Effect of anthropic disturbances on the activity pattern of two generalist meso...
Teixeira, Daniela F.; Ares-Pereira, Guilherme; Camarinha, Cláudia; Lima, Cátia; Magalhães, Ana; Castro, Guilherme; Fonseca, Carlos; Rosalino, L. M.Humans have been altering the Mediterranean landscapes for millennia. To diminish the probability of encounters with domestic animals, humans and their activities, many species adjust their behavior to become more nocturnal. Even habitat-generalist species, such as red fox and stone marten that are somehow tolerant to environmental changes, might be affected by anthropic disturbances. Nevertheless, only a small...
Drivers of occupancy patterns for the red fox, Vulpes vulpes, in Mediterranean ...
Castro, Guilherme; Teixeira, Daniela; Ares-Pereira, Guilherme; Lima, Cátia; Magalhães, Ana; Camarinha, Cláudia; Guillera‐Arroita, GurutzetaThe replacement of natural areas with forestry plantations is a worldwide expanding process with direct consequences for biodiversity and ecosystem functionality. In the Mediterranean region, Eucalyptus spp. plantations are widespread, forming monospecific landscapes that in Portugal dominate most of its forested areas. The reduction in the availability of native habitats induces important challenges to native ...
Eucalyptus plantations alter spatiotemporal relationships of wild ungulates
Ares-Pereira, Guilherme; Rosalino, L. M.; Teixeira, Daniela; Castro, Guilherme; Magalhães, Ana; Lima, Cátia; Fonseca, Carlos; Torres, Rita TinocoEucalyptus plantations, the second most economically important exotic tree in Europe, cover circa 1,5 million hectares on this continent. However, little is known about their effect on the ecological patterns of widely distributed and increasing populations of wild ungulates. This lack of knowledge jeopardizes our ability to correctly manage these populations in increasingly ubiquitous exotic forests. We aimed ...
Determinants of the relative abundance of rodents in landscapes dominated by Eu...
Teixeira, Daniela; Magalhães, Ana; Ares-Pereira, Guilherme; Lima, Cátia; Castro, Guilherme; Camarinha, Cláudia; Fonseca, Carlos; Rosalino, L. M.Forestry plantations have increased considerably over recent decades to fulfil human demand for wood, pulp and paper. Eucalyptus globulus Labill is one of the most abundant plantation species, particularly in Europe, where its largest presence is in Portugal. Furthermore, plantations in Mediterranean areas, such as Portugal, frequently suffer from forest fires, and thus it is crucial to understand their impacts...
