MAMMALS IN PORTUGAL: A data set of terrestrial, volant, and marine mammal occur...
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 included in the IUCN threatened categories. This overall pattern is primarily associated with habitat loss or degradation, and human persecution for terrestrial mam mals, and pollution, open net fishing, climate change, and prey depletion for marine mammals. Mammals play a key role in maintaining ecosystems func tionality and resilience, and theref...

Host and environmental factors modulate the exposure of free-ranging and farmed...
González-Barrio, David; Velasco Ávila, Ana Luisa; Boadella, Mariana; Beltrán-Beck, Beatriz; Ángel Barasona, José; Santos, João P. V.; Queirós, JoãoThe control of multihost pathogens, such as Coxiella burnetii, should rely on accurate information about the roles played by the main hosts. We aimed to determine the involvement of the red deer (Cervus elaphus) in the ecology of C. burnetii. We predicted that red deer populations from broad geographic areas within a European context would be exposed to C. burnetii, and therefore, we hypothesized that a series ...
Near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) for predicting glucocorticoid met...
Santos, João P. V.; Vicente, Joaquín; Villamuelas, Miriam; Albanell, Elena; Serrano, Emmanuel; Carvalho, João; Fonseca, Carlos; Gortázar, ChristianInterest in measuring faecal glucocorticoid metabolites (FGM) as indicators of physiological homeostasis and performance in wildlife is increasing. However, current reference techniques, specifically enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) and radioimmunoassays (RIAs), are expensive, time-consuming, reagent-based, and the samples are destroyed during their application. Conversely, near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIR...
Optimizing the sampling effort to evaluate body condition in ungulates: a case ...
Santos, João P. V.; Fernández-De-Mera, Isabel G.; Acevedo, Pelayo; Boadella, Mariana; Fierro, Yolanda; Vicente, Joaquín; Gortázar, ChristianBody condition is a useful measure of the nutritional status and performance in ungulates. The most widely used indicators of body condition are based on fat reserves, mainly those surrounding the kidneys. To estimate the body condition in large herbivores, researchers often collect and pool the data from both kidneys and their perirenal fat in order to compensate for potential differences between the body cond...
