Here, in order to advance understanding of the current infection status related to the presence of Batrachochytrium spp.
in different populations, we tested for the presence/absence (qualitative analysis) of Bd and Bsal in 13 monitored populations
and measured the Bd infection loads (quantitative analysis) of 16 populations of the Pyrenean Brook Newt in the French and
Spanish Pyrenean Mountains and present details of a population health monitoring program. Leer más.

Demographic traits were analyzed in the Pyrenean brook newt (Calotriton asper) to evaluate whether its variability responds to the adaptation to the different habitats. In this study, life history traits of Calotriton asper were studied in nine populations living in two different kinds of habitats in the Pyrenees mountains: lakes and streams. Skeletochronology was used to determine age structure and different traits such as age at maturity and longevity. Leer más.

La biodiversidad de las Islas Canarias en la antigüedad era mayor de la que ahora conocemos, no solo han desaparecido lagartos gigantes del territorio. También es conocido de la extinción de menos las dos especies de tortugas terrestres Geochelone burchardi, para el caso de Tenerife, y Geochelone vulcanica, para el de Gran Canaria. En el resumen de la exposición se presenta las últimas investigaciones sobre estas grandes desconocidas y de la estrecha relación que existe con el continente africano. Leer más.
