Background: Iron deficiency is a common complication in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD).1 However, standard iron markers are influenced by inflammation, complicating the diagnosis of true iron deficiency.1,2 Soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) has been proposed as a more reliable, inflammation-independent marker of iron demand.3 This study aimed to as...
Background: Hepcidin, the master regulator of systemic iron metabolism, is influenced by iron availability and inflammation.1 In inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), iron deficiency and anaemia are common, yet how hepcidin is regulated in relation to disease phenotype, iron status and inflammatory burden remains incompletely understood.2 We aimed to characterise hepcidin regulation in ulcerative colitis (UC) and C...
Invasive alien species (IAS) pose a growing threat to biodiversity, ecosystem services and human well-being, particularly in aquatic ecosystems worldwide. These species lead to severe environmental and economic impacts by altering habitats, disrupting ecological processes and outcompeting native species. In the Iberian Peninsula, IAS represent a major risk to its unique freshwater and estuarine ecosystems, whic...
The Spanish and Portuguese societies have a limited understanding of the threats posed by invasive alien species (IAS) in aquatic ecosystems. This gap of knowledge and awareness about IAS problems hampers any policy proposed by administrations and stakeholders, contributing to missing an IAS management strategy. We present the final results, impacts and some learned lessons achieved in the Environmental Governa...

Um objetivo importante do LIFE INVASAQUA é desenvolver ferramentas que melhorem a gestão e aumentem a eficácia no Alerta Precoce e Resposta Rápida para Espécies Exóticas Invasoras (EEI) na Península Ibérica. Desenvolvemos um processo participativo com especialistas para obter recomendações estratégicas para a gestão transnacional de lagostins e caranguejos exóticos invasores em águas continentais de Espanha e P...
Este código de conducta ha sido redactado en el marco del proyecto LIFE INVASAQUA (LIFE17 GIE/ES/000515) con la contribución de la Comisión Europea a través del programa LIFE. El proyecto LIFE INVASAQUA tene entre sus objetivos facilitar y apoyar las polítcas europeas sobre gestón de especies exóticas invasoras generando información útil para su implementación. Los códigos de conducta son documentos que pretend...
