A study led by the Doñana Biological Station reveals that species richness and diversity of ants and bees could increase after a wildfire. Some of these positive effects could persist over the long term.

The Doñana Biological Station participates in the most exhaustive study of the microbial communities of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. The work, led by the University of Oviedo, finds the same values of diversity and richness of microorganisms in the wetlands sampled inside and outside the exclusion zone.

The analysis of carnivore trends in Doñana National Park (DNP), led by members of the ICTS-RBD monitoring team, reveals that the populations of 5 species studied in the park have evolved differently over the last 15 years.

La Estación Biológica de Doñana colabora este año en la organización del evento Pint of Science 2023, un evento de divulgación que se celebra de manera simultánea en diferentes países del mundo y que busca acercar la ciencia a la sociedad.

A scientific team found that vultures have different diet patterns depending on the place where they breed, regardless of the available resources.

This indicates that they have different “tastes” by cultural transmission among individuals of the same population. Until now, it was believed that vultures were opportunistic species that consumed any type of carrion without indiscriminately.
