La mortalidad por la infección que pone en jaque el sistema inmune de cerdos y jabalíes, alcanza cifras cercanas al 100%. ¿Cómo causa esos estragos? ¿Por qué no hay vacunas ni tratamientos efectivos?

La Comisión Europea debilita en un borrador las normas de información medioambiental. El retroceso que se está produciendo en la UE en relación a los temas ambientales es un hecho constatado, y resulta muy preocupante. www.publico.es/sociedad/m-a...

El laboratorio de Bellaterra experimentaba con el virus de la peste porcina africana cuando apareció el primer jabalí infectado a cientos de metros. Confirman al menos dos ensayos uno de ellos con una cepa similar a la del brote elpais.com/ciencia/2025...

XVII SECEM congress, Évora We used estimates of cat numbers and factors affecting their per capita predation rate to show that cats living or allowed to roam outdoors in Spain kill at least 500 000 000 animals per year Huge numbers @ebdonana.bsky.social @secem-sicem.bsky.social

Old-growth forests 🌲store lots of carbon and support biodiversity. Recent study of 3,503 tree rings across Europe shows that older forests, especially those with large trees, are crucial for long-term carbon storage, highlighting the need to protect them.👍 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A weather station in Ringaskiddy County Cork recorded a remarkable gust of 156 knots which is 289kmh last night at 12:26am. I have receive multiple reports of damage in Cork. Based on reports it was not a Tornado but a downburst. The station is operated by Martek Limited.

Last night I mentioned that William Bond had died, and a family member asked me what he had done. My response was that the two things I learnt from him were (a) sometimes the grasses win and (b) many ecosystems are meant to burn. I hope he wouldn't object to that summary. 🌏🌐

Great to see some strong EPA enforcement against North Cork Creameries for continuing to breach their licence. They're not allowed to discharge again until the EPA are satisfied they'll be compliant with their licence, which, given their track record, won't be easy thecurrency.news/articles/208...

Nowhere in nature do finches encounter food sources like this: highly concentrated piles of seeds & droppings, stewing in moist gunk for days, weeks, months, attracting multiple species in very close proximity. This is pathogen porridge. In nature, seeds scatter thinly and are available briefly.

Didactic video featuring two species which have declined catastrophically due to disease transfer at feeding stations. Birds infected with Trichomonas struggle to eat and will drop food items from their beaks, which are then eaten by healthy birds, hence RSPB no longer sells table feeders #UKBirding

In the early hours of this morning, following 119.6mm of rainfall in 12hrs, the River Monnow burst its banks and flooded Monmouth. The usual river level is just under 2m, this morning it was 6.63m- even higher than the record-breaking level during the floods in 2020 (6.57m). Absolutely devastating.

11am Saturday and rain continues in parts of East and midlands. Video taken just now at Powerscourt waterfall shows the volume of rain coming down off the Wicklow Mountains with a lot of reports of flooding coming in.

La proliferación de cultivos tropicales en la Costa del Sol están produciendo graves problemas ambientales, pues conllevan la roturación de laderas y un gran gasto de agua (1 kg de aguacates conlleva un consumo de 600 litros de agua). Hay que frenar esta locura. Es insostenible.
