Hoy nos hemos manifestado para pedir el fin del genocidio en Gaza.
Animamos a otros centros a contribuir con este tipo de acciones a incrementar la presión social sobre las instituciones y empresas que tienen capacidad para parar esta barbarie.

Esta ola de calor deja, además, a 3 días entre los 10 más cálidos registrados en España desde, al menos, 1950.

→ Es muy llamativo que los diez días más cálidos en España se han registrado a partir de 2012 y nueve de ellos corresponden a los últimos cinco años.

En un año completo serían esperables unos cinco récords de días cálidos (y otros cinco de días fríos) en un clima que no estuviese alterado.

Hasta el 18 de agosto llevamos en 2025 dieciocho récords de días cálidos y ningún récord de días fríos.

The effects of plastics might depend on their specific characteristics and can impact different levels of the ecosystem 🦆🌱🦟🦩🐟🌱🌊.

Improved waste management and separation strategies are needed to protect the health of both birds and ecosystems.

These results show that one species don't work as sentinel for all biovectoring process in the area.

BUT IT IS NOT ONLY ABOUT NUMBERS - the type of plastics and polymers also vary among species. Plastics found in gull pellets were more similar than those found in the stork ones. 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Spatially 🗺️, these species use different parts of Cadiz Bay so plastic is transported to various regions of the natural area.

Temporal ⌛ variation is linked to differences in migratory behavior.

All this complicates the implementation of effective management strategies.

However, we also found that l.black-backed gulls transported more plastics overall due to their larger numbers during wintering and migration.
In total, the 3 spp. reached 531kg. of plastic in 2022.

Notably, we also found spatiotemporal variation in plastic transport

The three species involved are white storks, yellow-legged gulls and lesser black-backed gulls. All of them use the Cadiz Bay and adjacent landfills.

We found that storks transported more ⬆️ plastic mass per cápita by pellets to the wetlands probably due to their bigger size.

In previous studies we showed how different species transported plastic from landfill to natural areas through biovectoring. doi.org/10.1016/j.wa... doi.org/10.1016/j.ma...

In this study we aimed to identify differences in the biovectoring roles of three waterbird species using the same area

Landfills 🗑️ have become a reliable source of food 🍔 for some species and have even altered their migratory behavior 🧳✈️.
However, these open-air landfills also contain pollutants ☠️, including plastics. These contaminats do affect the birds, but their impact might be even worse...

In our new paper, we show that using ropes as nesting material (particularly baler twine) cause entanglement and mortality #WhiteStork nestlings. It's time to rethink our agricultural practices and materials!

In our new paper led by Ursula Heize, we show that >90% of #WhiteStork nests have anthropogenic materials (plastics, paper, etc). Ropes are particularly dangerous: ~12% of the chicks became entangled on ropes, particularly on baler twine!
