Freshwater fish community assessment using eDNA metabarcoding vs. capture-based...
Curto, Manuel; Batista, Sofia; Santos, Carlos D.; Ribeiro, Filipe; Nogueira, Sofia; Ribeiro, Diogo; Prindle, Benjamin; Licari, Daniel; Riccioni, GiuliaEnvironmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has revolutionized ecological and environmental research by describing communities without relying on direct observations, making it a powerful, non-invasive, and cost-effective tool in biodiversity monitoring. However, the adoption of eDNA as a standard protocol in long-term monitoring programs, which have traditionally relied on capture-based methods, presents challenges...
Prediction of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Cyanobacterial Strains by Whole Ge...
Balata, Duarte; Rosado, Tânia; Pina-Martins, Francisco; Manageiro, Vera; Menezes, Carina; Ferreira, Eugénia; Paulo, Octávio S.; Caniça, ManuelaCyanobacteria are ubiquitous in freshwater environments, but their role in aquatic resistome remains unclear. In this work, we performed whole genome sequencing on 43 cyanobacterial strains isolated from Portuguese fresh/wastewaters. From 43 available non-axenic unicyanoabacterial cultures (containing only one cyanobacterial strain and their co-occurring bacteria), it was possible to recover 41 cyanobacterial g...
From Food to Humans: The Toxicological Effects of Alternaria Mycotoxins in the ...
Vilela, Rita Sofia; Pina-Martins, Francisco; Ventura, CéliaAlternaria mycotoxins represent a significant and emerging concern in the field of food safety due to their widespread occurrence in diverse food and feed commodities, including cereals, tomatoes, oilseeds, and dried fruits. Among these, alternariol (AOH), alternariol monomethyl ether (AME), tenuazonic acid (TeA), and altertoxin-I (ATX-I) are the most frequently detected, often co-occurring at varying concentra...

Building a Portuguese coalition for biodiversity genomics
Marques, João P.; Alves, Paulo C.; Amorim, Isabel R.; Lopes, Ricardo J.; Moura, Monica; Myers, Eugene; Sim-sim, Manuela; Sousa-Santos, CarlaThe diverse physiography of the Portuguese land and marine territory, spanning from continental Europe to the Atlantic archipelagos, has made it an important repository of biodiversity throughout the Pleistocene glacial cycles, leading to a remarkable diversity of species and ecosystems. This rich biodiversity is under threat from anthropogenic drivers, such as climate change, invasive species, land use changes...

No evidence of inbreeding depression despite a historical severe bottleneck in ...
Afonso, Rita O; Pina-Martins, Francisco; Friesen, Vicki; Sun, Zhengxin; Campioni, Letizia; Madeiros, Jeremy; Silva, Mónica CThe Bermuda petrel Pterodroma cahow is an island endemic seabird that belongs to the Procellariiformes, one of the most endangered orders of birds. Historical records suggest a significant population size decline following human settlement in Bermuda, bringing the species to near extinction. Since the 1950s, the population has been recovering aided by the implementation of an ongoing conservation plan. However,...
Population structure in Quercus suber L. revealed by nuclear microsatellite mar...
Sousa, Filipe; Costa, Joana; Ribeiro, Carla; Varandas, Marta; Pina-Martins, Francisco; Simões, Fernanda; Matos, José; Glushkova, Maria; Miguel, CéliaQuercus suber L. is a sclerophyllous tree species native to the western Mediterranean, a region that is considered highly vulnerable to increased temperatures and severe dry conditions due to environmental changes. Understanding the population structure and demographics of Q. suber is essential in order to anticipate whether populations at greater risk and the species as a whole have the genetic background and ...
