A European biobanking strategy for safeguarding macroalgal genetic material to ...
Hofmann, Laurie C.; Brakel, Janina; Bartsch, Inka; Arismendi, Gabriel Montecinos; Bermejo, Ricardo; Parente, Manuela I.; Creis, EmelineBiobanking (also known as germplasm banking) of genetic material is a well-established concept for preserving plant genetic diversity and also contributes to food security, conservation and restoration. Macroalgae currently represent a very small percentage of the strains in publicly accessible European germplasm banks, despite the increasing recognition of their contribution to achieving several of the United ...
Marine algal flora of Flores and Corvo Islands, Azores
Neto, Ana I.; Parente, Manuela I.; Tittley, Ian; Fletcher, Robert L.; Farnham, William F.; Costa, Ana C.; Botelho, Andrea Z.; Monteiro, SandraBACKGROUND The algal flora of the western group of the Azores archipelago (Islands of Flores and Corvo) has attracted the interest of many researchers on numerous past occasions (such as Drouet 1866, Trelease 1897, Gain 1914, Schmidt 1929, Schmidt 1931, Azevedo et al. 1990, Fralick and Hehre 1990, Neto and Azevedo 1990, Neto and Baldwin 1990, Neto 1996, Neto 1997, Neto 1999, Tittley and Neto 1996, Tittley and N...
Marine algal flora of Santa Maria Island, Azores
Neto, Ana I.; Parente, Manuela I.; Cacabelos, Eva; Costa, Ana C.; Botelho, Andrea Z.; Ballesteros, Enric; Monteiro, Sandra; Resendes, RobertoBACKGROUND: The algal flora of the Island of Santa Maria (eastern group of the Azores archipelago) has attracted interest of researchers on past occasions (Drouët 1866, Agardh 1870, Trelease 1897, Schmidt 1931, Ardré et al. 1974, Fralick and Hehre 1990, Neto et al. 1991, Morton and Britton 2000, Amen et al. 2005, Wallenstein and Neto 2006, Tittley et al. 2009, Wallenstein et al. 2009a, Wallenstein et al. 2010, ...
Marine algal flora of São Miguel Island, Azores
Neto, Ana I.; Moreu, Ignacio; Rosas-Alquicira, Edgar; León-Cisneros, Karla; Cacabelos, Eva; Botelho, Andrea Z.; Micael, Joana; Costa, Ana C.BACKGROUND The macroalgal flora of the Island of São Miguel (eastern group of the Azores Archipelago) has attracted the interest of many researchers in the past, the first publications going back to the nineteenth century. Initial studies were mainly taxonomic, resulting in the publication of a checklist of the Azorean benthic marine algae. Later, the establishment of the University of the Azores on the Island ...
Gaps in DNA sequence libraries for macaronesian marine macroinvertebrates imply...
Vieira, Pedro Emanuel Ferreira Reis; Lavrador, Ana Sofia Castro; Parente, Manuela I.; Parretti, Paola; Costa, Ana C.; Costa, Filipe O.Aim: DNA metabarcoding has great potential to improve biomonitoring in island's marine ecosystems, which are highly vulnerable to global change and non-indigenous species (NIS) introductions. However, the depth and accuracy of the taxonomic identifications are mainly dependent on reference libraries containing representative and reliable sequences for the targeted species. In this study, we evaluated the gaps i...
Bio-vigilância : a deteção de espécies recém-chegadas utilizando ferramentas mo...
Parente, Manuela I.[…]. Com o projeto NIS-DNA — Deteção precoce e monitorização de espécies não indígenas (NIS) em ecossistemas costeiros baseadas em ferramentas de sequenciação de alto débito — pretendemos desenvolver e otimizar metodologias baseadas em ADN, para a deteção precoce de espécies não indígenas em aguas costeiras, o que permitira uma análise de risco mais oportuna e precisa, a ser incluída em programas do quadro de g...
Marine algal flora of Graciosa Island, Azores
Neto, Ana I.; Parente, Manuela I.; Botelho, Andrea Z.; Prestes, Afonso; Resendes, Roberto; Afonso, Pedro; Álvaro, Nuno V.; Milla-Figueras, DavidBACKGROUND: The macroalgal flora of Graciosa (central group of Azores archipelago) is poorly known, with only 116 species recorded so far (authors personal data). The published information reflects occasional collections from sporadic field visits to the Island. To overcome this, a thorough investigation under the Expedition “GRACIOSA/2004”, the Campaigns “PADEL/2006”, “MACROBIOLMOL/2014” and “PIMA-BALA/2017” i...
Species gap analysis in DNA barcode reference libraries of marine non-indigenou...
Duarte, Sofia Alexandra Ferreira; Parente, Manuela I.; Costa, Ana C.; Costa, Filipe O.Coastal regions are widely recognised for their ecologic and socio-economic importance. The spread of invasive species, along with global climate change, overexploitation, pollution and habitat destruction, is a major threat to coastal ecosystems (Solan et al. 2004). Some of these species, in particular macroalgae and invertebrates, can spread quickly and become invasive, causing severe ecologic and economic im...
The OBAA Standard for Developing Repositories of Learning Objects: the Case of ...
Mendes, Armando B.; Cascalho, José M. V. R.; Vicarri, Rosa Maria; Costa, Ana Cristina M. R.; Rossi, Luíz H. L.; Faria, Cláudia; Botelho, Andreia Z. C.This paper describes the existing web resources of learning objects to promote ocean literacy. The several projects and sites are explored, and the shortcomings revealed. The limitations identified include insufficient metadata about registered learning objects and lack of support for intelligent applications. As solution, we promote the seaThings project that relies on a multi-disciplinary approach to promote ...
