This study outlines the procedures used for collecting, processing, and categorizing data on 16 new mammal species for mainland Portugal, belonging to four taxonomic groups: Eulipotyphla (1), Chiroptera (4), Rodentia (2), and Cetacea (9). Data collection and processing encompassed field and lab work and bibliographic compilation. Data categorization involves, whenever possible, the assessment of the approximate...

É uma das 26 patologias integradas no painel das doenças rastreadas em Portugal, a partir de sangue colhido em ...
Coccolithus braarudii (holococcolith) and Emiliana huxleyi (heterococcolith) were isolated from Portuguese coastal waters and domesticated under laboratory conditions with the objective of providing strains with high potential for the production of high value products for aquaculture and biotechnology. The growth patterns and photophysiology of the two species were investigated under controlled conditions, (19±...
Self-Determination Theory (SDT) is amongst motivational frameworks the most popular and contemporary approach to human motivation, being applied in the last decades in several domains, including sport, exercise and physical education (PE).
