Marine invasions in a warming Macaronesia : understanding diversity and connect...
Castro, NunoThe introduction of Non-Indigenous Species (NIS) is a global phenomenon with devastating consequences for biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human well-being. This thesis aims to unravel the complexities of NIS dynamics, offering insights into their effects and increasing the comprehensive understanding of these crucial ecological phenomena within the context of climate change in the marine environment of Ma...
Maldizendo: notas para uma estética da ironia e da sátira na literatura portuguesa
Pucarinho, Inês; Castro, NunoIntroduzimos algumas das características discursivas gerais das formas humorísticas e, a partir destas, analisámos textos de vários contextos periodológicos da história cultural e literária, procurando definir de que modo a ironia se verte em texto literário, em objeto artístico, e qual ou quais as especificidades do humor na literatura nacional. Trata-se, assim, de uma apresentação que aborda textos especifica...
Diversity and patterns of marine non-native species in the archipelagos of Maca...
Castro, Nuno; Carlton, James T.; Costa, Ana C.; Marques, Carolina S.; Hewitt, Chad L.; Cacabelos, Eva; Lopes, Evandro; Gizzi, FrancescaAims The present study is the first attempt to grasp the scale and richness of marine biological invasions in Macaronesia. We pioneered a comprehensive non-native species (NNS), inventory in the region to determine their diversity patterns and native distribution origins. NNS were defined here as the result of both introductions and range expansions. We also used statistical modelling to examine relationships a...
A Roadmap for HEP Software and Computing R&D for the 2020s
Albrecht, Johannes; Alves, Antonio Augusto; Amadio, Guilherme; Andronico, Giuseppe; Anh-Ky, Nguyen; Aphecetche, Laurent; Apostolakis, John; Asai, MakotoMade available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:27:31Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-12-01; Particle physics has an ambitious and broad experimental programme for the coming decades. This programme requires large investments in detector hardware, either to build new facilities and experiments, or to upgrade existing ones. Similarly, it requires commensurate investment in the R&D of software to...
From plates to baits: using a remote video foraging system to study the impact ...
Chebaane, Sahar; Canning-Clode, João; Ramalhosa, Patrício; Belz, Janina; Castro, Nuno; Órfão, Inês; Sempere-Valverde, Juan; Engelen, AschwinMarinas are a gateway for the introduction and establishment of non-indigenous species (NIS). In these habitats, competition and predation are crucial determinants for NIS establishment and invasiveness. However, fish trophic preferences and biotic effects inside marinas are poorly known. This study proposes a novel method that combines the deployment of settlement plates to recruit different assemblages, follo...
A new signal of tropicalization in the Northeast Atlantic: the spread of the sp...
Castro, Nuno; Schäfer, Susanne; Parretti, Paola; Monteiro, João Gama; Gizzi, Francesca; Chebaane, Sahar; Almada, Emanuel; Henriques, FilipeCurrent trends in the global climate facilitate the displacement of numerous marine species from their native distribution ranges to higher latitudes when facing warming conditions. In this work, we analyzed occurrences of a circumtropical reef fish, the spotfin burrfish, Chilomycterus reticulatus (Linnaeus, 1958), in the Madeira Archipelago (NE Atlantic) between 1898 and 2021. In addition to available data sou...
Before and after a disease outbreak: tracking a keystone species recovery from ...
Gizzi, Francesca; Jiménez, Jesús; Schäfer, Susane; Castro, Nuno; Costa, Sónia; Lourenço, Sílvia; José, Ricardo; Canning-Clode, João; Monteiro, JoãoMass mortality events involving marine taxa are increasing worldwide. The long-spined sea urchin Diadema africanum is considered a keystone herbivore species in the northeastern Atlantic due to its control over the abundance and distribution of algae. After a first registered mass mortality in 2009, another event off the coasts of Madeira archipelago affected this ecologically important species in summer 2018. ...
Study of the means of online payment in the portuguese population
Castro, Nuno; Santos, Henrique; Sá, Vítor J.; José Magalhães, MariaNowadays it is possible to verify that there is a change in the way of buying, that is, the traditional means of shopping is increasingly giving way to the electronic medium and, consequently, electronic payment means. The Internet, by making it possible to purchase and pay online, through means such as PayPal, Credit Cards, PaySafeCard, among others, has contributed to greater convenience, speed and efficiency...

Polychaete annelids as live bait in Portugal: harvesting activity in brackish w...
Cabral, Sara; Alves, Ana Sofia; Castro, Nuno; Chainho, Paula; Sá, Erica; Fonseca, Luís Cancela da; Costa, Pedro Fidalgo e; Castro, JoãoPolychaete annelids are some of the most heavily harvested invertebrates collected in coastal areas and estuaries for their economic value as live fishing bait or as food supplement in aquaculture activities. However, information on bait digging in Portugal is scarce or incomplete. Thus, the present study aimed at investigating the bait digging activity in the four most relevant brackish water systems in Portug...
