El declive de los alcornoques centenarios de Doñana se está acelerando y multiplicando.
La falta de agua, la bajada de los niveles freáticos del acuífero, el aumento de las temperaturas y la presencia de patógenos podrían estar detrás.

The latest global temperature that was just posted by Copernicus (data from Feb. 9) was 2.03°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline.

Can phenotypic plasticity reduce the impact of climate change in the short-term providing time for adaptation? Or, do organisms with higher tolerance have lower plasticity? Bel van Heerwaarden Vanessa Kellermann and Carla Sgro investigated trade-offs royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/pdf/10.109…

A little overview of why earless frogs are so weird, interesting, and fun to think about! 🐸👂
Especially from an evolutionary perspective 🧬🌿

In our recently published paper in Evolution Journal (with Juan Carlos and Ivan Gomez-Mestre), we show that developmental and growth larval plasticity constrains metamorphic and post-metamorphic gonadal maturation in spadefoot toads

Excited to share our latest work published today in Cell and studying Placozoa cell type diversity and evolution. This a major outcome of our European Research Council (ERC) project Evocellmap Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) ICREA Community 1/12

'Concentration' of packs? I guess you mean recovery (at best!!! often not the case)
Danger for humans? Any data on that?

Acompañamos a David Aragones Borrego del LAST EBD a la laguna de Santa Olalla en Doñana.

Aquí nos cuenta en qué estado se encuentra la laguna y algunas de las investigaciones científicas y trabajos de seguimiento que estamos llevando a cabo 👇

Whether you still think that amphibians don't have much to offer when it comes to elaborate behaviours, or ❤️ them as much as Eva Ringler Jenny Stynoski #LisaSchulte and I do, have a look at our new Annual Reviews on what they can teach us about #parentalcare rb.gy/dbhvm

This never happened before since we began taking data almost 60 years ago. Santa Olalla, the largest lagoon in the Spain's Doñana National Park, is completely dry. This year, it dried up almost one month earlier than in 2022.

What led us to this situation?

Excited to see our paper out in PNASNews We show that a Mediator subunit ensures the development of alternative mouth morphs in the nematode Pristionchus pacificus

Doñana national park in Andalucía, Spain, is being threatened by drought, over-consumption and rightwing MPs. Seven people who work there describe the fragile ecosystem and what it means to them

Amphibian larvae are capable of fine-tuning their pigmentation to match background lighting. In this new paper we show that the change can be fast (few days), reversible, and associated with changes in shape and oxidative stress. Cool pic 👇by HCLiedtke

On this day 54 years ago, the Spanish Council of Ministers approved the creation of the Doñana National Park.

Today, this is the situation of the largest lagoon of Doñana. Severe drought and overexploitation of the aquifer are the causes of this serious deterioration.
