Relatedness reveals a strong road effect on female bat genetic connectivity
Medinas, Denis; Ribeiro, Vera; Barbosa, Soraia; Valerio, Francesco; Marques, João Tiago; Rebelo, Hugo; Paupério, Joana; Santos, Sara MariaThe effective management of species with small and fragmented populations requires an in-depth understanding of how the effects of human-induced habitat disturbance shape the structure and gene flow at fine spatial scales. Identification of putative environmental barriers that affect individual exchange among subpopulations is imperative to prevent extinction risks. Here, we investigated how landscape affects t...

Medinas, Denis; Marques, João Tiago; Ribeiro, Vera; Rebelo, Hugo; Barbosa, Soraia; Valerio, Francesco; Santos, Sara; Mira, AntónioThe understanding of how human-induced habitat disturbance shapes the contemporary population structure and gene flow at a fine-spatial scale is key for adequate management of species with small and fragmented populations and with limited dispersal abilities. To date, there are few studies focusing on how barriers (e.g. roads, habitat fragmentation) might influence gene flow at fine scales. Roads are known for ...
Inferring past refugia and range dynamics through the integration of fossil, ni...
Mestre, Frederico; Barbosa, Soraia; Garrido-García, José António; Pita, Ricardo; Mira, António; Alves, Paulo Célio; Paupério, Joana; Searle, Jeremy B.Aim Reconstructing species' glacial refugial history and demographic changes over time has greatly relied on comparing inferences from multiple methods while not sufficiently acknowledging their limitations. Here, we aim to integrate as fully as possible complementary methods in ecology, genomics and palaeobiology to improve the reconstruction of species biogeographical history. Location South-western Europe. T...
Integrative approaches to guide conservation decisions: Using genomics to defin...
Barbosa, Soraia; Mestre, Frederico; White, Thomas; Paupério, Joana; Alves, Paulo C.; Searle, Jeremy B.Climate change and increasing habitat loss greatly impact species survival, requiring range shifts, phenotypic plasticity and/or evolutionary change for long-term persistence, which may not readily occur unaided in threatened species. Therefore, defining conservation actions requires a detailed assessment of evolutionary factors. Existing genetic diversity needs to be thoroughly evaluated and spatially mapped t...

Grilo, Clara; Afonso, Beatriz C.; Afonso, Filipe; Alexandre, Marta; Aliácar, Sara; Almeida, Ana; Alonso, Ivan Prego; Álvares, Francisco; Alves, PauloMammals are threatened worldwide, with 26% of all species being included in the IUCN threatened categories. This overall pattern is primarily associated with habitat loss or degradation, and human persecution for terrestrial mam mals, and pollution, open net fishing, climate change, and prey depletion for marine mammals. Mammals play a key role in maintaining ecosystems func tionality and resilience, and theref...
