Duration, but not bottle volume, affects Phytoplankton Community Structure and ...
B. Domingues, Rita; Mosley, Benjamin A.; Nogueira, Patricia; Maia, Inês Beatriz; B. Barbosa, AnaIt is generally assumed that the larger the bottle volume, the longer the duration of phytoplankton microcosm experiments. We hypothesize that volume and duration are independent, as volume does not regulate the extension of the exponential growth phase. We conducted two microcosm experiments using 1, 2, and 8 L bottles, inoculated with phytoplankton collected in the Ria Formosa lagoon (SE Portugal) and incubat...
Seasonal and spatial variability of Phytoplankton primary production in a shall...
B. Domingues, RitaCoastal lagoons are among the most productive ecosystems in the world, and they provide a wide range of ecosystem services and resources. In the Ria Formosa (southern Portugal), phytoplankton production has rarely been addressed. The main goal of this study is thus to evaluate the variability of phytoplankton production and photosynthetic characteristics over the seasonal cycle and in different locations (landw...
Orthorexia nervosa in yoga practitioners: relationship with personality, attitu...
B. Domingues, Rita; Carmo, CláudiaPurpose Disordered eating symptoms and a high prevalence of orthorexia nervosa can be found in yoga practitioners. Given that yoga is increasingly used as a complementary treatment for eating disorders (ED), understanding the relationship between yoga practice and the development of disordered eating is crucial to guide treatment recommendations. The goal of this work is, therefore, to study the relationships b...
Assessing environmental attitudes in Portugal using a new short version of the ...
B. Domingues, Rita; Gonçalves, GabrielaMost environmental problems are caused and/or enhanced by human behaviour; thus, it is crucial to understand environmental attitudes that underlie individual's behaviour towards the environment. In Portugal, a highly vulnerable region to environmental change and serious local-scale natural hazards, environmental attitudes have never been systematically addressed. Therefore, the main goal of this study is to eva...
Assessing Stakeholders’ Risk Perceptions in a Vulnerable Coastal Tourism Destin...
B. Domingues, Rita; Costas, Susana; Neves de Jesus, Saul; Ferreira, ÓscarEffective coastal management is essential in regions where tourism is a main economic activity. However, poor communication and disagreement between stakeholders hamper the way decisions are conveyed to residents and home/business owners, potentially affecting economic development. We analysed managers and scientists’ views regarding risk perceptions of Faro Beach (Algarve) residents, contri...

SENSE OF PLACE, RISK PERCEPTIONS AND PREPAREDNESS OF A COASTAL POPULATION AT RI...
B. Domingues, Rita; Costas, Susana; de Jesus, Saul Neves; Ferreira, ÓscarFaro Beach, a heavily urbanized settlement in Ria Formosa, southern Portugal, is highly vulnerable to coastal hazards, namely beach erosion and overwashes caused by storms, that have resulted in house and road damage on several occasions. Despite the risks, local residents accept to live there. Four semi-structured interviews were conducted to understand residents’ beliefs, risk perceptions and preparedness reg...
