New Additions to the Mammal List Documented in the Portuguese Red Data Book
Mathias, Marua da Luz; Mira, António; Joaquim, Tapisso; Pita, Ricardo; Neves, Tomé; Cabral, João Alexandre; Barros, Paulo; Rainho, AnaThis study outlines the procedures used for collecting, processing, and categorizing data on 16 new mammal species for mainland Portugal, belonging to four taxonomic groups: Eulipotyphla (1), Chiroptera (4), Rodentia (2), and Cetacea (9). Data collection and processing encompassed field and lab work and bibliographic compilation. Data categorization involves, whenever possible, the assessment of the approximate...
Mammals in the Collection of the National Museum of Natural History and Science...
M.L., Mathias; Monarca, Rita I.; Neves, Tomé; Tapisso, Joaquim T.; Alves, Maria Judite; Ramalhinho, Maria da GraçaMuseum collections serve as valuable repositories of biodiversity, offering a substantial amount of data and specimens for scientific research. This study describes the intrinsic value of the mammal collection at the National Museum of Natural History and Science of the University of Lisbon (Portugal) (MUHNAC), and its nationwide representativeness, with the final aim of revealing its potential to support resea...

Rivero-Marcos, Mikel; Lasa, Berta; Neves, Tomé; Zamarreño, Ángel M; García-Mina, José M; García-Olaverri, Carmen; Aparicio-Tejo, Pedro M; Cruz, CristinaModern crops exhibit diverse sensitivities to ammonium as the primary nitrogen source, influenced by environmental factors such as external pH and nutrient availability. Despite its significance, there is currently no systematic classification of plant species based on their ammonium sensitivity. We conducted a meta-analysis of 50 plant species and present a new classification method based on the comparison of ...

The Influence of the Interaction between Climate and Competition on the Distrib...
Neves, Tomé; Borda-de-Água, Luís; Mathias, Maria da Luz; Tapisso, Joaquim T.It is known that species’ distributions are influenced by several ecological factors. Nonetheless, the geographical scale upon which the influence of these factors is perceived is largely undefined. We assessed the importance of competition in regulating the distributional limits of species at large geographical scales. We focus on species with similar diets, the European Soricidae shrews, and how interspecific...
Understanding species’ spatial distributions : A Soricidae family case study
Neves, ToméClimate change is an on-going reality having already given rise to observed changes in natural ecosystems. It is thus a priority to predict how species’ distributions will adjust to new environmental conditions. For this purpose, two approaches are essential: to increase the knowledge on the factors limiting species’ distributions, and to develop tools, using that knowledge, to make future predictions. I explor...
