Brand new doctor in the group congratulations Dr Adrià Bellvert! IRBioUB

Yesterday I successfully defended my PhD thesis! Years of hard work that finally comes with a big reward! Thanks to anybody who has contributed somehow during all these years.

Paper out 🕷️📢! Our new study, together with Dragomir Dimitrov, Alireza Zamani and Miquel Arnedo, "Integrating museum collections and molecules reveals genus-level synonymy and new species in red devil spiders" has been published in European Journal of Taxonomy. DOI: doi.org/10.5852/ejt.20…

Junt amb l'Adrià Bellvert i el Miquel Arnedo publiquem la guia d'Aràcnids de Catalunya. Hi podreu trobar fitxes per identificar 135 espècies, a més d'esquemes i claus d'identificació, i una introducció completa amb moltes curiositats sobre el món de les aranyes😁🕷️

Ja és aquí la guia d'Aràcnids de Catalunya!😮👇

Because of their high diversity, trophic shifts, colonization and diversification in extreme and isolated habitats, red devil spiders are truly fascinating. Our latest paper doi.org/10.1111/cla.12… provides a phylogenetic framework and timeline for studying their evolution

Torna el CURS D'ARANYES! Si t'interessen els aràcnids , aquest octubre tens el curs d'Introducció al Món de les Aranyes, tant a aspectes generals de la seva biologia com a mètodes per identificar-ne els principals grups. entrades.eicub.net:8443/muslinkIII/ven…

The conservation of subterranean biodiversity and Biodiversa+ (European Biodiversity Partnership) project DarCo are in the spotlight thanks to this article in Open Access Gov by Stefano Mammola: shorturl.at/M0bzd

So happy to see the outcome of the first project Alba Enguídanos García and I got funded by ESEB The Linnean Society of London and The Systematics Association.🥳 mdpi.com/2075-4450/15/1… This is only the tip of the Panama Bioresearch iceberg. Stay tuned to know the hard work we did with all attendees! Coming soon!💯

New Science Magazine letter by DarCo's team, brilliantly led by Tiziana Di Lorenzo, on the need to integrate groundwater ecosystems into the EU Water Framework Directive. A vital step for sustainable water management and protecting groundwater fauna. 🌍🦐💚💧 doi.org/10.1126/scienc…

La guia d'Aràcnids de Catalunya, el 3r llibre més venut a Oryx el 2024! 😁🕷

📢 PAPER OUT!! 🤩Superhappy to have finished this piece of work, where we describe the third deep-sea Dendrodoris species worldwide🗺️, evaluate the ecological shifts of the genus🪸, and found signals of convergent evolution! To know more just click 👇🧵 link.springer.com/article/10.100…

New paper by DarCo's team (Stefano Mammola , Adrià Bellvert & more) on the use of art to enhance communication about subterranean ecosystems and their conservation

Hot off the press! My last chapter of PhD has been finally publsihed! Here we compare the internal anatomy of the chela closing muscles in two species of scorpione at the extremes of the chela morphological gradient. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jm…

After many years, we have finally published the first scientific project I ever conducted 🥹 This fills me with joy, as because of this project, I realized how much I love science, #Dendrodoris nudibranchs, and combining both! 😍🤩 See it below & enjoy😝 rdcu.be/euSXO
