We observed strong geographical variation of SD among islands, and tested three potential SD predictors related to resource availability (individual body condition, ecosystem productivity, temperature). Body condition and ecosystem productivity were the main drivers of body size SD variation, and body condition was also the main driver for head shape SD. Leer más.

La investigadora del departamento de Ciencias de la Vida de la Universidad de Alcalá, Sara Villén, junto con otros científicos, crea una nueva herramienta para el estudio del cambio climático usando como modelo el canto de una especie ibérica de rana, 
Aparentemente, podría parecer que no existe ninguna relación entre las tarántulas y las crías de rana, pero lo cierto es que sí. Según un estudio publicado en The Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation, la tarántula venenosa Xenesthis immanis se ha convertido en protectora de la rana de hojarasca del río Pastaza Chiasmocleis ventrimaculata.
