Research Group in Zoology - ZOORECERC

Reference of the Group:

GIUV2013-019

 
Description of research activity:

The research activity of the ZOORECERC group is confined to three main lines of research: Entomology, Hydrobiology and Malacology. The Entomology line develops its work in three other sub-lines: the study of the arthropod pests and its biological control in any environment, various aspects of the faunistic of dipteran, odonatan and hymenopteran insects, and arthropods of veterinary-medical interest, the latter in collaboration with the CEU Cardenal Herrera (Moncada, Valencia). The Hydrobiology line mainly studies the interaction between aquatic organisms and the surrounding abiotic and biotic environmental factors (aquatic ecology), although it also develops research for the improvement of commercial aquaculture. Finally, the Malacology line deploys its research on molluscs, both living and fossil, also including the study of remains found in archaeological contexts.

Research lines:
  • Hydrobiology.1) Study of aquatic ecology based on the interaction between organisms and their abiotic and biotic environ-ments. 2) Improvement of species husbandry and management practices, with the development of new emerging crops, technologies for sustainable food production and economic resources in the field of commercial aquaculture.
  • Malacology.Study of molluscs from different aspects: diversity, systematics, phylogeny, morphology, ecology, conservation, parasitic disease vectors, invasive and/or pest molluscs, palaeontology and archaeozoology
  • Entomology.(1) Biological control of pest arthropods by natural enemies in agricultural, forest and urban environments. (2) Diversity, systematics, phylogeny, morphology, ecology and conservation of dipteran, odonatan and hymenopteran. (3) Study of arthropods of medical and veterinary interest, with emphasis on Diptera belonging to the families Culicidae, Simuliidae, Ceratopogonidae and Psychodidae.
