Spring has been described innumerable times by poets, writers and artists as a bursting forth of colours, of life, of joy. It is almost as if nature put on her best dress to pay homage to the good season, to celebrate the end of the cold and arid winter.
In reality, and despite the value of the poetic and aesthetic interpretation of Spring, the frenetic explosion of life that follows the stasis of winter has precise biological motivations that have been carefully examined by scientists.
The totality of the organisms, both animal and vegetal, that populate our planet in a multitude of forms, are the result of long and complex evolutionary processes that have engendered the incredible variety of life on earth which biologists have coined biodiversity.
