New Additions to the Mammal List Documented in the Portuguese Red Data Book
Mathias, Marua da Luz; Mira, António; Joaquim, Tapisso; Pita, Ricardo; Neves, Tomé; Cabral, João Alexandre; Barros, Paulo; Rainho, AnaThis study outlines the procedures used for collecting, processing, and categorizing data on 16 new mammal species for mainland Portugal, belonging to four taxonomic groups: Eulipotyphla (1), Chiroptera (4), Rodentia (2), and Cetacea (9). Data collection and processing encompassed field and lab work and bibliographic compilation. Data categorization involves, whenever possible, the assessment of the approximate...

Livro Vermelho dos Mamíferos de Portugal Continental
Mathias, Maria da Luz; Fonseca, Carlos; Rodrigues, Luísa; Grilo, Clara; Lopes-Fernandes, Margarida; Palmeirim, Jorge; Santos-Reis, MargaridaA publicação deste Livro Vermelho, o primeiro inteiramente dedicado aos mamíferos, teve a ambição de ir bastante além do seu objetivo central – avaliar o risco de extinção das espécies de Portugal Continental. Entre os objetivos suplementares deste projeto incluem-se: (i) compilar toda a informação existente sobre a ocorrência de mamíferos no território nacional, como dados museológicos, resultados de censos e ...
MAMMALS IN PORTUGAL: A data set of terrestrial, volant, and marine mammal occur...
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...

First detection of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato DNA in wild boars
Faria, Ana Sofia; Paiva-Cardoso, Maria da Neves; Nunes, Mónica; Carreira, Teresa; Vale-Gonçalves, Hélia Marisa; Veloso, Octávia; Coelho, CatarinaLyme borreliosis (LB) is the most common tick-borne zoonosis in northern hemisphere, but in Portugal, despite being a notifiable disease it remains under-diagnosed and reported. This emerging disease is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex spirochetes, transmitted through the bite of infected Ixodes genus ticks, particularly I. ricinus, the main vector in Europe. Several vertebrates serve as hosts ...
Leptospiral antibodies in sera of fish from the Ave river: preliminary results
Nunes-Pereira, Margarida; Varandas, Simone; Teixeira, Amílcar; Faria, Ana Sofia; Cabral, João Alexandre; Cortes, Rui M.V.Leptospirosis is a zoonosis with world distribution, caused by infection with pathogenic spirochetes of the genus Leptospira. Leptospires’ natural habitat is the kidney of infected animals, being disseminated via urine to the environment, where they survive outside the host in fresh water or moist soils. Thus, leptospirosis is associated with activities such as fish farming, animal and agricultural production a...
Long-term sustainability of cork oak agro-forests in the Iberian Peninsula: A m...
Arosa, Maria Luísa; Bastos, Rita; Cabral, João Alexandre; Freitas, Helena; Costa, Sofia R.; Santos, MárioThe future of the montado, a human shaped agro-forestry ecosystem of South Western Europe, is questioned due to the observed lack of cork oak health and low natural regeneration. We developed a System Dynamics Modelling approach to predict the long-term sustainability of this agro-forest, by recreating cork-oak population dynamics, management practices and the main environmental and biological constrains associ...
Do the passerine traits’ dynamic patterns indicate the ecological status of agr...
Mulatu, Tilahun; Bastos, Rita; Santos, Mário; Sousa, José Paulo; Silva, Pedro Martins da; Cabral, João AlexandreContext The ‘‘Montado’’, a human shaped oak agro-forestry dominated landscape of South Western Europe has been experiencing series of changes following the implementation of different agricultural policies. Such changes are responsible for shifting the structure and composition of ‘‘Montado’’ landscape and hence the biodiversity of the system, either by agriculture abandonment or intensification. Traditional oa...
