The ECR project MicroFlux led by @nestor-arandia.bsky.social aims to explore how microorganisms living in coastal aquifers influence the chemistry of groundwater discharging into the sea, aiming to shed light on the role of coastal aquifers as attenuators of nitrogen pollution to the coastal ocean.

Ana Leitão & Raquel Ponti, from CIBIO-BIOPOLIS, will investigate bird evolution in insular environments. Their SIBECOL-funded project explores how reduced predation & stable climates shape sexual dimorphism in endemic species. @anavleitao.bsky.social @raquelponti.bsky.social #evolution #birdresearch

"Antiguamente, en Vitoria había más jardineros municipales, cualificados y bien remunerados. No se puede dejar la gestión a empresas privadas que a veces plantan solo lo que tienen los viveros”

"Si se deja que se desarrollen las plantas la biodiversidad se multiplica: los insectos e invertebrados sobre todo. No hace falta una receta universal de cortarlo todo o dejarlo todo, sino un plan para especificar en qué lugares y cuándo hay que cortar” elpais.com/clima-y-medi...

Dediquem aquest estudi al nostre estimat company i amic Jordi Garcia Orellana, que ens va deixar de manera imprevista. La seva manera de fer ciència ens ha format com a investigadors, i la seva manera de viure continua inspirant-nos com a individus.

A més, aquesta recirculació mostra una forta estacionalitat: es multiplica per 4 a l’estiu. Aquest augment podria portar més nutrients i contaminants al sistema, contribuint als episodis d’eutrofització observats.
