    Feeding in the garbage: physiological and microbiological consequences of using landfills as food resource in the white stork (Ciconia ciconia)
    (2021) Pineda Pampliega, Javier; Aguirre de Miguel, José Ignacio; Höfle Hansen, Ursula
    This PhD thesis aimed to establish if the use of landfills as a food resource by white storks, which a priori, judged by the increasing population appears positive, could have any effects on the health status of nestlings. For this purpose, initially, we evaluated the status of individuals which were fed different proportions of food from landfills, using a multidisciplinary approach based on the evaluation of nutritional status, liver and renal function, oxidative stress balance and the presence of pathogens. This way we identified that, in fact, the higher the proportion of food from landfills the better the nutritional status, indicating higher food intake. Hepatic and/or renal function were not affected. Also, oxidative stress balance, which is more sensitive to damage by the potentially present pollutants in the landfill, is suggestive of a hormetic response; i. e. an increase in defences that allows to cope with limited damage without compromising the organism. Landfill foraging storks also have a higher prevalence of antibiotic resistant E.coli, which could be a problem not only for the health of the storks, also for the transmission of these microorganisms to other wildlife, livestock and humans. After obtaining a broad overview of the effect of this use, we tried to confirm previous results at a much larger scale, increasing the number of colonies of study, and more importantly, to verify if the benefits hold, regardless of the year of study. In the second chapter, we confirmed that the benefits on nutritional status of nestlings which were fed with food from landfills are constant between years, as well as the apparent lack of affectation on hepatic and/or renal systems. However, the response of the oxidative stress balance was not always the same, because of dietary antioxidants and the necessity of natural food during the first period of life. Even so, the use of landfill oraged food never produced a disbalance in the oxidative stress balance, which indicates that, despite the year, the potential damage could be perfectly counteracted by the organisms of the nestlings...

    El objetivo de este proyecto era evaluar el interés de los estudiantes de Biología por un grado bilingüe. Mediante cuestionarios, seminarios informativos y clases en inglés se identificaron las variables que afectan a la demanda y la perspectiva de éxito. Demostramos que los estudiantes del Grado en Biología tienen buen nivel de inglés y están muy interesados en una docencia en inglés. Desearían cursos o clases en inglés a partir del primer curso. El interés se basa sobre todo en el deseo de poder trabajar y estudiar en el extranjero. Actividades en inglés y seminarios informativos incrementarían el interés y la demanda de docencia en inglés.

    Influence of climatic conditions on the link between oxidative stress balance and landfill utilisation as a food resource by white storks
    (Science of the Total Environment, 2023) Pineda Pampliega, Javier; Herrera-Dueñas, Amparo; Puente, Javier de la; Aguirre, José ; Camarero, Pablo; Höfle, Ursula
    Landfills have played a significant role in the recovery of white storks (Ciconia ciconia) populations across various European countries. While there is ample information about the populational-level effects, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the individual effects of using this food resource for feeding nestlings. This study aims to assess the nutritional status and oxidative stress balance of nestlings with varying degrees of exposure to landfill-provided food This study aims to assess the nutritional status and oxidative stress balance of nestlings with different use of landfill-provided food. Nestlings fed with food foraged by breeding pairs from landfills exhibited better nutritional status compared to individuals located farther from landfills. This can be attributed to a higher ingestion rate, resulting in increased plasmatic values of cholesterol, triglycerides, and HDL in plasma. However, the oxidative stress balance varied across different years, with individuals raised in 2014 showing higher values of Vitamin E and lower values of LDH compared to those raised in 2013. Furthermore, the impact of landfills on certain oxidative stress parameters also depended on the year of study. In 2013, the Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) of plasma showed a positive correlation with the distance to landfills, while the concentration of Malondialdehyde (MDA), an indicator of lipid peroxidation, exhibited a negative correlation. These findings suggest that the use of landfills as a food resource has a consistently positive effect on the nutritional status of white stork nestling. However, the relationship with oxidative stress is highly dependent on the climatic conditions of each year, emphasizing the importance of considering these factors when evaluating the use of landfills as a food resource.
