herbívoro: desentrañanof the the rol of factores bióticos and abióticos subxacentes for improve the conservation of the biodiversity”. the researcher lead é Xoaquín Moreira Tomé. the seu aim general é acometer the estuof the more robusto until the duntil of the efectos of the insularidade on the interaccións planta-herbívoro the escalas rexional and global, facenof the use dunha robusta metodoloxía and design experimental. For iso, realizaranse estuof the observacionais and experimentais debidamente replicaof the en sistemas insulares and the seus contrapartes continentais situaof the en different partes of the planeta, incluínof the toof the the continentes excepto the Antártida. Conta with the participation of varias institutions estranxeiras the University of California (EE.UU.), the University of Neuchâtel (Suíza), and the University Autónoma of Iucatán (México).
the three projects of the Centre Oceanográfiwith of Vigo (IEO-CSIC)
the group Contaminación Marine lidera the project “the materia orgánica the reguladora of the biodispoñibilidade and the comportamento of the metais (Fe, Co, Cu, Pb) en áreas costeiras nun escenario of global change”. the researchers principais are Paula Sánchez Marín and Juan Santos Echeandía. the seu aim é evaluate the papel of the materia orgánica in the transporte of metais disoltos and particulaof the in the Ría of Vigo, and in the its influencia in the especiación of the metais and the its biodispoñibilidade for the fitoplancto. Centrarase mainly in the estuof the of metais esenciais (ferro, cobalto and cobre), necesarios for the crecemento of the fitoplancto, and of metais tóxicos (chumbo and cobre – this último é tanto esencial the tóxico, dependenof the of the its concentración), that poden ter efectos daniños nestes organisms. Conta with the participation of the University of Vigo.
Also ese group lidera the project “Impact of the contaminación in the bioextracción of the ostra: solución baseaof the in the natureza for the lagoa of the Sea Menor”. Ten the researchers principais the Juan Bellas Bereijo and Marine Albentosa Verdú. With this project, evaluatease the impact of the contaminación in the capacidade of depuración of the ostra plana, a initiative that expón the a solución baseaof the in the natureza for the restauración of ecosystems degradaof the and that terá the lagoa of the Sea Menor the caso of estuof the the avaliación, tanto en laboratory the en sea, centrarase en coñecer the capacidade of extracción of nutrientes of the ostra plain the en conditions eutróficas, and the efecto of the contaminación on the its capacidade of extracción of nutrientes and on the its capacidade of bioacumulación of pollutants. Conta with the participation of the universidades of the Country Vaswith and the Coruña and with the collaboration of the ICM-CSIC, the University of Dalhousie (Canadá), Fisheries and Oceans, the asociación ecoloxista ANSE and the Native Oyster Restoration Alliance (NORA).
the grupos “Ecoloxía Global and Pesqueiras” and “Methods en Ecoloxía and Avaliación of Resources Marine Vivos” lideran “FRom single stock assESsment to eCOystem-based fishery management”. Tiene the researchers principais the Grazia Penniin the and Santiago Cerviño López. Co project, búscase reduce the brecha existente between the models tradicionais of avaliación of populations of fish that basean en caof the species of forma individualizaof the and the models baseaof the in the ecosystems, that teñen en conta the procesos físicos, biolóxicos and the interaccións humanas, for xestionar the fishing of maneira integral.
