The ADnet Bayesian belief network for alder decline: Integrating empirical data...
Gomes Marques, Inês; Vieites-Blanco, Cristina; Rodríguez-González, Patricia M.; Segurado, Pedro; Marques, Marlene; Barrento, Maria J.The globalization in plant material trading has caused the emergence of invasive pests in many ecosystems, such as the alder pathogen Phytophthora ×alni in European riparian forests. Due to the ecological importance of alder to the functioning of rivers and the increasing incidence of P. ×alni-induced alder decline, effective and accessible decision tools are required to help managers and stakeholders control t...
Phenotypic variation and genetic diversity in European Alnus species
Gomes Marques, Inês; Vieites-Blanco, Cristina; Barrento, Maria J; Semedo, José N; Rodrigues, Ana P; Scotti-Campos, Paula; Martín, M AngelaThe recent taxonomic distinction between the European common alder species Alnus glutinosa and A. lusitanica strengthens the need for studies on phenotypic and genetic variation. Understanding such variations requires the use of populations encompassing the total latitudinal distribution and environmental envelope of the distribution range of A. glutinosa and A. lusitanica. This study aims to describe the genet...
Genetic variability on worldwide populations of the scale insect Pulvinariella ...
Vieites-Blanco, Cristina; Paulo, Octávio S.; Marabuto, Eduardo; Lema, MargaritaThe South African scale insect Pulvinariella mesembryanthemi was introduced worldwide in several coastal areas with Mediterranean climate, probably through infested plants of Carpobrotus sp. Its high host specificity and its capacity to produce severe damages in the invasive Carpobrotus sp. plants makes this insect a potential biocontrol agent. To test the efficiency and host range of insects used for biocontro...
