Habitat suitability of two flagship species, hippocampus hippocampus and hippoc...
Peiffer, Friederike; Lima, André R.A.; Henriques, Sofia; Pardal, Miguel; Martinho, Filipe; Gonçalves, Jorge M.S.; Gonçalves, Emanuel J.; Correia, MiguelAnthropogenic pressures on marine ecosystems are increasing worldwide, causing loss of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, and driving species towards risk of extinction. To protect vulnerable species and habitats, Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are increasingly established worldwide as conservation measures. Seahorses act as flagship species for coastal ecosystem conservation due to their charismatic appear...
Early life stage mechanisms of an active fish species to cope with ocean warmin...
Lima, André R.A.; Booms, Emily M.; Lopes, Ana Rita; Martins-Cardoso, Sara; Novais, Sara C; Lemos, Marco F.L.; Ribeiro, Laura; Castanho, SaraOcean’s characteristics are rapidly changing, modifying environmental suitability for early life stages of fish. We assessed whether the chronic effects of warming (24 ◦C) and hypoxia (<2–2.5 mg L− 1 ) will be amplified by the combination of these stressors on mortality, growth, behaviour, metabolism and oxidative stress of early stages of the white seabream Diplodus sargus. Combined warming and hypoxia synergi...
Integrated behavioural and physiological responses of sand smelt larvae to the ...
Lima, André R.A.; Lopes, Ana Rita; Martins-Cardoso, Sara; Moutinho, Ariana B.; Lemos, Marco F.L.; Novais, Sara C; Faria, Ana M.Forecasts indicate that rising temperatures towards the future and the expansion of dead zones will change environmental suitability for fish early stages. Therefore, we assessed the chronic effects of warming (26 ◦C), hypoxia (<2–2.5 mg L− 1 ) or their combination on mortality rate, growth, behaviour, energy metabolism and oxidative stress using Atherina presbyter larvae as a model species. There were no diffe...
Towards a unified eco-evolutionary framework for fisheries management: Coupling...
Baltazar-Soares, Miguel; Lima, André R.A.; Silva, Gonçalo; Gaget, ElieThe establishment of high-throughput sequencing technologies and subsequent large-scale genomic datasets has flourished across fields of fundamental biological sciences. The introduction of genomic resources in fisheries management has been proposed from multiple angles, ranging from an accurate re-definition of geographical limitations of stocks and connectivity, identification of fine-scale stock structure li...
Forecasting shifts in habitat suitability across the distribution range of a te...
Lima, André R.A.; Baltazar-Soares, Miguel; Garrido, Susana; Riveiro, I. (Isabel); Carrera, Pablo; Piecho-Santos, A. Miguel; Peck, Myron; Silva, GonçaloClimate change often leads to shifts in the distribution of small pelagic fish, likely by changing the matchmismatch dynamics between these sensitive species within their environmental optima. Using present-day habitat suitability, we projected how different scenarios of climate change (IPCC Representative Concentration Pathways 2.6, 4.5 and 8.5) may alter the large scale distribution of European sardine Sardin...
Seasonal approach to forecast the suitability of spawning habitats of a tempera...
Lima, André R.A.; Garrido, Susana; Riveiro, I.; Rodrigues, Diana; Angélico, Maria M. P.; Gonçalves, Emanuel J.; Peck, Myron A.; Silva, GonçaloABSTRACT: Spawning habitats of cold-water, European small pelagic fishes have shifted poleward in the last three decades coincident with gradual ocean warming. We predicted present-day, season-specific habitat suitability for spawning by European sardine Sardina pichardus in the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean and Black Seas, and projected climate-driven changes in suitable areas from 2050-2099 under the IPCC ...

Global patterns for the spatial distribution of floating microfibers: Arctic Oc...
Lima, André R.A.; Ferreira, Guilherme V.B.; Barrows, Abigail P.W.; Christiansen, Katie S.; Treinish, Gregg; Toshack, Michelle C.Despite their representativeness, most studies to date have underestimated the amount of microfibers (MFs) in the marine environment. Therefore, further research is still necessary to identify key processes governing MF distribution. Here, the interaction among surface water temperature, salinity, currents and winds explained the patterns of MF accumulation. The estimated density of floating MFs is ~5900 ± 6800...
Targeted sequencing of mitochondrial genes reveals signatures of molecular adap...
Baltazar-Soares, Miguel; Lima, André R.A.; Silva, GonçaloOngoing climatic changes, with predictable impacts on marine environmental conditions, are expected to trigger organismal responses. Recent evidence shows that, in some marine species, variation in mitochondrial genes involved in the aerobic conversion of oxygen into ATP at the cellular level correlate with gradients of sea surface temperature and gradients of dissolved oxygen. Here, we investigated the adaptiv...
