Mass tourism, cultural heritage, and traditional values within citizen lifestyl...

Porto has a rich urban mesh and unique cultural identity, whose preservation has been the basis of its historic centre classification as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO (1996). The increase in demand of Porto as a tourism destination since 2015 was simultaneously favoured by the opening of Porto’s airport new terminal that greatly powered low-cost companies and the licensing for the rehabilitation of houses for...

Conservation intervention in the plaster panel “Os Pescadores” from the collect...

This article presents the cleaning strategy of the gypsum panel entitled “Os Pescadores”, stored for years without a proper conditioning, presenting large amounts of superficial and more adhered dirt. The methodological approach combined the use of wet and dry methods. As a material of great presence in the Portuguese context, it’s important to share information on case studies posing specific challenges.

The panel entitled “Os Pescadores” with 199cmx115cm x 19 cm by Maria Graciosa Mendes de Carvalho exhibits an iconography with a strong connection with the usual representations of the ...

Nudibranchs out of water: long-term temporal variations in the abundance of two...

The sudden appearance and disappearance of nudibranchs in intertidal areas have puzzled researchers all over the world, giving rise to a great diversity of theories to explain it. Here we conducted a five-year survey to evaluate seasonal changes in the abundance of Dendrodoris herytra and D. grandiflora in the Sado estuary (Portugal) and to explore a possible relationship with environmental factors such as temp...

Seagrass ecophysiological performance under ocean warming and acidification

Seagrasses play an essential ecological role within coastal habitats and their worldwide population decline has been linked to different types of anthropogenic forces. We investigated, for the first time, the combined effects of future ocean warming and acidification on fundamental biological processes of Zostera noltii, including shoot density, leaf coloration, photophysiology (electron transport rate, ETR; ma...

3D chemoecology and chemotaxonomy of corals using fatty acid biomarkers: Latitu...

With the objective of uncovering differences in the fatty acid (FA) composition of hexa- and octocorals from different climatic zones (equatorial, subtropical and tropical) and distinct habitats (e.g. rock and coral reefs; intertidal to deep-sea environments), the FA composition of 36 hexa- and octocoral species (132 specimens) was analysed (including the first characterization of organisms from the order Zoant...

“Gone with the wind”: Fatty acid biomarkers and chemotaxonomy of stranded pleus...

Marine pleustonic species such as the hydrozoans Velella velella and Physalia physalis, are known to drift in the world's oceans driven by winds, currents and tides. Here we present the first chemotaxonomic characterization, based on the fatty acid (FA) profile, of these two charismatic oceanic species that thrive in the interface layer between air and the water column in adult stages. Moreover, we compared the...
