Profesor en @umh.es. Me fascina conocer como se mueven los animales, e investigo sobre los impactos de las infraestructuras en la biodiversidad. 🦅🦉🦆. Espacialmente inestable.

Worries about vaccination rates in dogs
As rabies seems to be spreading more in wildlife, veterinarians are especially worried about vaccine hesitancy spreading among pet owners, a dangerous trend that could lead to more dogs — and their owners — becoming infected. A 2023 study published in the journal Vaccine found in a nationally representative sample of Americans that nearly 40% believed canine vaccines were unsafe and 37% believed that vaccines could lead their dogs to develop cognitive issues, such as autism.

Dogs are getting vaccinated less and rabies rates are rising, in part because 37% of Americans think vaccines will give their dogs... pawtism.

La verdad es que generalmente funciona muy bien. Pero hay varias especies que aún no termina de identificar correctamente, por lo que conviene poner en duda si sale alguna especie "rara".

Differential Flight Responses of Sympatric Raptor Species to Weather Conditions and Extreme Temperature Events Flying organisms, such as birds, alter their flight behavior in response to atmospheric conditions, and climate change has exacerbated extreme weather events like heatwaves, impacting their flight. T...

I'm thrilled to let you know that we've got a new paper out! 🎉🤩🥳

This time, we took a look at how weather and extreme weather events impact the flight patterns of three sympatric raptor species in southwestern Spain.
