ICTS-RBD is a scientific large-scale facility providing research support and cutting-edge biodiversity monitoring systems at the heart of one of the most important protected areas in Europe: Doñana National and Natural Park
Research Activities
At the Research Coordination Office all scientific activities are stored in database; projects, publications, conferences, PhD dissertations, ..ntained. References range from scientific papers and technical reports to popular books and legislation.
Monitoring at ICTS-RBD
The need to understand the inherent variability of natural systems, led to the creation of a long term monitoring program in Doñana, aimed at creating series of essential data of both physical and biological parameters

Doñana’s Singular Scientific-Technical Infrastructure (ICTS-RBD) provides access and support to carry out research at the Doñana Protected Areas.
For such purpose, it provides researchers with accomodation, various facilities and technical/logistical support. It also runs monitoring programs to assess the status and trends of biodiversity, provides online access to all the information gathered by these monitoring programs and delivers ICT service management and tools to facilitate the search and use of that information.
La introducción de especies invasoras en medios acuáticos desencadena importantes cambios que se propagan a través de la cadena alimentaria y causan una reducción de la abundancia y diversidad de especies. Esta extensa revisión recoge información acerca de diferentes tipos de organismos invasores, comunidades acuáticas residentes y hábitats.
Tras seis décadas de declive y marcada reducción de su área de distribución, entre 2002 y 2012 la población de lince ibérico ha pasado de 52 a 156 individuos reproductores distribuidos en dos poblaciones silvestres.
Los atropellos representan el impacto más estudiado del tráfico y una importante amenaza para la biodiversidad. A pesar de esto, la mayor parte de la investigación sobre este tema trata solo sobre algunas especies concretas o algunas características viarias particulares, describiendo las correlaciones próximas pero raramente haciendo inferencias sobre los mecanismos. En este estudio se aporta una aproximación más general, describiendo los factores de historia natural, temporales y espaciales...
If you plan to do research in Doñana, you must bear in mind that your project must be approved by the Research Access Commission of the Doñana Participation Council. The ICTS-RBD provides assistance throughout the procedure. Read more
