Palaeogeographic and tectonic rearrangements of rivers have significantly influenced the phylogeography of Iberian and North African freshwater fishes, but their impact remains unclear. We revisit the phylogeographic relationships and diversification timelines of Cobitis (spined loaches, family Cobitidae) on both sides of the Strait of Gibraltar. Sampling 230 sites across 41 river basins, we analysed genetic va...
Multimetric indices play a pivotal role in assessing river ecological quality, aligning with the European Water Framework Directive (EU WFD) requirements. However, indices developed specifically for large rivers are uncommon. Our objective was to develop a fish-based tool specifically tailored to assess the ecological quality in Portuguese large rivers. Data were collected from seven sites in each of three Port...

Multimetric indices are considered a low-cost and rapid means of assessing ecological integrity in streams. This study aimed to develop a fish-based Index of Biotic Integrity (N3S-IBI) in an agricultural region within the domains of the Atlantic rainforest in Brazil. We sampled 23 first-order streams and used large-scale land use and a local physical condition index to choose reference sites and to classify sit...
Em Portugal, mais de 150.000 ha de plantações de eucalipto (Eucalyptus globulus) são já geridas em conformidade com os sistemas internacionais de certificação. O objetivo deste trabalho foi o de avaliar a biodiversidade e a qualidade ecológica de pequenos rios associados a este tipo de povoamentos, usando diversas comunidades aquáticas – peixes, anfíbios e macroinvertebrados – bem como um índice de condição mor...
Dando continuidade ao debate iniciado nos anos 1970, por feministas e artistas norte-americanas e inglesas sobre o «sexo», a sexualidade, o género, a «raça»/etnia, classe, público/privado e reconhecendo a sua atualidade decidimos organizar este dossier para que as práticas artísticas, as teorias feministas, os estudos queer e de género continuem a ser um espaço de questionamento, de ação política e de reflexão ...
Copyright © 2017 The Institute of Brewing & Distilling Mead, one of the oldest fermented drinks, is derived from the fermentation of diluted honey by yeasts. In the context of wine production, several procedures are applied to stabilize the beverage and to improve its organoleptic properties. This study aims to evaluate the impact of adding fining agents on the production of mead. In general, the best results w...
Mead is an alcoholic beverage, produced since ancient times, resulting from an alcoholic fermentation of diluted honey by yeasts. When it is produced in a traditional manner, mead producers can encounter several problems related to a lack of essential nutrients, such as available nitrogen. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nitrogen addition to honey-must on the fermentation performance o...
