#EBDPub Pollination networks change over time in ways that are consistently better than random: this rewiring enhances pollinator persistence.

It is not optimal, but it is key for biodiversity to persist in natural systems.

🐺🔬 Los lobos ibéricos conservan un pequeño pero significativo legado genético de antiguos encuentros con perros.

🧬 Estos genes heredados podrían podrían influir en rasgos de comportamiento únicos respecto a otras poblaciones de lobos europeos.

#EBDPub 🦜 Cada año se capturan entre 300.000 y 500.000 loros en Bolivia para tenerlos como mascota, una práctica cultural muy arraigada.

Un nuevo estudio revela que la demanda local de loros supera ampliamente el comercio doméstico e internacional.

Wild bee abundance is a strong proxy of species richness across Europe.

👉 The researchers provided here a simple implementation framework so that non-experts can use this proxy in rapid biodiversity assessments.

⚠️ La anguila europea se considera en Peligro Crítico de Extinción desde 2008. Ahora, un estudio en el Delta del Ebro revela que en los últimos años está sufriendo un nuevo declive, más severo y rápido, que la está empujando hacia una inminente desaparición.

#EBDPub Human persecution is the leading cause of wolf deaths. 74% of wolf mortality in Europe & North America is human-caused — 60% from legal or illegal hunting.

Based on data from 140 studies, it’s the first global analysis of wolf mortality.

🌿Artificial wetlands are not replacing natural wetlands in terms of biodiversity

#EBDPub findings:

🔹 Opportunistic and non-native species dominate artificial wetlands

🔹 Groundwater abstraction impacts the ecological functions provided by scavengers
