Invasive fish disrupt host-pathogen dynamics leading to amphibian declines
Rosa, Gonçalo M.; Ayala Botto, Gonçalo; Mitra, Amartya T.; Almeida, João Simões de; Hofmann, Max; Leung, William T.M.; Alves de Matos, António PedroSudden disease outbreaks may not necessarily reflect a recent pathogen introduction but may instead arise from the disruption of a host-pathogen equilibrium. Together with invasive species, emerging pathogens pose significant threats to biodiversity. The dynamics of each stressor have been studied separately, yet rarely when interacting. Using a 40-year dataset, we tested the hypothesis that the introduction of...

Controlo populacional do Elefante Africano : a imunocontracepção
Almeida, João Simões deA imunocontracepção tem sido proposta como possível ferramenta para controlar populações de elefantes que ultrapassem as capacidades do habitat onde vivem. Até à data a única técnica imunocontraceptiva testada em elefantes selvagens foi a vacina contra a zona pelúcida de elefantes fêmea utilizando zona pelúcida porcina (pZP) numa vacina que induz a formação de anticorpos anti-zona pelúcida e consequente bloquei...
