Spatial and Temporal Distribution of the Multi-element Signatures of the Estuar...
Vieira, Soraia; Barrulas, Pedro; Chainho, Paula; Barrocas Dias, Cristina; Sroczyńska, Katarzyna; Adão, HelenaFilter-feeder bivalves such as non-indigenous Ruditapes philippinarum absorb and accumulate metals, resulting in multi-element profiles. The goal of this study was to analyse spatial and temporal distributions of the multi-element signatures in R. philippinarum populations of the Tagus and Sado estuaries (SW coast, Portugal). The clam and sediment samples were collected at three sampling sites in each estuary, ...

Independent effects of habitat and stream typology on macroinverte-brate commun...
Sroczyńska, Katarzyna; Leitão, Francisco; Máximo, I.; Range, Range; Furtado, A.; Claro, Marilia; Chicharo, LuisMacroinvertebrate-based water quality assessment in temporary streams is an important yet still understudied issue. Investigat-ing different aspects of macroinvertebrate distribution in these streams is therefore highly necessary for the successful imple-mentation of bio-assessment programs. We investigated the variability in macroinvertebrate communities (number of families, abundance, taxonomic richness) and ...
Individual and community level responses of benthic nematodes to the environmen...
Sroczyńska, Katarzyna; Chainho, Paula; Adão, HelenaNematodes are among the best candidates for ecological quality assessment due to their ubiquity and sensitivity to abiotic stressors. A background knowledge of how the complex mix of environmental conditions along the Sado Estuary sections affect nematode structural and functional distribution patterns is a prerequisite to develop future bio-assessment tools. Nevertheless, there is less knowledge on how individ...
Book of Abstracts, SeventIMCO - Seventeenth International Meiofauna Conference,
Adão, Helena; Vicente, Cláudia; Sroczyńska, Katarzyna; Espada, Margarida; et al.Preface MARE-Marine Environmental Sciences Centre, University of Évora together with International Association of Meiobenthologists are proud to welcome the 17th International Meiofauna Conference (SeventIMCO). The SeventIMCO is the major assembly to present and share advances in meiofaunal research and this year-2019 it became a historical meiofauna conference celebrating 50 years (1969-2019) anniversary. Prev...

Indicator macroinvertebrate species in a temporary Mediterranean river: recogni...
Sroczyńska, Katarzyna; Claro, M.; Kruk, A.; Wojtal-Frankiewicz, A.; Range, P.; Chicharo, LuisCurrent classifications used in bioassessment programs, as defined by the Water Framework Directive (WFD), do not sufficiently capture the variability present in temporary Mediterranean streams. This may result in inaccurate evaluation of the water quality biological metrics and difficulties in setting reference conditions. The aim of the study was to examine if aquatic invertebrate data of increased taxonomica...
