Inventory of tiger- and ground-beetles (Coleoptera Caraboidea: Cicindelidae, Ca...
Serrano, Artur R. M.; Carvalho, Rui; Boieiro, Mário; Borges, Paulo A. V.; Silva, Pedro MartinsThe Gorongosa National Park (Mozambique) is one of the most emblematic protected areas in Africa, well known for its vertebrate biodiversity and restoration ecology efforts following the Mozambican civil war in 1992. The invertebrate biodiversity of Gorongosa National Park is still poorly studied, although the scarce information available indicates the existence of a rich number of species, particularly ground-...
Landscape composition and configuration affect the abundance of the olive moth ...
Villa, Maria; Santos, Sónia A.P.; Sousa, José Paulo; Ferreira, Alberto; Silva, Pedro Martins; Patanita, M. Isabel; Ortega, Marta; Pascual, SusanaLandscape and crop management are important concepts for conservation biological control as they can influence the abundance of natural enemies. In this work we accomplished a multi-scale study focused on the effect of landscape structure and crop management on the olive moth, Prays oleae (Bernard), an important pest of the olive tree (Olea europaea L.). The olive moth was collected in different olive groves ma...
Efecto del paisaje y del manejo del olivar sobre la polilla del olivo Prays ole...
Villa, María; Santos, Sónia A.P.; Sousa, J. Paulo; Ferreira, Alberto; Silva, Pedro Martins; Patanita, M. Isabel; Ortega, M.; Pascual, SusanaEl manejo del paisaje y los cultivos puede constituir una herramienta importante para la implementación de estrategias de control biológico por conservación, como consecuencia de la contribución que el uso de diseños paisajísticos adecuados y la aplicación de determinados manejos pueden representar en el incremento de las necesidades y la acción de los enemigos naturales. En el presente trabajo fue realizado un...
Habitat structure and neighbor linear features influence more carabid functiona...
Silva, Pedro Martins; Oliveira, Joana Maria da Silva; Ferreira, Alberto; Fonseca, Felícia; Pereira, J.A.; Aguiar, Carlos; Serrano, Artur R.M.The effects of land-use management and environmental features at different scales on carabid beetle diversity and trait structure were assessed across olive groves in northeastern Portugal. We selected organic and integrated olive groves that were distinct in terms of specific management practices, local linear features and landscape configurations. Besides the management intensification levels, differences in ...
The use of a functional approach as surrogate of Collembola species richness in...
Reis, Filipa S.; Carvalho, Filipe Chichorro de; Silva, Pedro Martins; Mendes, Sara; Santos, Sónia A.P.; Sousa, José PauloCollembolans are known indicators of soil disturbance, used in several soil biodiversity monitoring programmes. As for other groups of soil microarthropods, taxonomic determination of Collembola species requires a huge effort and expert knowledge. In this study, we evaluated whether identification of Collembola species to the morphotype level, using an eco-morphological index which classifies individuals based ...
Utilização de bioindicadores na monitorização e certificação da qualidade do ol...
Santos, Sónia A.P.; Patanita, M. Isabel; Sousa, J. Paulo; Fonseca, Felícia; Bento, Albino; Pinheiro, Lara Alina; Gonçalves, C.; Queirós, AnabelaA intensificação das práticas agrícolas com recurso, na maioria das vezes, a aplicações de pesticidas e a mobilizações e fertilizações frequentes do solo, têm como consequência a degradação dos recursos naturais e a perda de biodiversidade nos agroecossistemas. Por outro lado, os efeitos destas práticas têm sido estudados nas últimas décadas e, devido aos seus impactes negativos, os agricultores têm sido encora...
