Reduction of amphibian roadkill by one-side barriers
Rato, João; Sá-Sousa, PauloAmphibians are the most affected vertebrates by roadkill. Often, to minimise this problem mitiga-tion barriers are installed. While two-side barriers effectiveness is well described in the literature, one-side barriers are poorly studied.

A Comprehensive Review of Disease-Causing Agents in Freshwater Turtles: Implica...
Banha, Filipe Miguel Santos; Anastácio, Pedro; Rato, João; Harris, D.J.; Xavier, RaquelFreshwater turtles comprise 81% of all chelonian species despite freshwater systems only occupying 1% of the earth’s surface, and they are commonly exploited as pets and food resources. This contact between humans and turtles may put both sides at risk of disease transmission. Additionally, human impact on ecosystems can cause disease outbreaks in turtle populations. In this review, we focused on disease agents...
First records of Mauremys sinensis in Portugal: a consequence of inadequate pol...
Banha, Filipe Miguel Santos; Anastácio, Pedro; Rato, João; Brandão, PedroCommercial success of a pet species predicts its invasiveness, making the most traded species more likely to become introduced. Turtles are among the most traded species, making it critical to monitor their introduction, and in Portugal several invasive turtle species have been detected in nature. This study reports the first official record of Mauremys sinensis and lists its unofficial records in Portugal. Thi...
