LIFE INVASAQUA - AQUATIC INVASIVE ALIEN SPECIES OF FRESHWATER AND ESTUARINE SYS...
Oliva-Paterna, F.; Olivo del Amo, R.; López-Cañizares, C.; Guillén-Beltrán, A.; Torralva, M.; Anastácio, Pedro; Banha, Filipe; Brandão, PedroThe Spanish and Portuguese societies have a limited understanding of the threats posed by invasive alien species (IAS) in aquatic ecosystems. This gap of knowledge and awareness about IAS problems hampers any policy proposed by administrations and stakeholders, contributing to missing an IAS management strategy. We present the final results, impacts and some learned lessons achieved in the Environmental Governa...

Conservation Challenges Imposed by Evolutionary History and Habitat Suitability...
Gama, Mafalda; Banha, Filipe; Anastácio, PedroClimate change and associated shifts in temperature and precipitation patterns have become an increasing concern as drivers of ongoing biodiversity loss. The Mediterranean region is particularly vulnerable, being both a biodiversity hotspot and a region very prone to desertification. Freshwater mussels are amongst the most threatened invertebrate taxa worldwide. Unio tumidiformis is an endemic and endangered sp...
Angler’s preferences, perceptions and practices regarding non-native freshwater...
Banha, Filipe Miguel Santos; Anastácio, PedroIt is globally recognized that freshwater anglers can have a decisive role in promoting fish introductions. The aim of this study was to analyze freshwater anglers’ actions and perceptions regarding fish introductions, comparing two distinct situations, one with recently arrived non-natives fishes and another with older fish introductions, using the Iberian Peninsula as a case study. To achieve this goal, a bil...
A Comprehensive Review of Disease-Causing Agents in Freshwater Turtles: Implica...
Banha, Filipe Miguel Santos; Anastácio, Pedro; Rato, João; Harris, D.J.; Xavier, RaquelFreshwater turtles comprise 81% of all chelonian species despite freshwater systems only occupying 1% of the earth’s surface, and they are commonly exploited as pets and food resources. This contact between humans and turtles may put both sides at risk of disease transmission. Additionally, human impact on ecosystems can cause disease outbreaks in turtle populations. In this review, we focused on disease agents...
First records of Mauremys sinensis in Portugal: a consequence of inadequate pol...
Banha, Filipe Miguel Santos; Anastácio, Pedro; Rato, João; Brandão, PedroCommercial success of a pet species predicts its invasiveness, making the most traded species more likely to become introduced. Turtles are among the most traded species, making it critical to monitor their introduction, and in Portugal several invasive turtle species have been detected in nature. This study reports the first official record of Mauremys sinensis and lists its unofficial records in Portugal. Thi...
Water quality assessment of a hydro-agricultural reservoir in a Mediterranean R...
Catarino, Adriana; Martins, Inês; Mourinha, Clarisse; Santos, João; Anastácio, Pedro; Tomaz, Alexandra; Palma, PatríciaIn regions where drought has become a common occurrence for most of the year and where agriculture is the main economic activity, the development of hydro-agricultural systems has made it possible to improve water management. Despite this, the intensification of agriculture combined with climate change leads to a potential decrease in water quality and water management practices are essential to improve agro-en...
