El equipo, que realizó su trabajo en experimentos de laboratorio y modelos animales, encontró en las ranas una fuente «poco convencional» para la posible obtención de tratamientos innovadores que respondan a «la necesidad apremiante» de soluciones contra las bacterias resistentes a los antibióticos.

These results suggest that speciation in midwife toads initially involve cryptic lineages, which probably evolve RI through intrinsic (genetic) hybrid incompatibilities. As they continue to diverge, these nascent species eventually differentiate externally, which potentially enforces pre-mating barriers and facilitates sympatry. Leer más.
We provide evidence that an FV3-like virus has been present in amphibians from the PNP since at least 2009. Further efforts should be taken to understand the impacts of FV3 on amphibians inhabiting the Pyrenees. Leer más.
The species seems to be extinct, or considered to be on the brink of extinction, in 60% of the sites monitored since the 2000s. The increase in wild boar abundance appears to be the main cause of this decline, which affects both protected and unprotected sites. Leer más.
In this study we compile data regarding lizard densities of the island populations of the Ibiza wall lizard, Podarcis
pityusensis, which can serve as a baseline for future research and control of the invasive snakes, and in particular the
horseshoe whip snake Hemorrhois hippocrepis, in the Pityusic Islands. Leer más.
