Guia Ilustrado dos Charcos Temporários Mediterrânicos da Costa Sudoeste
Pinto-Cruz, Carla; Lumbreras, Ana; Belo, A.D.F.; Meireles, Catarina; Cristo, Margarida; Machado, Margarida; Sá-Sousa, Paulo; Marques, J. TiagoOs 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...
Dispersal mode and spatial extent influence distance-decay patterns in pond met...
Tornero, Irene; Boix, Dani; Bagella, Simonetta; Pinto-Cruz, Carla; Caria, Maria Carmela; Belo, A.D.F.; Lumbreras, Ana; Sala, Jordi; Compte, JordiAssuming that dispersal modes or abilities can explain the different responses of organisms to geographic or environmental distances, the distance-decay relationship is a useful tool to evaluate the relative role of local environmental structuring versus regional control in com- munity composition. Based on continuing the current theoretical framework on metacommu- nity dynamics and based on the predictive effe...
Assessing the conservation status of Mediterranean temporary ponds using biodiv...
Lumbreras, Ana; Marques, João Tiago; Belo, A.D.F.; Cristo, Margarida; Fernandes, M.; Galioto, D; Machado, Margarida; Mira, António; Silva, R.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...

Habitat Variation in Vernal Pool Ecosystems on Both Sides of the Strait of Gibr...
Lumbreras, Ana; Hikmat, Tahiri; Pinto-Cruz, Carla; Pardo, Cristina; Molina, José A.We studied vernal pool (VP) ecosystems along a latitudinal gradient crossing the Strait of Gibraltar in order to determine its role in the distribution of VP plant communities. We analyzed flora, vegetation, physical–chemical water parameters, and climatic data from two vernal pool areas on both the European (Iberian) and African (Moroccan) sides of the Strait. Despite the minor distance between both territorie...
