The diverse physiography of the Portuguese land and marine territory, spanning from continental Europe to the Atlantic archipelagos, has made it an important repository of biodiversity throughout the Pleistocene glacial cycles, leading to a remarkable diversity of species and ecosystems. This rich biodiversity is under threat from anthropogenic drivers, such as climate change, invasive species, land use changes...
ABSTRACT: A global genome database of all of Earth’s species diversity could be a treasure trove of scientific discoveries. However, regardless of the major advances in genome sequencing technologies, only a tiny fraction of species have genomic information available. To contribute to a more complete planetary genomic database, scientists and institutions across the world have united under the Earth BioGenome P...

Os factos que justificam este julgamento têm crescido de forma significativa nos últimos anos, seja devido a estudos biográficos que sobre ele se fizeram, seja pelo aparecimento de nova documentação primária. Enquanto professor da Universidade de Paris, Melo escreveu diversos comentários a obras de matemá...
