Researchers from 31 Spanish research institutions, coordinated by the InvaNET network and coinciding with the publication of the IPBES report, have identified the 108 alien animal and plant species with the highest risk of having a strong environmental impact in Spain in the next 10 years.

Those include, for example, the Japanese beetle, the roundworm Radopholus similis, or the marine plant Halophila stipulacea. More than 80% of the species identified are not included in the...

Un equipo científico entre el que se encuentra la Estación Biológica de Doñana y el Centro de Estudios Avanzados de Blanes utilizó información de más de 3500 muestreos de campo para detectar la presencia y describir la distribución de hasta seis especies diferentes de lochas introducidas en Cataluña
Los patrones genéticos demostraron que ha habido numerosas introducciones independientes y que una de las lochas invasoras que más se ha propagado, del género Barbatula, es una especie que...

A study led by the Doñana Biological Station (CSIC) and the University of Cádiz has analized the relationships between traits of ornamental woody species and climatic and socioeconomic variables.
The scientists evaluate 46 urban parks from 23 Spanish cities. 400 out of 486 species recorded in the study are non-native

Pandemics as Covid 19 and biological invasions have much in common. They are often linked by the same global change drivers, and they are showing similar features. An international research team, led by the Estación Biológica de Doñana (EBD-CSIC), has investigated the tight relationships between infectious diseases causing epidemics and biological invasions.

A workshop organised by BirdLife International will take place at EBD-CSIC premises on January 21st-22nd to propose a priority list of invasive species Among participants, the universities of Cambridge, Vienna and Berne, the Centre for Environmental Research Leipzig (UFZ, Germany), the Zoological Society of London and the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic Researchers, international (EPPO, IUCN) and national organizations (Belgian Biodiversity Platform) are found.
