The role of sheltered habitats in biodiversity conservation of species sensitiv...
Baptista, Martim; Carvalho, Rui; Boieiro, Mário; Bartz, M. L. C.; Mendes, Sara; Timóteo, Sérgio; Azevedo-Pereira, Henrique M.V.S.; Alves, JoanaIn the aftermath of 2019’ tropical cyclones Idai and Kenneth, we assessed ground beetle communities of the Gorongosa National Park (GNP) in Mozambique. The influence of habitat shelters, namely the buffering role of closed microhabitat conditions on Alpha diversity and community trait values during a long period of drought, was evaluated across the main habitat types of the park: miombo forests, mixed forests, ...
Fichas de Espécies - Arthropoda
Borges, Paulo A. V.; Vieira, Virgilio; Wallon, Sophie; Cardoso, Pedro; Picanço, Ana; Lamelas-López, Lucas; Amorim do Rosário, Isabel; Serrano, ArturABSTRACT: Arthropods, and especially certain groupsof insects, due to their enormous specificrichness, abundance and fidelity tocertain habitats, among other factors, area fundamental tool in studies of ecologicalbio-indicators and biodiversity.
Beyond the green: assessing quarry restoration success through plant and beetle...
Mexia, Teresa; Antunes, Cristina; Nunes, Alice; Mira, António; Correia, Ana Isabel; Serrano, Artur; Correia, OtíliaIn assessing the effectiveness of ecological restoration actions, outcomes evaluation using a multi-taxa approach can greatly contribute to a clearer understanding of their success/failure. Since comprehensive biodiversity assessments are rarely possible, choosing taxa groups that are indicative of the ecosystem’s structural and functional recovery is of major importance. Our goal was to evaluate the success of...

Serrano, Artur; Baptista, Martim; Carvalho, Rui; Boieiro, Mário; Mendes, Sara; Bartz, M. L. C.; Timóteo, Sérgio; Pereira, Henrique; Aguiar, CarlosABSTRACT: The Gorongosa National Park (Mozambique) is one of the most emblematic protected areas in Africa, well known for its vertebrate biodiversity and restoration ecology efforts following the Mozambican civil war in 1992. The invertebrate biodiversity of Gorongosa National Park is still poorly studied, although the scarce information available indicates the existence of a rich number of species, namely in ...
Long droughts decrease tiger- and ground-beetle’ beta diversity and community b...
Martins da Silva, Pedro; Carvalho, Rui; Boieiro, Mário; Sousa, José Paulo; Serrano, ArturABSTRACT: We assessed the Caraboidea communities of Gorongosa National Park (GNP) in Mozambique. Influence of tropical rainfall, after a long period of drought, was evaluated on alpha and beta diversity of tiger- and ground-beetles in the main habitat types of the park: miombo forests, mixed forests, transitional forests, and grasslands (open savannas). Tiger- and ground-beetle communities were sampled by pitfa...

Drivers of Insect Community Change along the Margins of Mountain Streams in Ser...
Ceia-Hasse, Ana; Boieiro, Mário; Soares, Albano; Antunes, Sandra; Figueiredo, Hugo; Rego, Carla; Borges, Paulo A.V.; Conde, José; Serrano, ArturMountain ecosystems are important biodiversity hotspots and valuable natural laboratories to study community assembly processes. Here, we analyze the diversity patterns of butterflies and odonates in a mountainous area of high conservation value—Serra da Estrela Natural Park (Portugal)—and we assess the drivers of community change for each of the two insect groups. The butterflies and odonates were sampled alon...
The rose chafers (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae) of Guinea-Bissau: an an...
Serrano, ArturAn annotated checklist of the species and subspecies of rose chafers (Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae) hitherto known from Guinea-Bissau is given. This list includes historical and published species records, but also novel information from several entomological expeditions/missions to that country carried by the author (1983, 1992, 1995, 2006 and 2009). A total of 49 species and 3 subspecies are recorded for Guinea-Bi...

Serrano, Artur; Capela, Rúben A.; Nunes, Telmo; Santos, Carmen Van-Dúnem NetoAn annotated checklist of the species and subspecies of rose chafers (Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae) hitherto known from Angola is given. This list includes species records from recent entomological trips in that country (2014, 2015 and 2017) and from Portuguese museums and private collections. A total of 177 species and 31 subspecies are recorded for Angola, including 32 endemic species/subspecies (15.4%). Some spe...
