Low winter temperatures determine the foliar morphology of Mediterranean plants
Leaf mass per area ratio (LMA) is strongly influenced by climatic constraints such as water availability, air temperature and solar radiation. Low water availability is considered the most limiting factor for plant development in...
Study on the transoceanic colonization of a Drosophila fly
Drosophila buzzatii is a fruit fly species which arrived to Europe from Argentina 300 years ago. European flies show some genome differences compared to their homologous in South America. UAB scientists have studied the different molecular structure of a mobile...
One of the globalization side effects is the arrival of new species from abroad. UAB researchers have studied the effect of two invasive species that reached the archipelago of Madeira. Against what was widely believed, and published, these intruders have not affected significantly the species of indigenous ants.
Lynn Margulis, a microbiologist at the U.S. considered one of the leading figures in the evolution theory
Lynn Margulis is one of the leading scientists in the field of microbiology. Her contributions to biology and evolutionism are many. Amonst others, of particular significance is her Serial...
UAB and CREAF Scientists have demonstrate that the changes involved in the forest structure after a wildfire also imply changes in the animals that lived before. In order to validate its hypothesis, the investigators have studied ones of the most sensible communities to the changes in plant cover: the ant communities.
