Movement patterns of the invasive atlantic blue crab in a northeastern atlantic...
Encarnação, João Pedro da Silva; Morais, Pedro; Abecasis, David; Martínez Ramírez, Lucas; Barra, Melissa; Baptista, Vânia; Carere, ClaudioThe movement ecology of invasive species discloses critical information to estimate ecological impacts and inform management policies to control their spread. The Atlantic blue crab Callinectes sapidus Rathbun, 1896, has successfully invaded coastal and estuarine ecosystems in southern Europe, making it urgent to understand fundamental aspects of its ecology in the non-native range. Recent studies identified ke...
Blackfordia virginica in non-native distribution range: A potential food Source...
Cruz, Mariana; e Sousa de Aguilar Dias, Sofia Ester; Custódio, Luísa; Encarnação, João Pedro da Silva; Cruz, Joana; Baptista, Vânia; Teodosio, MariaThe seasonal occurrence of the Black Sea jellyfish Blackfordia virginica Mayer, 1910 blooms is a reason of concern in the Guadiana estuary in the South of Portugal (South-West Europe), causing considerable economic and ecological impacts to fisheries. Due to jellyfish biochemical properties, they may represent an opportunity as an alternative food source for humans. In this context, this work evaluated the nutr...
Applying ecohydrology to promote a nature-based solution
Teodosio, Maria; Faria, Silvana; Baptista, Vânia; Wolanski, EricThis chapter aims to develop an ecohydrological modelling approach to propose an environmental engineering solution based on historical nature-based information to alleviate the severe water degradation problem within Luanda Bay, Angola. This solution would improve local communities' ecosystem health and quality of life. The model suggests a simple and practical solution to solving the pollution problem by open...
Dynamics of Decapoda larvae communities in a southwest Iberian estuary: Underst...
Monteiro, Marta; Cruz, Joana; Azeiteiro, Ulisses; Marques, Sónia Cotrim; Baptista, Vânia; Teodosio, Maria AlexandraEnvironmental conditions play a pivotal role in shaping the dynamics of meroplanktonic communities, which represent a vital life stage, crucial for successful recruitment. Specifically, temperature can impact the survival and duration of larval development in decapod crustacean species. The objective of this study is to analyze the community of decapod larvae in the Guadiana estuary, located in southwest Iberia...

A glimpse into the trophic ecology of deep‐water sharks in an important crustac...
Graça Aranha, Sofia; Teodosio, MA; Baptista, Vânia; Erzini, Karim; Dias, EsterDeep-water sharks are among the most vulnerable deep-water taxa because of their extremely conservative life-history strategies (i.e., late maturation, slow growth, and reproductive rates), yet little is known about their biology and ecology. Thus, this study aimed at investigating the trophic ecology of five deep-water shark species, the birdbeak dogfish (Deania calcea), the arrowhead (D. profundorum), the smo...
Environmental variability and fishing effects on artisanal flatfish fisheries a...
Baptista, Vânia; Blasco, Ignacio Pérez; Bueno-Pardo, Juan; Teodosio, Maria; Leitão, FranciscoAssessing the effects of fishing activity and environmental variability on fishing species might help to understand their fluctuations and to manage them accordingly. However, despite the increasing number of studies linking fisheries and environmental data, few had a multi-species approach considering flatfish species and different age groups. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effects of environmenta...
Characterization of Small-Scale Fishing Activity in Luanda Bay (Angola)
Faria, Silvana; Macuéria, Marisa; Mosley, Benjamin A.; Teodósio, M. Alexandra; Baptista, VâniaLuanda Bay, the second largest bay and one of the most important ecosystems of the Angolan coast, supports many human activities. This bay supports a range of marine biodiversity that serves as a means of livelihood and source of income for more than fifty small-scale artisanal fisheries and collectors of worms and bivalve molluscs. The present study is the first record of this fishing activ...

Invasive fish keeps native feeding strategy despite high niche overlap with a c...
Cerveira, Inês; Dias, Ester; Baptista, Vânia; Teodosio, Maria; Morais, PedroWeakfish Cynoscion regalis (Bloch and Schneider, 1801) is one of the most recent invasive fish in the Iberian Peninsula (Europe). Weakfish has established in the Sado estuary (Portugal) since the early 2010s, and fishers and anglers have expressed concern about its impacts on native prize fish. However, almost a decade later, there is no information on the ecology of weakfish in the non-native area. So, we aime...
