Non-threatened primates are often overlooked in conservation efforts despite their increasing vulnerability to local extirpation. Campbell’s (Cercopithecus campbelli) and green monkeys (Chlorocebus sabaeus) are sympatric medium-sized West African guenons (tribe Cercopithecini) whose intraspecific genetic diversity remains understudied in most of their distribution. Both species are ecological generalists and ar...
Food distribution and abundance can affect intra- and inter-dietary variation in non-human primates, influencing feeding ecology and altering behaviour. Natural and/or human-induced actions can influence the dynamics between primates and the environment, with associated impacts on socio-ecology and demography. This relationship in anthropogenic landscapes, however, is poorly understood. Here, we use DNA metabar...

In tropical forests, anthropogenic activities are major drivers of the destruction and degradation of natural habitats, causing severe biodiversity loss. African colobine monkeys (Colobinae) are mainly folivore and strictly arboreal primates that require large forests to subsist, being among the most vulnerable of all nonhuman primates. The Western red colobus Piliocolobus badius and the King colobus Colobus po...
The focus of this study was the didactic value of a resource used in the Biology practical activities performed in the Portuguese secondary education: heuristic V reports. Therefore, the objective was to search its role in meaningful learning, having conducted a content analysis of 41 reports produced by students within an 11th grade Biology class. The reports were individually written, and were part of two lab...
Este estudo incidiu sobre o valor didático de um dos recursos utilizados no contexto das aulas práticas de Biologia do ensino secundário português: o relatório do tipo ‘V de Gowin’. Assim, o objetivo foi investigar o seu papel na realização de aprendizagens significativas, tendo-se procedido à análise de conteúdo de 41 relatórios produzidos pelos alunos de uma turma de Biologia do 11.º ano. Os relatórios foram ...
