Wind farms kill almost a million bats a year in Spain

A third of species present in Spain are threatened. More than half of them are victims of wind turbines.

EBD looks for alternatives in schools to avoid the disappearance of unknown invertebrates

Linderiella baetica is a small shrimp-like animal that swims on its back. The temporary pools in which it lives are usually appreciated by the population, who generally do not consider losing them. As a consequence, many species in these environments, and among them Linderiella baetica, are today threatened species.
To promote the conservation of species in temporary aquatic environments, some great unknown, a team with CSIC participation, specifically from the Doñana Biological Station...

A synthesis of contemporary analytical and modeling approaches in population ecology

This new book provides an overview of the key analytical approaches that are currently used in demographic, genetic, and spatial analyses in population ecology. The chapters present current problems, introduce advances in analytical methods and models, and demonstrate the applications of quantitative methods to ecological data.

Less abundant animal and plant species gather in ghettos in order to survive

According to the competitive exclusion principle, species with low competitive abilities should be excluded by more efficient competitors; yet, they generally remain as rare species. The positive and negative spatial association networks of 326 disparate assemblages was described showing a general organization pattern that simultaneously supports the primacy of competition and the persistence of rare species.

Razones para el sedentarismo

Las aves terrestres longevas y de gran tamaño muestran típicamente un comportamiento sedentario en las islas, incluso cuando son migratorias en el continente. La variación denso-dependiente de la edad cuando alcancen la madurez sexual se ha descrito como responsable de la persistencia a largo plazo de poblaciones de aves longevas en las islas. Sin embargo, las poblaciones insulares se benefician también de una mayor tasa de supervivencia por el hecho de no migrar.
