RESULTADO NÃO ESPERADO. A PROPÓSITO DE UM CASO DE IDENTIFICAÇÃO GENÉTICA INDIVI...
Cerqueira, Joana; Pereira, Maria João; Matos, Paula; Amorim, AntónioNas perícias de Genética Forense, a identificação de amostras em análise, requer sempre a comparação com amostras de referência, sejam pertencentes ao próprio ou a familiares, de modo a permitir tirar conclusões e a realizar uma valorização estatística da prova. No caso concreto das perícias de Identificação Genética Individual, as amostras de um desconhecido (cadáver ou restos cadavéricos), são comparadas com ...
Functional diversity in marine fish assemblages
Henriques, Sofia; Dolbeth, Marina; Matos, Paula; Pecuchet, Laurene; Bernardo, Cristiane Palaretti; Weigel, Benjamin; McLean, Matthew; Hidalgo, ManuelIn the last decades, the rising interest in trait-based ecology is closely related to a growing demand for knowledge on ecosystems’ functioning and on mechanisms generating ecological patterns and processes, and with the urgency for approaches that allow to predict the consequences of climate change and anthropogenic impacts (McGill et al., 2006; De Bello et al., 2021a,b). This fundamental knowledge is difficul...
Microclimate simulation and lichen-based validation analyzing street trees' imp...
Girotti, Carolina; Matos, Paula; Shimomura, Alessandra R. Prata; Kurokawa, Fernando Akira; Correia, Ezequiel; Lopes, AntónioThis study investigates the impact of street trees on air pollutant concentrations, specifically NO₂ and PM10, in urban environments using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations with ENVI-met software. The study explores how different levels of tree cover influence the dispersion of atmospheric pollutants, focusing on three scenarios: current tree cover, complete removal of street trees, and a 50 % redu...
Microscale is key to model current and future Maritime Antarctic vegetation
Matos, Paula; Rocha, Bernardo; Pinho, Pedro; Miranda, Vasco; Pina, Pedro; Goyanes, Gabriel; Vieira, GonçaloDespite being one of the most pristine regions in the world, Antarctica is currently also one of the most vulnerable to climate change. Antarctic vegetation comprises mostly lichens and bryophytes, complemented in some milder regions of Maritime Antarctica by two vascular plant species. Shifts in the spatial patterns of these three main vegetation groups have already been observed in response to climate change,...
Rice fields play a complementary role within the landscape mosaic supporting st...
Paulino, João; Granadeiro, José Pedro; Matos, Paula; Catry, TeresaThis study aims to understand how the structure and functions of waterbird communities in rice fields compare to those in other habitats within an agricultural landscape encompassing five habitats: saltpans, lakes, intertidal areas, pastures and rice fields. Over 2 years, waterbird counts were conducted every 15 days in these habitats. Non-metric multidimensional scaling was used to compare the composition and ...
Incorporating biotic interactions to better model current and future vegetation...
Rocha, Bernardo; Pinho, Pedro; Giordani, Paolo; Concostrina-Zubiri, Laura; Vieira, Gonçalo; Pina, Pedro; Branquinho, Cristina; Matos, PaulaMaritime Antarctica’s harsh abiotic conditions forged simple terrestrial ecosystems, mostly constituted of bryophytes, lichens, and vascular plants. Though biotic interactions are, together with abiotic factors, thought to help shape this ecosystem, influencing species’ distribution and, indirectly, mediating their response to climate, the importance of these interactions is still fairly unknown. We modeled cur...

Envio de amostras ao SGBF e LV-ACF: colheita, identificação, acondicionamento e...
Cerqueira, Joana; Matos, Paula; Pereira, Maria João; Fadoni, Jennifer; Amorim, AntónioO presente trabalho tem por objetivo fornecer uma instrução que permita uniformizar os procedimentos a serem realizados por entidades externas ao Serviço de Genética e Biologia Forenses (SGBF) e ao Laboratório de Virologia e Análises Clínicas e Forenses (LV-ACF) do Instituto Nacional de Medicina Legal e Ciências Forenses, no que diz respeito à colheita, identificação, acondicionamento e envio de amostras. O âmb...
Identificação genética com recurso a amostras de anatomia patológica
Cerqueira, Joana; Pereira, Maria João; Lima, Gabriela; Matos, Paula; Ribeiro, Cláudia; Amorim, AntónioO Serviço de Genética e Biologia Forenses do INMLCF realiza vários ensaios com o objetivo de determinação de perfil genético em vários tipos de amostras. Os ensaios realizados, em todos os tipos de amostras, podem incluir-se nas várias áreas periciais, que representam as atividades do serviço, ou seja, a de Investigação de Parentesco Biológico, a de Criminalística Biológica e a de Identificação Genética Individ...
