When controlling risks, more eyes 👀 should mean more safety ⛑, right?
Apparently not in family-living carrion crows (Corvus corone): adults’ eyes matter more than those of yearlings.

Pupating in bubbles.
In this paper, we describe a new genus and three new species of marsh beetles from the Amazon,
fascinating beetles that pupate in a foam chamber.
A great discovery, observed for the first time in the family, and a real challenge for its life cycle.

Brown bears act as trophic facilitators.
Cherry seeds dispersed through bear scats are later removed by rodents.
This is the first empirical evidence of this mechanism in Eurasia and highlights the hidden ecological roles of large omnivores in human-dominated landscapes. doi.org/10.1002/ecs2...
Darwin pensaba que grandes experimentos podían realizarse en el jardín de casa. En la asignatura de Etología del “Máster U. en Investigación en Diversidad Botánica y Zoológica” (ULE) hemos seguido esa misma idea estudiando las preferencias y la eficiencia de alimentación de las hormigas del campus.
Estamos muestreando en las islas de Krk y Cres en Croacia, como parte del proyecto HydrA-PAInT, centrado en la fauna de escarabajos acuáticos.

El pasado viernes tuvimos salida de campo de Zoología (Ciencias Ambientales) a las lagunas de Villafáfila.
A pesar del calor hemos aprendido y disfrutado mucho 🦆🦉🐝🦋🐞🪳🙌🏼
Low-dispersal insects show a decline in species richness over an 11-year period, largely associated with climate change. It's cool to see field studies matching our predictive results (arxiv.org/abs/2603.29116)

No te pierdas nuestra conferencia sobre "Invertebrados y peces" en las Jornadas sobre la pesca (09/05/2026; Boñar, León).
Salida de campo de "Zoología Avanzada y Aplicada" (Grado en Biología).
Hemos aprendido métodos de muestreo de aves (puntos de escucha), intervenciones para recuperar zonas degradadas y participado en el Aula del Río.

New research in Spanish forests shows that climate change is affecting saproxylic insects. Large beetles with low dispersal are declining, while smaller, more mobile species are now more common, especially in oak forests.
