EBD-CSIC has received the Award for Excellence in Prevention of Occupational Risks "Ramón Tobar" in its tenth edition. The candidacy presented by the EBD is entitled "Organization of the First Conference on the Prevention of Sexual and Labor Harassment".

Urbanization and loss of woody vegetation are changing key traits of arthropod communities

Urbanization is favouring smaller beetle species and larger spider species with greater dispersal capacity.

The loss of woody areas is linked to a decline in the duration of the activity period, a higher tolerance to drought, and less dispersal capacity in both groups.

Blood lead levels in an endangered vulture species decreased following restrictions on hunting practices

Canarian Egyptian vulture was on the verge of extinction at the end of the 20th century. At that time, studies revealed that lead poisoning was a serious problem for the population’s survival. The work has been possible thanks to the monitoring carried out since 1998 by the Doñana Biological Station in collaboration with the Canarian authorities.
