Francesc Español
"Pasaron seis años desde que Francesc Español descubrió lo que parecía una nueva especie de coleóptero cavernícola hasta que Jeannel lo corroboró bautizándolo como Speophilus españoli. Fue el impulso definitivo que centró su interés por la zoología en la entomología. Una faceta con la que llegó a Baleares en los años 30 para catalogar el universo de endemismos de las cuevas pitiusas.
La vocación de Francesc Español estaba clara desde su adolescencia. Nació en Valls (Tarragona) en 1907 y ya cuando estudiaba Bachillerato en la misma localidad, empezó a interesarse por los insectos. Su colección de coleópteros y hemípteros llegaba a las cuarenta cajas, material que años después iría a parar al Museo de Zoología de Barcelona.
Poco después se centraría en el estudio de la fauna cavernícola. Tenía sólo 17 años cuando, en 1924 y en la cueva de Traça (Tarragona), descubriría su primera nueva especie. El ejemplar fue enviado al entomólogo francés René Jeannel al Museo Nacional de Historia Natural de París. El experto tardaría seis años en confirmar el hallazgo y bautizarlo como Speophilus españoli. La espera no desanimó a Español. Aquel mismo año comenzó a colaborar con el Museo de Zoología de Barcelona, y ni siquiera durante su servicio militar en Marruecos, de 1926 a 1929, cesó en su recolección de insectos. Cuando entró en la universidad de Barcelona en 1931 se decantó por Farmacia, sus estudios de entomología continuaron en la Institución Catalana d’Història Natural. (...)"

NORTHERN KARST SYSTEMS IN OUR CHANGING ENVIRONMENT
International Conference dedicated to the 300th Anniversary of the birth of M.V. Lomonosov
'NORTHERN KARST SYSTEMS IN OUR CHANGING ENVIRONMENT'
to be held 5-10 September 2011
The International Conference 'Northern karst systems in our changing environment' will focus on the problems of northern karst territories, their natural character, details of their genesis and geography, structure and dynamics of karst system components, research on cave glaciation, changes in karst systems under the impact of global climate change and the issues of karst landscape and cave conservation. The conference will be held at the State Nature Reserve «Pinezhsky» near the small town of Pinega in the north of Russia, Arkhangelsk area. During the field excursions participants will be able to see the local gypsum-karst landscape and caves that are the world’s single example of north-taiga gypsum karst.
