Impacts of feeding and cortisol on the ionoregulation of freshwater fish: influence of energy budget and hormone regulation
Exercise or swimming is an essential daily activity among aquatic organisms particularly on foods searching, seasonal migration, seasonal reproduction, predator-prey obviation and pollutants avoidance
Development of a biodiversity-chip for the biomonitoring of benthic macroinvertebrate communities
The project is a case-study for Flemish Trichoptera and uses our molecular database of selected genetic markers and the variance displayed in their nucleotide sequences.
