Shipping Patterns at the Port of Sines: A Temporal Analysis from 2010 to 2023
Batista, Teresa; Rosa, Luís; Borges, Francisco; Isbaex, Crismeire; Martins, SamuelThis study focuses on an analysis of the dwell time of vessels in the Port of Sines jurisdiction area, between 2010 and 2023, as an indicator of operational efficiency, with the objective of analyzing the temporal patterns of vessel movements at the Port of Sines, aiming to understand how efficient the operations are. This research will enable the extraction of meaningful patterns from temporal data and the add...
Impacts of climate change on cephalopods
Borges, FranciscoThe global Ocean is absorbing excessive atmospheric heat energy and carbon dioxide, and the resulting physicochemical changes are significantly impacting marine life at different levels of biological organization worldwide. Among marine species, cephalopods are renowned for their high phenotypic flexibility and consequent environmental plasticity. These characteristics have led the scientific community to consi...
Global patterns of species richness in coastal cephalopods
Rosa, Rui; Pissarra, Vasco; Borges, Francisco; Xavier, José; Gleadall, Ian G.; Golikov, Alexey; Bello, Giambattista; Morais, Liliane; Lishchenko, FedorWithin the context of global climate change and overfishing of fish stocks, there is some evidence that cephalopod populations are benefiting from this changing setting. These invertebrates show enhanced phenotypic flexibility and are found from polar regions to the tropics. Yet, the global patterns of species richness in coastal cephalopods are not known. Here, among the 370 identified-species, 164 are octopus...
Hypercapnia-induced disruption of long-distance mate-detection and reduction of...
Borges, Francisco; Sampaio, Eduardo; Figueiredo, Cátia; Rosa, Rui; F. Grilo, TiagoOcean acidification (OA) has been shown to disrupt behavioural responses either by affecting metabolic processes, or by effectively impairing an organisms' ability to gather and assess information and make decisions. Given the lack of information regarding the effects of high CO2 on olfactory-mediated mating behaviours in crustaceans, the possible chemosensory disruption in male mate-tracking in the keystone am...
Transgenerational deleterious effects of ocean acidification on the reproductiv...
Borges, Francisco; Figueiredo, Cátia; Sampaio, Eduardo; Rosa, Rui; F. Grilo, TiagoOcean acidification (OA) poses a global threat to marine biodiversity. Notwithstanding, marine organisms may maintain their performance under future OA conditions, either through acclimation or evolutionary adaptation. Surprisingly, the transgenerational effects of high CO2 exposure in crustaceans are still poorly understood. For the first time, the present study investigated the transgenerational effect of OA,...
Carga de Treino e Percepção de Esforço em Natação Pura Desportiva: uso de escal...
Rama, Luís; Borges, Francisco; Cartaxo, Tiago; Teixeira, Ana MariaSão diversificadas as abordagens feitas no sentido de monitorizar a adaptação às cargas de treino e competição a que os atletas são sujeitos no âmbito da preparação desportiva. Com frequência recorre-se a metodologias invasivas no entanto o uso da percepção fundamentado na capacidade desenvolvida no ser humano de autoavaliar o nível do esforço tem ganho espaço no universo do controlo do treino (Borg, 2000). A p...
