Monitoring of mercury in the mesopelagic domain of the Pacific and Atlantic oce...
Furtado, Ricardo; Granadeiro, José Pedro; Gatt, Marie C.; Rounds, Rachel; Horikoshi, Kazuo; Paiva, Vitor H.; Menezes, Dilia; Pereira, EduardaGlobal mercury pollution has markedly and consistently grown over the past 70 years (although with regional variations in trends) and is a source of major concern. Mercury contamination is particularly prevalent in biota of the mesopelagic layers of the open ocean, but these realms are little studied, and we lack a large scale picture of contamination in living organisms of this region. The Bulwer's petrel Bulw...

Trace elements’ reference levels in blood of breeding black-browed albatrosses ...
Furtado, Ricardo; Granadeiro, J. P.; Campioni, Letizia; Silva, Mónica; Pereira, Eduarda; Catry, PauloTrace elements' concentration in the ocean is fast growing and is a source of major concern. Being charismatic and at the top of food chains, seabirds are often used as biological monitors of contaminants. We studied the concentration of trace elements in blood of black-browed albatross from the Falklands Islands, which we here show, by tracking with geolocators, forage over most of the Patagonian Shelf. Levels...

Body feather mercury and arsenic concentrations in five species of seabirds fro...
Furtado, Ricardo; Pereira, Maria Eduarda; Granadeiro, José Pedro; Catry, PauloSeveral pollutants, including heavy metals, magnify along the food chain, and top predators such as seabirds can be used to monitor their trends in the marine environment. We studied mercury and arsenic contamination in body feathers in penguins, petrels and cormorants in three islands of the Falklands Islands. There were significant differences among species and sites in the concentration of trace elements in ...
Categorizing ocean conservation targets to avoid a potential false sense of pro...
Horta E Costa, Barbara; Gonçalves, Jorge Manuel Santos; Franco, Gustavo; Erzini, Karim; Furtado, Ricardo; Mateus, Celia; Cadeireiro, EmiliaCurrent international commitments on ocean protection targets include protecting 10% of the ocean through marine protected areas (MPAs) until 2020, while also complying with efficiency and equity requirements. This has led to a race to designate large MPAs, but despite the valid marine conservation efforts, conferring adequate protection is still at risk. While fully protected areas are considered the most effi...
Validation of the Brazilian-Portuguese version of the Gesture Behavior Test for...
Furtado, Ricardo; Jones, Anamaria; Furtado, Rita NV; Jennings, Fábio; Natour, JamilOBJECTIVE: To develop a Brazilian version of the gesture behavior test (GBT) for patients with chronic low back pain. METHODS: Translation of GBT into Portuguese was performed by a rheumatologist fluent in the language of origin (French) and skilled in the validation of questionnaires. This translated version was back-translated into French by a native-speaking teacher of the language. The two translators then ...

Furtado, RicardoOrientador: Saul Barisnik Suslick; Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Geociencias; Resumo: As empresas do setor petrolífero enfrentam na atualidade um clima de competição acirrada em decorrência da volatilidade dos preços do óleo, das margens estreitas de rentabilidade e das restrições ambientais. Neste cenário as firmas devem dispor de ferramentas adequadas para balancear ...
