145.3 l/m2 have been collected during March, mostly during Easter, according to ICTS-Doñana data. Rains come late for wintering, but will still be useful for waterfowl breeding. The annual hydrological cycle, which runs from September to August, has already accumulated a precipitation of 404.4 l/m2. This exceeds that of the three previous years at this time, but still does not reach the historical average per cycle, which exceeds 500 l/m2.

Phantom midges are present today on all major landmasses, except Antarctica and New Zealand, where it was believed that they had never inhabited until now
The causes of the extinction of these aquatic insects in New Zealand are not known, but it may be indicative of some drastic environmental change in the islands, such as a severe drought or submersion of New Zealand’s landmass.

A new study reveals the existence of an ancient coastal plain today located between the towns of Rota, Sanlúcar de Barrameda and Chipiona in the province of Cadiz, in southern Spain. The landscape in Late Plaistocene, when sea levels were 7-8m above the current one, could be similar to Doñana
