Fernandes, Paulo; Cano-Díaz, Concha; Pinto, Rui; Mourão, Isabel; Brito, Luís Miguel; Moura, LuísaPhotoselective nets in agriculture are typically designed to modify the light spectrum, intensity, and microclimate around crops, influencing plant growth, productivity, and quality. However, knowledge regarding their impact on the microbiota of plants and fruits remains limited. This study assessed the impact of pearl, grey, and yellow photoselective nets on the microbial communities present on kiwifruit surfa...
Evaluation of asian hornet (Vespa velutina) trappability in Alto-Minho, Portuga...
Mata, Fernando; Alonso, Joaquim Mamede; Cano-Díaz, ConchaTrapping the Asian hornet remains a viable alternative to monitor its presence, dispersion, and ecological niche. With the objective of evaluating the effectiveness of baits and traps, an Asian hornet (Vespa velutina) capture trial was conducted using combinations of artisanal and commercial baits and traps. The second objective was to explore the relationship between the species’ dispersal patterns and the inf...

Mata, Fernando; Cano-Díaz, Concha; Jesus, MeiriellyThe European Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has evolved over the years, and climate change mitigation and sustainability were recently added as objectives to the policy. This sustainability policy includes subsidies for farmers. The success of EU policies relies on positive public perception. This study aimed to investigate Europeans' perception of EU sustainability subsidies. This analysis was complemented b...

Mata, Fernando; Dos-Santos, Maria; Cano-Díaz, Concha; Jesus, Meirielly; Vaz-Velho, ManuelaThe scientific community has reached a consensus on humans’ important role as causative agents of climate change; however, branches of society are still sceptical about this. Climate change is a key issue for humanity and only the commitment to change human attitudes and lifestyles, at the global level, can be effective in its mitigation. With this purpose, it is important to convey the right message and preven...

Delgado-Baquerizo, Manuel; Eldridge, David J.; Liu, Yu-Rong; Sokoya, Blessing; Wang, Jun-Tao; Hu, Hang-Wei; He, Ji-Zheng; Bastida, FelipeThe structure and function of the soil microbiome of urban greenspaces remain largely undetermined. We conducted a global field survey in urban greenspaces and neighboring natural ecosystems across 56 cities from six continents, and found that urban soils are important hotspots for soil bacterial, protist and functional gene diversity, but support highly homogenized microbial communities worldwide. Urban greens...
