Scientists from the University of the Basque Country and the Doñana Biological Station – CSIC has studied a colony of bent-winged bat in the southern Iberian Peninsula. This colony of bats can eliminate up to 60,000 of processionary moths every night during August and September

Researchers from the Miguel Hernández University and the Doñana Biological Station – CSIC has concluded that livestock, vegetation and climate modulate the breeding success of the Canary Egyptian vulture. The study has used data collected during 22 years of monitoring of the Canary Egyptian vulture population on the island of Fuerteventura.

The study led by the CSIC confirms that greylag geese spread several plant species between different habitats 300 kilometres from their origin.
Scientists have analyzed faecal samples and the movements of this species marked with GPS for the research carried out in Sweden.

• An international scientific team, with the participation of the Doñana Biological Station, shows that maintaining grasslands adjacent to crop fields increases the abundance and diversity of wild pollinators, currently in decline.
• This biodiversity-friendly system helps to obtain a higher crop production, but farmers may not profit economically. This raises a discussion about if the transition to biodiversity-friendly farming mandatory may provide economic yield or if it may require...

Biodiversity on farmland is steeply declining throughout Europe and society at large is increasingly concerned about the loss of public goods, such as iconic local fauna and cultural landscapes. In this context, the SHOWCASE project was launched to create synergies and bridges of knowledge incentives between agricultural producers and biodiversity management practices with the aim of facilitating the agricultural sector’s transition towards more sustainable farming.
