This text addresses the new personal and professional realities that social isolation has brought, considering the artistic proposal Janelas Afetivas (Affective Windows - 2020), elaborated by COM.6 collective, which proposes a dialogue between different experiences of sharing. We question the intensification of meetings carried out by video conferencing software, taking into account the established relationship...
Notodiaptomus cannarensis sp. n. is described from a reservoir on the Amazonian slope of the Ecuadorian Andes. The new species is unique among diaptomid calanoid copepods in the display of hypertrophied, symmetrical wing-like extensions at each side of the female composite genital somite. Furthermore, it displays a female urosome reduced to only two somites due to the incorporation of abdominal somites III and ...
The present text discusses the power of the body in the Sala dos Milagres (Miracle Room) proposition, it is an artwork that integrates the interdisciplinary Ex-votos project, started in 2017, after the meeting of six arts researchers. The essence of the questioning is in the sense of the corporeal organism in/and during everyday experience, which also reveals, in the diversity of social, cultural and individual...
The deficiency in the distributional data of invertebrate taxa is one of the major impediments acting on the bias towards the low awareness of its conservation status. The present study sets a basic framework to understand the large branchiopods distribution in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands. Since the extensive surveys performed in the late 1980s, no more studies existed updating the information fo...

The Iberian Peninsula harbours 24 taxa of native large branchiopods (LBs). Most of them inhabit Mediterranean temporary ponds, which are priority habitats under the EU Habitats Directive. In this work, Iberian LBs were evaluated using IUCN Red List criteria based on geographic range (extent of occurrence, area of occupancy, number of locations, habitat fragmentation and expected decline). Our results show that ...
Zooplanktons are a keystone in the ecosystem functions transferring energy to higher trophic levels. Moreover, zooplankton community is susceptible to quick responses with changes in the environment. Therefore, this community can be regarded as a valuable indicator of ecological integrity and water quality. Serra Serrada is a mountain meso‐eutrophic reservoir (latitude: 41º57'12''N; longitude: 6º 46' 44''W; alt...
The province of Cadiz (South of Spain) hosts the only known locality in the world of Linderiella baetica Alonso & Garcia-de-Lomas 2009 (Anostraca). In this paper, the geographical distribution of the species based on published sampling data focused on large branchiopods and temporary pools in Andalusia and the entire Iberian Peninsula is assessed. The current situation is summarized based on the threats to thei...
Bosmina (Eubosmina) coregoni Baird, 1857 has been recorded for the first time in the Iberian Peninsula. It is a planktonic cladoceran widely distributed in the Holarctic region which was never previously referred in the Iberian Peninsula in spite of the numerous and intensive studies on freshwater planktonic fauna in this geographic area in the last three decades. The species appeared in five reservoirs located...
Dados paleolimnológicos indicam que o centro de origem de coregoni (Cladocera, Bosminidae) se localiza no Nordeste da De acordo com vários autores esta espécie tem irradiado de centrífuga a partir do seu centro de origem, tendo sido referenciada Alemanha, Polónia, Norte de Itália, Bélgica e Dinamarca. Até 2010, a sua ocorrência na Península Ibérica era desconhecida. Nesse ano foi detectada pela primeira vez em ...
