Os efeitos do local de residência nas motivações turísticas: um caso revisto do...

This study seeks to capture the underlying reasons for the travel decisions of residents of the Urban Quadrangle of Minho (composed of the municipalities of Barcelos, Braga, Guimarães, and Vila Nova de Famalicão). The aim of the research is three-fold. Firstly, the study identifies the push and pull motivational factors of residents of the Urban Quadrangle of Minho. Secondly, the study examines whether there ar...

The effect of the Messinian salinity crisis on the early diversification of the...

The current distribution patterns of many Mediterranean species are often a consequence of large and impactful past geoclimatic events, such as the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC) and the Quaternary glacial cycles. Cicadas are flying insects with poor dispersal ability, which have experienced intense local differentiation in the Mediterranean, where the genus Tettigettalna has surfaced as a biogeographic model....

Tourist Experience in Rural Areas in Portugal: The Case of the “Quadrilátero Do...

Rural tourism (both physical and emotional experiences) has been increasingly sought after for a multitude of reasons. The personalised encounter between places, people/culture and guests, characteristic of rural accommodation and the village context, can play a central role in the quality of the experience of tourism in these areas. If so, understanding the profile of the tourist in Portuguese rural areas beco...

Diet of the White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) in a heterogeneous Mediterranean land...

Limited quantitative data are available on food habits of the White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) in Mediterranean environments, particularly in ricefields where a relatively new food resource, the invasive Red Swamp Crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), is abundant. We studied the diet of the White Stork in a heterogeneous landscape (Central Portugal) in order to compare the importance of the Red Swamp Crayfish as a food ...

Population genomics of Bombus terrestris reveals high but unstructured genetic ...

Ongoing climate change is expected to cause temperature rise and reduction of precipitation levels in the Mediterranean region, which might cause changes in many species’ distribution. These effects negatively impact species’ gene pools, decreasing genetic variability and adaptive potential. Here we use mitochondrial DNA and RADseq to analyse population genetic structure and genetic diversity of the bumblebee s...

Brain-sparing sympathofacilitators mitigate obesity without adverse cardiovascu...

Anti-obesity drugs in the amphetamine (AMPH) class act in the brain to reduce appetite and increase locomotion. They are also characterized by adverse cardiovascular effects with origin that, despite absence of any in vivo evidence, is attributed to a direct sympathomimetic action in the heart. Here, we show that the cardiac side effects of AMPH originate from the brain and can be circumvented by PEGylation (PE...
