Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has revolutionized ecological and environmental research by describing communities without relying on direct observations, making it a powerful, non-invasive, and cost-effective tool in biodiversity monitoring. However, the adoption of eDNA as a standard protocol in long-term monitoring programs, which have traditionally relied on capture-based methods, presents challenges...

Pool refuges are critical for maintaining stream fish diversity in increasingly intermittent streams. Yet, the patterns and drivers of beta diversity of native and non-native fish in pool refuges remain poorly known. Focusing on Mediterranean streams, we decomposed beta diversity of native and non-native fish into richness difference (RichDiff) and species replacement (Repl), and local (LCBD, LCBDRichDiff and L...
In Portugal, in recent years, with the processes of globalization and increasing financialization of the housing market, associated with foreign investment in real estate, the processes of gentrification and space social segregation have been accentuated, especially in metropolitan areas. Indeed, the real estate market is currently experiencing a period of strong demand, with prices rising substantially above w...
