Integrative taxonomy clarifies the evolution of a cryptic primate clade
Elst, Tobias van; Sgarlata, Gabriele M.; Schüßler, Dominik; Tiley, George P.; Poelstra, Jelmer W.; Scheumann, Marina; Blanco, Marina B.Global biodiversity is under accelerating threats, and species are succumbing to extinction before being described. Madagascar’s biota represents an extreme example of this scenario, with the added complication that much of its endemic biodiversity is cryptic. Here we illustrate best practices for clarifying cryptic diversification processes by presenting an integrative framework that leverages multiple lines o...

LC–MS-MS-MS3 for the determination and quantification of ∆9-tetrahydrocannabino...
Proença, Paula; Teixeira, Helena; Martinho, Beatriz; Monteiro, Carla; Franco, João; Corte-Real, FranciscoDue to the high prevalence of cannabinoids in forensic toxicology analysis, it is crucial to have an efficient method that allows the use of a small sample amount and that requires a minimal sample preparation for the determination and quantification of low concentrations. A simple, highly selective and high throughput liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry methodology (LC–MS-MS-MS3) was developed for t...

Nascimento, Luís; Midões, Cristiana; Pinto, Isabel C.; Teixeira, Helena; Queirós, Patrícia; Martins, SandraOs estimulantes cerebrais são frequentemente utilizados por jovens estudantes que pretendem aumentar o desempenho cognitivo, mas também serem capazes de manter alerta e despertos por mais tempo. O objetivo do presente estudo foi caracterizar os hábitos de consumo de estimulantes cerebrais pelos alunos do Instituto Politécnico de Bragança (IPB), motivos e fatores associados. Realizou-se um estudo descritivo-corr...
