The BBVA Foundation has awarded six Biomedicine Chairs to leading researchers, facilitating knowledge transfer and strengthening ties between Spain and international teams. The chairs will focus on basic and clinical research, with a total funding of €1.2M.
The BBVA Foundation Award for Conservation Biology recognizes Harold Mooney and Peter Raven for their contributions to understanding the evolutionary and co-evolutionary processes that shape plant diversity. Their work has shifted the focus of conservation biology from species-centered approaches to ecosystems and services provided to ...
A new study proposes a universal rule to explain the equilibrium of plant populations, identifying phytoplankton as the shortest-lived species and trees that can live for centuries. The research suggests that plant mortality is highly temperature-sensitive, with potential increases of 40% in land temperatures above 4ºC.
The BBVA Foundation has awarded six Biomedicine Chairs to leading international specialists, facilitating collaboration between Spanish and international researchers on basic research in hepatic diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. The chairs also support clinical research in craneoencephalic trauma rehabilitation and the dev...
The BBVA Foundation is funding 12 research projects in Ecology and Conservation Biology, focusing on climate change's impact on shorebird populations and mercury pollution in biodiversity hotspots. The projects also include studies on noise pollution's effect on tropical birds and the conservation status of the monito del monte marsupial.
