A beetle bores a tree trunk to build a gallery in the wood in order to protect its lay. As it digs the tunnel, it spreads ambrosia fungal spores that will feed the larvae. When these bore another tree, the adult beetles will be the transmission vectors of the fungal spores in another habitat. This mutualism among insects and ambrosia fungi could be more than 100 years old -more than what was thought to date- according to an article published in the journal Biological Reviews .
Diana Zavala-Rojas is a member of the group of international experts that has drafted a report on the quality of comparative surveys
The researcher of the RECSM-UPF research group has been involved in preparing a report published by the American and World Associations for Public Opinion Research that aims to break new ground in the study of survey methodology and its interdisciplinary fields.

Autoimmune encephalitis are a series of inflammatory diseases in the central nervous system in which the immune system mistakenly attack the proteins of the body, in this case, receptors of neurotransmitters or proteins of the neuronal surface.
COVID-19 vaccines pre-prepared in syringes for their administration can be safely transported
Research finds that COVID-19 vaccines pre-prepared in syringes for their administration can be safely transported This may be of great relevance in mass vaccination strategies, especially in rural and less developed areas, as the doses can be prepared in an official healthcare centre and then transported to remote vaccination sites or areas with an underdeveloped healthcare infrastructure.

The concentration of potentially toxic metals is increasing in the population of the franciscana dolphin -a small cetacean, endemic from the Rio de la Plata and an endangered species- according to a study led by a team of the Faculty of Biology and the Biodiversity Research Institute (IRBio), published in the journal Science of The Total Environment .
7.58% of children suffer from Specific Language Impairment (SLI). In other words, one or maybe two children in every classroom have this disorder, as roughly one ot of every 14 children are affected by it.
Archaeologists of the University of Barcelona have conducted new excavations in the Iberian sites of Kum-Castellet de Banyoles and Coll del Moro in Serra d'Almos, both in the town of Tivissa (Ribera d'Ebre).
The most visited marine areas by adult and juvenile Audonin's gulls are near the coast and are partially protected by the Spanish Network of Marine Protected Areas Network (RAMPE).
Development of a system that detects electric arcs in aircraft
Researchers from the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), together with Airbus Defence and Space (ADS), have developed a system that rapidly detects electric arcs in aircraft. This technological research project is being funded by the ADS with support from the Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI, in its Spanish acronym) and will contribute to developing safer and cleaner aircraft.

Intelligent system designed to improve vehicle stability systems
Researchers at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) have developed an intelligent system for estimating a vehicle's dynamic behaviour and improving its stability. This will help to optimise the performance of skid and rollover control systems in cars, as well as to prevent potential traffic accidents.
