Cecilia Gimeno es investigadora predoctoral en la Estación Biológica de Doñana y se encuentra realizado su tesis doctoral sobre las estrategias de dispersión del alimoche en las Islas Canarias

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.

Scientists from Doñana Biological Station – EBD-CSIC have studied the role of waterbirds in the dispersion of invertebrates between habitats. The study has taken place in seven sites in Andalucia with different degrees of anthropogenization: Doñana ricefields, Celtina and Punta Entina saltpans in Almeria, Fuente de Piedra lake in Malaga, and three landfills sites in Huelva, Sevilla, and Córdoba. This new study shows the capacity of waterbirds to disperse freshwater invertebrates,...

Scientists from the Doñana Biological Station – CSIC has reviewed the cientific literature on the dispersal process in grey wolves (Canis lupus) and found a high variability within and among study areas on all dispersal parameters. They found that it is due to multiple individual, social and environmental determinants, but also due to methological research issues

. A new study developed at Estación Biológica de Doñana (CSIC) has employed genomic data to infer the consequences of dispersal-related trait variation in short-winged and long-winged forms of the taxonomically controversial Corsican grasshopper (Chorthippus corsicus).
