Nutritional and microbial quality of edible insect powder from plant-based indu...

Edible insect powder, particularly from the cricket Acheta domesticus L., is a promising sustainable alternative to traditional livestock-derived protein. Insects provide high protein content, fibre, and essential minerals, making them suitable for food applications. This study investigates the viability of alternative diets for rearing A. domesticus. Two experimental diets were tested: RI [50% horticultural by...

Influence of different pruning solutions in kernel production of a super high d...

The success of the super high density (SHD) system on olive production has been extended to almond orchards, where it is necessary to ensure adequate canopy dimensions for over-the-row harvesting machines. In an almond orchard from Soleta cultivar planted in September 2014 at Herdade da Torre das Figueiras in Monforte, Portalegre, Portugal (39°04’N, 07°29’W), a trial to evaluate different pruning solutions was ...

The silent extinction of freshwater mussels in Portugal

Freshwater mussels are one of the most threatened animal groups in the world. In the European Union, threatened and protected mussel species are not adequately monitored, while species considered to be common and widespread receive even less attention. This is particularly worrying in the Mediterranean region, where species endemism is high and freshwater habitats are severely affected by water scarcity. In the...

Livro Vermelho dos Invertebrados de Portugal Continental

As listas vermelhas são globalmente reconhecidas, pelos gestores, comunidade científica e público em geral, como um importante instrumento para a gestão ativa e eficiente das espécies e dos habitats. Ao contribuírem para a identificação de prioridades de conservação, assumem um papel preponderante como ferramenta de apoio à tomada de decisão e na definição de estratégias e ações de conservação. Nesta perspetiva...

Predicting climatic threats to an endangered freshwater mussel in Europe: The n...

The freshwater pearl mussel Margaritifera margaritifera has been suffering major population declines in Europe. This endangered species is a host specialist and exclusively requires salmonid species (Salmo trutta and Salmo salar) to complete its life cycle. In theory, obligatory biotic interactions should deserve special conservation attention, because the loss or massive decline of fish hosts may elicit the ex...

Shaping Clinical Reasoning.

Clinical reasoning is at the core of all health-related professions, and it is long recognized as a critical skill for clinical practice. Yet, it is difficult to characterize it, as clinical reasoning combines different high-thinking abilities. Also, it is not content that is historically taught or learned in a particular subject. But clinical reasoning became increasingly visible when this competency is explic...

Supporting creativity: With emergent shapes in shape grammars

This paper describes a computational infrastructure used to support creative design in detecting emergent shapes in the specific context of shape grammar implementation. Shape grammars have been used to represent the knowledge behind the creative work of architects, designers and artists. This kind of grammars are inherently visual and they allow the implementation of computational mechanisms to either synthesi...

Livro Vermelho dos Invertebrados de Portugal Continental

O Livro Vermelho dos Invertebrados de Portugal Continental surge, pois, como uma obra necessária e fundamental para identificar, objetivamente e com rigor, as espécies de invertebrados que se encontram ameaçadas de extinção no nosso país. Este livro, e tudo o que ele representa, dá continuidade ao esforço de sistematização do conhecimento da biodiversidade nacional e de identificação de prioridades de conservaç...
