Effective and cost-efficient monitoring of biological invasions under global ch...
Vicente, Joana R.; Alagador, Diogo; Guerra, Carlos; Alonso, Joaquim M.; Kueffer, Christoph; Vaz, Ana S.; Fernandes, Rui F.; Cabral, João A.Ecological monitoring programmes are designed to detect and measure changes in biodiversity and ecosystems. In the case of biological invasions, they can contribute to anticipating risks and adaptively managing invaders. However, monitoring is often expensive because large amounts of data might be needed to draw inferences. Thus, careful planning is required to ensure that monitoring goals are realistically ach...
Dynamic modelling in research and management of biological invasions
Buchadas, Ana; Vaz, Ana S.; Honrado, João P.; Alagador, Diogo; Bastos, Rita; Cabral, João A.; Santos, Mário; Vicente, Joana R.Invasive species are increasing in number, extent and impact worldwide. Effective invasion management has thus become a core socio-ecological challenge. To tackle this challenge, integrating spatial-temporal dynamics of invasion processes with modelling approaches is a promising approach. The inclusion of dynamic processes in such modelling frameworks (i.e. dynamic or hybrid models, here defined as models that ...
Alien plant species: environmental risks in agricultural and agro-forest landsc...
Vicente, Joana R.; Vaz, Ana Sofia; Queiroz, Ana Isabel; Buchadas, Ana R.; Guisan, Antoine; Kueffer, Christoph; Marchante, Elizabete; Marchante, HéliaAlien plant species have been essential for farming and agro-forestry systems and for their supply of food, fiber, tannins, resins or wood from antiquity to the present. They also contributed to supporting functions and regulating services (water, soil, biodiversity) and to the design of landscapes with high cultural and scenic value. Some of those species were intentionally introduced, others arrived accidenta...

Morinha, Francisco; Travassos, Paulo; Seixas, Fernanda; Santos, Nuno; Sargo, Roberto; Sousa, Luis; Magalhães, Paula; Cabral, João A.; Bastos, EstelaHigh-resolution melting (HRM) analysis is a very attractive and flexible advanced post-PCR method with high sensitivity/specificity for simple, fast and cost-effective genotyping based on the detection of specific melting profiles of PCR products. Next generation real-time PCR systems, along with improved saturating DNA-binding dyes, enable the direct acquisition of HRM data after quantitative PCR. Melting beha...
