La colección de literatura científica constituye un extraordinario repositorio de conocimiento sobre los organismos vivos presentes en el Parque Natural agrupados en tres disciplinas: Botánica, Ecología y Zoología

La vigilancia del virus West Nile en mosquitos como sistema de alarma para evitar su transmisión a humanos

Un estudio reciente liderado por la Estación Biológica de Doñana ha examinado los factores asociados al brote de Virus del Nilo del verano de 2020 que provocó 77 casos de infección grave y 8 fallecimientos

Ducks help plants to escape global warming

Ducks are capable of dispersing terrestrial plant seeds during their long-distance spring migrations towards colder destinations. This is crucial for plants, allowing them to move to cooler latitudes to keep pace with climate change. The study has been conducted by an international scientific team with the participation of researchers from the Doñana Biological Station – CSIC.

Crop yield increase is compatible with biodiversity protection

A study led by the Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3), with the collaboration of the Doñana Biological Station – CSIC, has concluded that more diverse agricultural landscapes with smaller field sizes, practices that favour biodiversity, provide higher yields.

Native forest degradation and exotic species alter the ecological interaction between two species in Chile

The Austral parakeet (Enicognathus ferrugineous) is one of the main seed dispersers of Araucaria araucana, a threatened species. However, livestock and exotic species consume almost the whole seed production in non-masting years. This situation, along with the disappearance of native plant species, force Austral parakeets to feed on crops, with the risk of being considered a harmful species by farmers.
