A multidisciplinary study of Iberian Chalcolithic dogs
Blaschikoff, Ludmilla; Daza-Perea, Arantxa; Requicha, João; Detry, Cleia; Rasteiro, Rita; Guimarães, Sílvia; Ureña, Irene; Serra, Octávio; Schmidt, RyanDomesticated dogs have been present in the Iberian Peninsula long before other domesticated species, back to the late Palaeolithic period. Their origin is still uncertain, but dogs were already well established during the Chalcolithic period (ca. 5000–4000 BP). This study employed a multidisciplinary approach comprising osteometric, radiographic and palaeogenomic analyses to characterize Chalcolithic Iberian Ca...

MAMMALS IN PORTUGAL : A data set of terrestrial, volant, and marine mammal occu...
Grilo, Clara; Afonso, Beatriz C.; Afonso, Filipe; Alexandre, Marta; Aliácar, Sara; Almeida, Ana; Alonso, Ivan Prego; Álvares, Francisco; Alves, PauloMammals are threatened worldwide, with 26% of all species being includedin the IUCN threatened categories. This overall pattern is primarily associatedwith habitat loss or degradation, and human persecution for terrestrial mam-mals, and pollution, open net fishing, climate change, and prey depletion formarine mammals. Mammals play a key role in maintaining ecosystems func-tionality and resilience, and therefore...

Diet of the White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) in a heterogeneous Mediterranean land...
Ferreira, Eduardo; Grilo, Filipa; Mendes, Raquel; Lourenço, Rui; Santos, Sara; Petrucci-Fonseca, FranciscoLimited quantitative data are available on food habits of the White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) in Mediterranean environments, particularly in ricefields where a relatively new food resource, the invasive Red Swamp Crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), is abundant. We studied the diet of the White Stork in a heterogeneous landscape (Central Portugal) in order to compare the importance of the Red Swamp Crayfish as a food ...
Mamíferos Semiaquáticos
Santos-Reis, Margarida; Pedroso, Nuno M.; Petrucci-Fonseca, FranciscoEmbora em Portugal o número de espécies de mamíferos que demonstram algum grau de associação com o meio dulciaquícula não seja elevado (8 espécies num total de 71, excluindo as espécies marinhas), a sua diversidade taxonómica é significativa pois inclui representantes de 4 das 8 ordens que atualmente integram a classe de mamíferos em território nacional. Nenhuma das espécies é estritamente aquática mas cinco (o...
Unveiling patterns of viral pathogen infection in free-ranging carnivores of no...
Rosa, Gonçalo M.; Santos, Nuno; Grøndahl-Rosado, Ricardo; Petrucci-Fonseca, Francisco; Tavares, Luis; Neto, Isabel; Cartaxeiro, Clara; Duarte, AnaPathogen surveillance in free-ranging carnivores presents challenges due to their low densitie and secretive nature. We combined molecular and serological assays to investigate infections by viral pathogens (Canine parvovirus (CPV), Canine distemper virus (CDV) and Canine coronavirus (CCoV)) in Portuguese carnivores (Canis lupus, Vulpes vulpes, Lutra lutra, Martes foina, M. martes, Meles meles, and Genetta gene...
Dental pathology of the wild Iberian wolf (Canis lupus signatus): The study of ...
Pires, AE; Caldeira, IS; Petrucci-Fonseca, Francisco; Viegas, I; Viegas, C; Bastos-Silveira, Cristiane; Requicha, JFFor some wild canids, such as the Iberian wolf, there is a lack of in-depth knowledge about dental pathology. We aimed to evaluate it, in a standardized manner, in specimens from a Portuguese museum collection. Sixty-five deceased specimens of wild Iberian wolves, 61 complete skulls and 4 mandibles, collected in Portugal between 1977 and 1995, were analyzed. Sample comprised 18 females, 24 males and 23 individu...
