Distinctive genetic signatures of two fairy shrimp species with overlapping ran...

Temporary lentic water bodies host biotic assemblages adapted to the transient nature of these freshwater habitats. Fairy shrimps (Crustacea, Branchiopoda, Anostraca) are one of the most important biological components of these unique environments and have a fossil record dating back to the Middle Jurassic (>150 million years). Some anostracan species show a geographically restricted distribution, whereas other...

Guia Ilustrado dos Charcos Temporários Mediterrânicos da Costa Sudoeste

Os Charcos Temporários Mediterrânicos são dos habitats mais extraordinários da região Mediterrânica. Este guia pretende contribuir para a disseminação do conhecimento sobre estes habitats frágeis e as espécies neles presentes, ajudando deste modo à sua conservação a longo prazo. O guia está dividido em três capítulos principais (introdução, flora e fauna) e pretende divulgar as espécies mais características e e...

Manual De Boas Práticas Para A Conservação Dos Charcos Temporários Mediterrânicos

Este Manual de Boas Praticas pretende divulgar as medidas de gestão sustentável que permitem compatibilizar as atividades humanas com a proteção dos Charcos Temporários Mediterrânicos.

Assessing the conservation status of Mediterranean temporary ponds using biodiv...

The assessment of the habitat condition is the first step of conservation actions and several tools are available to assess wetlands. However, only a few tools are adapted to the priority habitat Mediterranean temporary ponds. Thus, our objectives were (i) to identify biological indicators associated with the different conservation status of Mediterranean temporary ponds and (ii) to create an efficient evaluati...

Defining the importance of landscape metrics for large branchiopod biodiversity...

The deficiency in the distributional data of invertebrate taxa is one of the major impediments acting on the bias towards the low awareness of its conservation status. The present study sets a basic framework to understand the large branchiopods distribution in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands. Since the extensive surveys performed in the late 1980s, no more studies existed updating the information fo...

Freshwater large branchiopods in Portugal: an update of their distribution

This study is based largely on 20 years of field and laboratory work, with surveys conducted by the authors and some other researchers. During this period several studies dealing with freshwater large branchiopods (FLB) were carried out, resulting in scientific publications and project reports. The distribution of FLB in Portugal was presented in 2 international scientific meetings, but apart from a first paper...
