Documentary Canal Sur Television: emerging diseases

The television programs "Espacio Protegido" y "Tierra y Mar" of  Canal Sur Television (Andalusian TV) of April 4 and 15, respectively, show how researchers at the EBD-CSIC are studying the factors that contribute to the spread of certain contagious diseases such as malaria, West Nile virus or the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever. Climate change has generated variations in the distribution areas of many species, among them those that function as vectors or carriers of diseases, such as mosquitoes, generating new health risks in Spain.

Open Call for Research Projects in ICTS-Doñana!

The Singular Scientific and Technical Infrastructure Doñana Biological Reserve (ICTS-Doñana) announces the opening of a call for international research projects in the Doñana Natural Space.

Las altas temperaturas están provocando que las lagunas y las marismas de Doñana pierdan agua rápidamente

La superficie inundada en la marisma es de un 78% pero la profundidad es escasa. Por otra parte, sólo el 1,9% de las lagunas temporales están inundadas. Las precipitaciones crean una oportunidad para la cría de aves acuáticas, pero su éxito dependerá de la duración del agua disponible

Traffic noise causes lifelong harm to baby birds

Illegal wildlife trade, a serious problem for biodiversity and human health

A research team led by the Doñana BIological Station and the University Pablo de Olavide have detected wild-caught pets in 95% of the localities in the Neotropic and warns of the risk of zoonotic outbreaks

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.
