Food Security and Nutrition in Mozambique: Comparative Study with Bean Species ...
Charrua, Alberto B.; Havik, Philip J.; Bandeira, Salomão; Catarino, Luis; Ribeiro-Barros, Ana; Cabral, Pedro; Moldão, Margarida; M. Romeiras, MariaIn Mozambique (South-eastern Africa), Phaseolus vulgaris and Vigna spp. are important staple foods and a major source of dietary protein for local populations, particularly for people living in rural areas who lack the financial capacity to include meat in their daily dietary options. This study focuses on the potential for improving diets with locally produced nutritious legumes whilst increasing food security...

Restructuring of the ‘Macaronesia’ biogeographic unit: A marine multi-taxon bio...
Freitas, Rui; M. Romeiras, Maria; Silva, Luís; Cordeiro, Ricardo; Madeira, Patrícia; González, José Antonio; Wirtz, Peter; Falcón, Jesús M.The Azores, Madeira, Selvagens, Canary Islands and Cabo Verde are commonly united under the term “Macaronesia”. This study investigates the coherency and validity of Macaronesia as a biogeographic unit using six marine groups with very different dispersal abilities: coastal fishes, echinoderms, gastropod molluscs, brachyuran decapod crustaceans, polychaete annelids, and macroalgae. We found no support for the c...
What Is the Giant Wall Gecko Having for Dinner? Conservation Genetics for Guidi...
Pinho, Catarina; Santos, Bárbara; Mata, Vanessa; Seguro, Mariana; M. Romeiras, Maria; Lopes, Ricardo; Vasconcelos, RaquelKnowledge on diet composition of a species is an important step to unveil its ecology and guide conservation actions. This is especially important for species that inhabit remote areas within biodiversity hotspots, with little information about their ecological roles. The emblematic giant wall gecko of Cabo Verde, Tarentola gigas, is restricted to the uninhabited Branco and Raso islets, and presents two subspec...
