Using individual-based demographic modelling to estimate the impacts of anthrop...
Marques, Teresa; Crispim-Mendes, Tiago; Palma, Luís; Pita, Ricardo; Moreira, Francisco; Beja, PedroWildlife anthropogenic mortality is increasing worldwide, yet there is limited understanding regarding its population-level impacts. Territorial species stand out in this context, as they possess distinctive characteristics that are often overlooked but may significantly affect their vulnerability. In particular, population impacts may depend on the level and spatial distribution of additional mortality risk ac...

Business overall performance and sustainability effectiveness: an indicator to ...
Abreu, Maria Florentina Queirós Silva; Alves, Anabela Carvalho; Moreira, FranciscoWithin a lean context, the aim is to eliminate all forms of waste, including environmental waste, to improve productivity and reduce costs. Key to achieving this objective are operational performance and sustainability indicators. Lean companies must prioritize both operational performance and sustainability, remaining cognizant of their current status. With this in mind, the authors sought to ascertain whether...
dispfit: An R package to estimate species dispersal kernels
Proença-Ferreira, António; Borda-de-Água, Luís; Porto, Miguel; Mira, António; Moreira, Francisco; Pita, RicardoDispersal of organisms is a ubiquitous aspect of the natural world, with wide implications across scales and organization levels. Interest in dispersal has risen sharply over the past 30 years, mostly due to the multiple and rapid global changes ecosystems face. Among the various aspects that may characterize a dispersion event, dispersal distance is considered a key descriptor in a wide variety of studies acro...

Biodiversity monitoring in Europe: user and policy needs
Moersberger, Hannah; Valdez, Jose; Martin, Juliette G. C.; Junker, Jessica; Georgieva, Ivelina; Bauer, Silke; Beja, Pedro; Breeze, Tom D.To achieve the goals of the 2030 Global Biodiversity Framework, the EuropeanBiodiversity Strategy, and the EU Green Deal, biodiversity monitoring is critical.Monitoring efforts in Europe, however, suffer from gaps and biases in taxon-omy, spatial coverage, and temporal resolution, resulting in fragmented anddisconnected data. To assess user and policy needs in biodiversity monitoring,we employed a four-step use...
Grassland vegetation height affects bird responses to forest edges in Mediterra...
Faria, João; Reino, Luís; Beja, Pedro; Gonçalves, David; Sánchez-Oliver, Juan S.; Moreira, Francisco; Catry, Inês; Rotenberry, John T.; Morgado, RuiAfforestation affects Mediterranean farmland biodiversity due to loss and fragmentation of grassland habitats. While the influence of landscape context and plantation edges on farmland bird responses to afforestation is well-documented, less is known about the influence of grassland vegetation height and how it interacts with afforestation to influence bird communities. Here, we examined how changes in grasslan...
Temporal mismatches in flight activity patterns between Pipistrellus kuhlii and...
Herrera, José M.; Carvalho, Ana; Barreiro, Sílvia; Jiménez-Navarro, Gerardo; Melguizo-Ruiz, Nereida; Beja, Pedro; Moreira, Francisco; Vasconcelos, Sasharact 1. Biocontrol services are widely recognized to provide key incentives for bat con- servation. However, we have virtually no information on whether and how dis- ruptions in bat-mediated biocontrol services are driven by mismatches between the temporal activity patterns of insectivorous bats and insect pests. 2. We investigated the temporal relationship between the nightly activity patterns of the common pi...
Stakeholder perceptions of wildfire management strategies as nature-based solut...
Lecina-Diaz, Judit; Campos, João C.; Pais, Silvana; Carvalho-Santos, Cláudia; Azevedo, João; Fernandes, Paulo M.; Gonçalves, João FranciscoIncreased large and high-intensity wildfires cause large socioeconomic and ecological impacts, which demand improved landscape management approaches in which both ecological and societal dimensions are integrated. Engaging society in fire management requires a better understanding of stakeholder perceptions of wildfires and landscape management. We analyze stakeholder perceptions about wildfire-landscape intera...
Validation of a development methodology and tool for IoT-based systems through ...
Guerrero-Ulloa, Gleiston; Fernández-Loor, Ariel; Moreira, Francisco; Novais, Paulo; Rodríguez-Domínguez, Carlos; Hornos, Miguel J.In this article, we validate the Test-Driven Development Methodology for Internet of Things (IoT)-based Systems (TDDM4IoTS) and its companion tool, called Test-Driven Development Tool for IoT-based Systems (TDDT4IoTS). TDDM4IoTS consists of 11 stages, including activities ranging from system requirements gathering to system maintenance. To evaluate the effectiveness of TDDM4IoTS and TDDT4IoTS, in the last four ...
