Olalla Prado receives a doctorate for a thesis on behavioral ecology

In this thesis, supervised by CENIEH researchers Ana Mateos and Jesús Rodríguez, a study of the energy expenditure of the locomotion of women in different physiological states is carried out

Olalla Prado Nóvoa has defended today her doctoral thesis on energy expenditure of the locomotion of women in different physiological states with a perspective from the behavior ecology, directed by Ana Mateos and Jesús Rodríguez, researchers at the National Center for Research on Human Evolution (CENIEH). supervised by Ana Mateos and Jesús Rodríguez, researchers at Centro Nacional de Investigación sobre la Evolución Humana (CENIEH).

In this doctoral thesis, through the analysis of data collected from 125 current humans, it has been studied the consequences that certain behaviors and some physiological changes that women experience during their reproductive cycle in metabolism and in human ecology have been studied. that is, in the ability of Homo sapiens to adapt and survive in an environment.

The jury, chaired by Esther M. Rebato Ochoa, from Universidad del País Vasco, and made up of Vítor Miguel Jacinto de Matos, from Universidad de Coimbra; Cara Ocobock, from Universidad de Notre Dame;  Rubén Barakat Carballo, from Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, and Virginia Fons Renaudon, from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, have awarded the new Universidad de Burgos doctor the mark of "Sobresaliente", unanimously.
