Isabel Pardo is a Professor in Ecology at the University of Vigo.
Qualifications: 1992 PhD in Biology, University of Santiago de Compostela.
Research interest:
- River and stream ecology: Intermitent and permanent rivers, riparian areas and wetlands. Aquatic communities (diatoms, invertebrates and fishes)
- River function: Organic matter dynamics, metabolism and food webs.
- Human influence on the structure and function of inland aquatic ecosystems: Influence of invasive exotic species (Eucalyptus and Asian clam) on native biodiversity; climate change; assessment of human impact on the ecological status of aquatic ecosystems (Water Framework Directive).
Projects:
Presently involved in a MINECO project to assess Bioaccumulation of heavy metals in benthic invertebrates and its relationship to ecological alterations in rivers affected by mining activities. Colaboration with the University of British Columbia on ecological research on food webs change along disturbance gradients due to nutrient enrichment.
