Counts of birds (non Passerines and crow) using vehicle-based transect along the Beach of the Natural Space of Doñana.

Monitoring of the community diversity and the population dynamics of the different endangered plants (e.g. Armeria velutina, Avellara fistulosa, Corema album, Gaudinia hispanica, Linaria tursica, Loeflingia baetica, Micropyropsis tuberosa, Vulpia fontquerana, Caropsis verticillatinundata) presented in three different habitats of Community Interest. It was conducted in 11 plots of 15m x 15m, twice a year during the flowering and fruiting periods of focal species (March and August). Note that the taxonomic identifications will be revised again in 2016, in order to fix any remaining misapplied names.

The dataset includes 8937 records that covers genus Geranium the New World, providing an updated, taxonomically consistent and a sound geographical distribution of the 137 species of Geranium in America. These are the studied specimens on which following monograph was based:Aedo, Carlos (2012). Revision of Geranium (Geraniaceae) in the New World. Systematic Botany Monographs 95: 550p. Besides the exhaustive taxonomic work done, and reflected in the dataset, a detailed revision of the locality of the specimens was performed, and geographic coordinates could be assigned with a 1 minute accuracy in c. 6500 records. Duplicate specimens kept in different collections have been aggregated into single records. Specimens from 128 herbaria were reviewed. These were supplemented by others collected during nine field trips, which allowed to know better the variability of characters within populations, and refine species distribution ranges. These expeditions took place in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru, United States and Venezuela, and yielded 235 herbarium specimens of Geranium belonging to 46 species. The potential for this dataset to be widely reused is very high, given the level of taxonomic and geographic scrutiny this dataset encompasses, its completeness, and the fact that Geranium is a well-known genus, widely used in horticulture and for pharmaceutical products.

Collection composed of Artemia cysts (Crustacea, Branchiopoda, Anostraca). These cysts are embryos (gastrulae) with their metabolism suspended, laid by female Artemia on unfavorable environmental circumstances; they are covered by a lipoproteic chorion which protects the embryos and contributes to the bloom of nauplii larvae under favorable conditions. They are dehydrated by drying or high saline solutions. This collection started around 1984-1985. There are sampling event data, and presence data of Artemia populations. Due to the use of Artemia cysts in aquaculture industry, there is, presently a biodiversity loss in the genus, since some of its species are acting as exotic invasive eradicating the native Artemia species in different areas of the world.

El Herbario MAIA tiene su origen en las colecciones del antiguo Instituto Forestal de Investigaciones y Experiencias (1929). Está ordenado según el sistema filogenético de clasificación de plantas de Adolf Engler. Es un herbario histórico fundado en 1940 y actualmente adscrito al Centro de Investigación Forestal (CIFOR) del Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA), dependiente del MINECO.Esta colección de taxones del género Erica contiene 97 pliegos, de 12 de las principales especies españolas. La mayoría están recogidos e identificados por Carlos Vicioso (1886-1978) y Manuel Martín Bolaños (1928-1962) a lo largo de 21 provincias españolas, aproximadamente la mitad de ellos en Huelva.

iNaturalist España se llama Natusfera, que es parte de la red global de iNaturalist (https://www.inaturalist.org/sites/network) y constituye el Nodo de iNaturalist en España. Está gestionada desde 2020 por el Nodo Nacional de Información en Biodiversidad, GBIF.ES (https://www.gbif.es/), que pertenece al CSIC, y también impulsada por el CREAF (http://www.creaf.cat/es).Natusfera es una plataforma que permite registrar, organizar y compartir observaciones de naturaleza, conocer a otros entusiastas y aprender sobre el mundo natural. Promueve la divulgación de la biodiversidad de España con la participación de una amplia variedad de interesados como excursionistas, guías de naturaleza, cazadores, aficionados a las aves, recolectores de hongos, técnicos de espacios naturales, ecologistas, alumnos, maestros, pescadores, etc., a través de la ciencia ciudadana. Sus objetivos son crear conciencia en las comunidades y conocer el mundo natural y su biodiversidad para promover su exploración, conectando las diferentes percepciones y sensibilidades de sus participantes.Todo aquel interesado amante de la naturaleza y quien desee conocer más sobre la biodiversidad de nuestro país, puede participar utilizando esta herramienta de ciencia ciudadana, contribuyendo así al fortalecimiento de la investigación científica.Las observaciones con grado de investigación y licencias de uso abiertas de Natusfera se publican --junto a las del resto de la red global de iNaturalist-- en GBIF.ORG desde donde se pueden acceder bajo el juego de datos de iNaturalist (https://www.gbif.org/es/dataset/50c9509d-22c7-4a22-a47d-8c48425ef4a7).Acceso a la plataforma web Natusfera: https://spain.inaturalist.org/

Observadores del Mar - Seawatchers is an internet platform aimed at connecting citizens and scientists to investigate together the current state of our seas and oceans. Citizens can participate by contributing with their observations and experience. We wish to understand the effects of global warming, pollution, biodiversity changes, invasions of alien species and overfishing in marine ecosystems. To this end, we collect observations and sightings on the distribution and abundance of marine species, the emergence of rare or invasive marine species or the signs of change in ecosystems (mortality of organisms, amassing of surface and bottom pollution).This platform of projects, linked to ongoing research is coordinated by the Institute of Marine Sciences of Barcelona (ICM-CSIC) and relies on the collaboration among citizens scientists from different national and international centers. The main challenges we have are: (1) to detect global warming impacts in biology and distribution of species; (2) to inform about the appearance and expansion of introduced or invasive species; (3) to inform about the presence of warning species such as jellyfish or pufferfish; (4) to expand the knowledge about biology, habitat and distribution of native species; (5) to report the pollution of coasts and sea bottoms and its impact in marine life and ecosystems Decapod crustaceans (crabs, shrimps, prawns, lobsters, spiny lobsters, hermit crabs,… are a very diverse and still poorly known faunal group, especially so for the wide public. Compared with fish, which are much more evident and easier to watch underwater, crustaceans are much more difficult to obtain reliable information from, since many of them have nocturnal habits, and stay under rocks, buried in the sand or in crevices during most of daytime. Notwithstanding, there is a reasonable number of species that we can be able to see if we watch attentively in the correct habitats, such as crevices or small caves in rocky shores. We aim to obtain data and information on the occurrence not only of the scarce species but also of the common ones. Species that today are common may not be so in a few years time, and inversely, species that today are scarce, or not yet here, may be common tomorrow. Collaboration is necessary and very valuable., Occurrence records, with photograph whenever possible, With the institutional support of the ‘Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence’ accreditation (CEX2019-000928-S), Peer reviewed

Major bacterial agents in a Mediterranean holm-oak forest recovery after a fire, El cambio global es un hecho constatado e incuestionable. Además de los procesos de tipo industrial existen otros factores, como los incendios forestales, que también contribuyen al calentamiento global dada la alta emisión de CO2 que producen. Disminuir la concentración de CO2 atmosférico, evitar su incremento o ayudar a su acumulación en la materia orgánica del suelo, se puede ver beneficiado por un correcto manejo del monte mediterráneo. Una rápida re-vegetación o recuperación de las formaciones autóctonas como son los encinares y robledales (Quercus ilex sp. rotundifolia y Q. pyrenaica) pueden ayudar en este sentido. Conocer las posibles etapas de modificación de estos bosques, expansión o regresión, por efecto del cambio climático también es importante, sobre todo si podemos contribuir a la progresión y al establecimiento de una mayor superficie de bosque. Los microorganismos del suelo son los responsables del cierre del ciclo biogeoquímico del carbono, contribuyendo además a la fertilidad del suelo y a la promoción del crecimiento vegetal. Por tanto en este proyecto se propone, la identificación de microorganismos indicadores que nos permitan seguir la evolución de la recuperación después de un incendio, la transición robledal-encinar y la progresión del robledal, como medida del cambio climático. Para ello se proponen los siguientes objetivos específicos:i) Análisis del fingerprint genético mediante TGGE de la diversidad microbiana y la redundancia funcional de fijación de N2 en los suelos bajo robles maduros y en progresión en alturas superiores.ii) Construcción y análisis de metagenomas de los suelos de encinar y robledal.iii) Secuenciación masiva del ADN ambiental extraído de un encinar y de un robledal maduros para la identificación de bioindicadores.iv) Monitorización, a los 2 y 4 años, de la evolución del encinar quemado y del robledal en progresión en altura mediante el empleo de los bioindicadores seleccionados.
