Effect of anthropic disturbances on the activity pattern of two generalist meso...
Teixeira, Daniela F.; Ares-Pereira, Guilherme; Camarinha, Cláudia; Lima, Cátia; Magalhães, Ana; Castro, Guilherme; Fonseca, Carlos; Rosalino, L. M.Humans have been altering the Mediterranean landscapes for millennia. To diminish the probability of encounters with domestic animals, humans and their activities, many species adjust their behavior to become more nocturnal. Even habitat-generalist species, such as red fox and stone marten that are somehow tolerant to environmental changes, might be affected by anthropic disturbances. Nevertheless, only a small...
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...
Even generalist and resilient species are affected by anthropic disturbance: ev...
Rosalino, L. M.; Teixeira, Daniela; Camarinha, Cláudia; Pereira, Guilherme; Magalhães, Ana; Castro, Guilherme; Lima, Cátia; Fonseca, CarlosHumans have negatively impacted most ecosystems on Earth, altering how species use habitats and resources available to them, but also their circadian rhythms. Among many factors affecting animal activity patterns, conversion of native habitat into production forests and hunting are critical, and their impacts may be exacerbated by seasonal weather conditions. Both these factors are issues in Mediterranean Europ...
Drivers of occupancy patterns for the red fox, Vulpes vulpes, in Mediterranean ...
Castro, Guilherme; Teixeira, Daniela; Ares-Pereira, Guilherme; Lima, Cátia; Magalhães, Ana; Camarinha, Cláudia; Guillera‐Arroita, GurutzetaThe replacement of natural areas with forestry plantations is a worldwide expanding process with direct consequences for biodiversity and ecosystem functionality. In the Mediterranean region, Eucalyptus spp. plantations are widespread, forming monospecific landscapes that in Portugal dominate most of its forested areas. The reduction in the availability of native habitats induces important challenges to native ...
Eucalyptus plantations alter spatiotemporal relationships of wild ungulates
Ares-Pereira, Guilherme; Rosalino, L. M.; Teixeira, Daniela; Castro, Guilherme; Magalhães, Ana; Lima, Cátia; Fonseca, Carlos; Torres, Rita TinocoEucalyptus plantations, the second most economically important exotic tree in Europe, cover circa 1,5 million hectares on this continent. However, little is known about their effect on the ecological patterns of widely distributed and increasing populations of wild ungulates. This lack of knowledge jeopardizes our ability to correctly manage these populations in increasingly ubiquitous exotic forests. We aimed ...
Determinants of the relative abundance of rodents in landscapes dominated by Eu...
Teixeira, Daniela; Magalhães, Ana; Ares-Pereira, Guilherme; Lima, Cátia; Castro, Guilherme; Camarinha, Cláudia; Fonseca, Carlos; Rosalino, L. M.Forestry plantations have increased considerably over recent decades to fulfil human demand for wood, pulp and paper. Eucalyptus globulus Labill is one of the most abundant plantation species, particularly in Europe, where its largest presence is in Portugal. Furthermore, plantations in Mediterranean areas, such as Portugal, frequently suffer from forest fires, and thus it is crucial to understand their impacts...
