An intensive farming system that benefits biodiversity and pollination is not economically profitable

• 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...

Las abejas mineras que vuelan a principios de primavera son particularmente vulnerables al calor

Un estudio de la Estación Biológica de Doñana-CSIC señala que el aumento de días cálidos en hábitats de montaña pone en riesgo la actividad polinizadora de las abejas ‘Andrena’
En España existen más de mil especies de abejas que polinizan en diferentes momentos del año y ambientes

The Doñana Biological Station studies how relationships between species come from individual interactions

Interactions between species are usually simplified to relationship between populations, but the individuals are the ones who interact
This study contributes to find the effects of the variation between individuals within communities using data on plant-pollinator interactions obtained in the Doñana Biological Reserve.

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.

International scientific team creates a global database to predict the role of animal pollination of commercial crops across the World

The database, coordinated by two researchers from the Doñana Biological Station - CSIC, covers 48 commercial crops distributed across 3,000 locations on five continents and 32 countries over three decades. The data is open accessible and any person or institution - scientific or not - can access the information. In addition, any person or scientific institution that wants to contribute new data can do so in a simple way.
