Refining the morphological characteristics of Dipolydora capensis(Day, 1955) an...
Radashevsky, Vasily I; Martin, Daniel; Gil, JoãoTogether with Syllidae, Nereididae and Eunicidae, Spionidae is one of the four more speciose families of polychaete annelids in southern Africa, comprising 25% of the known species and 53–85% of the unresolved cosmopolitans. Among southern African spionids, the genus Dipolydora Verrill, 1881 particularly requires further revision and, in this paper, we contribute by refining the morphological characteristics of...

Antioxidant Potential of Tamarillo Fruits-Chemical and Infrared Spectroscopy An...
Rito, Miguel; Marques, Joana; Costa, Ricardo M. F. da; Correia, Sandra; Lopes, Tércia; Martin, Daniel; Canhoto, Jorge M. P. L.Native to South America, tamarillo (Solanum betaceum Cav.) is a small tree cultivated as a fruit crop in several regions of the world. Known for its sweet and sour taste, tamarillo fruits are very nutritious due to the presence of health-beneficial components such as fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. Despite its nutritional value, tamarillo remains poorly known in global markets. The present work aims to study...
New sublittoral species of Laonice (Annelida: Spionidae) from Southern Asian co...
Sikorski, Andrey; Pavlova, Luudmila; Martin, Daniel; Gil, JoãoFour new species of Laonice (Annelida: Spionidae) are described from the southern and southeastern coasts of Asia: L. (Laonice) persica sp. nov., L. (Laonice) siamica sp. nov., L. (Sarsiana) apicelamella sp. nov. and L. (Sarsiana) andamanica sp. nov. Materials were collected within the scope of different environmental surveys performed by the consulting company Creocean, ranging from the Persian Gulf (Indian Oc...
Taxonomic review of Gallardoneris nonatoi (Ramos, 1976) comb. nov. (Annelida, ...
Martin, Daniel; Estefa, Jordi; Gil, JoãoThe small Lumbrineridae Gallardoneris iberica Martins, Carrera-Parra, Quintino & Rodrigues, 2012 was first described as new to science based on specimens from Portuguese waters. Then, it was successively reported from several south European areas, including Spain, Italy, Greece, and Cyprus. Here evidence is presented that G. iberica should be placed in synonymy with Lumbrineris nonatoi Ramos, 1976, originally d...
Description of the new species Sigambra nkossa (Annelida, Pilargidae), with an ...
Martin, Daniel; Gil, João; Chaineau, Claude-Henri; Thorin, Sébastien; Le Gall, Romain; Dutrieux, EricThe monitoring of the N'Kossa offshore oil and gas fields in the Republic of Congo allowed us to assess the ecological traits of two polychaete species belonging to Sigambra (Annelida, Pilargidae). Sigambra parva occur in very low densities in all bottoms, except the most impacted, where it is totally absent; it is an undescribed species that reached >4,000 ind/m(2) in hydrocarbon-enriched sediments. Their dist...
Novel Insights into Corema album Berries: Vibrational Profile and Biological Ac...
Marques, Joana; Martin, Daniel; Amado, Ana Margarida; Lysenko, Viktoriya; Osório, Nádia Isabel Almeida; Carvalho, Luís A. E. Batista deThis study reports an evaluation of the biological properties of the edible berries from Corema album, an endemic shrub of the Portuguese coastline, aiming at its use as a nutraceutical. Different methanolic extracts were obtained from the pulp and seed of fresh berries: pulp extract, seed residue, and seed oil (extracted and characterized for the first time). For each of these, the antioxidant activity was ass...
Biorefining Potential of Wild-Grown Arundo donax, Cortaderia selloana and Phrag...
Costa, Ricardo M. F. da; Winters, Ana; Hauck, Barbara; Martin, Daniel; Bosch, Maurice; Simister, Rachael; Gomez, Leonardo DArundo donax, Cortaderia selloana and Phragmites australis are high-biomass-producing perennial Poalean species that grow abundantly and spontaneously in warm temperate regions, such as in Mediterranean-type climates, like those of Southern Europe, Western United States coastal areas, or in regions of South America, South Africa and Australia. Given their vigorous and spontaneous growth, biomass from the studie...
FTIR Screening to Elucidate Compositional Differences in Maize Recombinant Inbr...
López-Malvar, Ana; Santiago, Rogelio; Malvar, Rosa Ana; Martin, Daniel; Santos, Inês Pereira dos; Batista de Carvalho, Luís A. E.; Faas, LauraWith a high potential to generate biomass, maize stover arises as an outstanding feedstock for biofuel production. Maize stover presents the added advantage of being a multiple exploitation of the crop as a source of food, feed, and energy. In this study, contrasting groups of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) from a maize multiparent advanced generation intercross (MAGIC) population that showed variability for s...
Revision of the Laonice bahusiensis complex (Annelida: Spionidae) with a descri...
Sikorski, Andrey; Radashevsky, Vasily; Castelli, Alberto; Pavlova, Lyudmila; Nygren, Arne; Malyar, Vasily; Borisova, Polina; Mikac, BarbaraThe morphological reexamination of specimens previously identified as Laonice bahusiensis Soderstrom, 1920 from North European and Mediterranean collections, supported by the molecular analysis of freshly collected material, enabled the recognition of four different species in the region: the genuine L. bahusiensis, L. irinae n. sp. from North European waters, and L. grimaldii n. sp. and L. mediterranea n. sp. ...
