Patterns of intraspecific genetic variation of Andoa berthelotiana (Myuriaceae,...
MARTINS, SORAIA; Sim-Sim, Maria; GABRIEL, ROSALINA; STECH, MICHAELMacaronesia is home to several endemic bryophytes, such as Andoa berthelotiana. Recent genetic studies revealed the existence of two intraspecific lineages within this species, one in Madeira and the Canary Islands and another in the Azores. However, patterns of intraspecific variation within archipelagos, remain a relatively unexplored area of research. In this study we investigate patterns of intraspecific va...
Ecological drivers of taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity of bryo...
Martins, Anabela; Collart, Flavien; Sim-Sim, Maria; Patiño, JairoMontane oceanic islands possess unique geographic and ecological attributes, renderingthem valuable for assessing patterns and drivers of alpha and beta taxonomic, functional,and phylogenetic diversity along elevational gradients. Such comparisons of diversityfacets can provide insights into the mechanisms governing community assembly on is-lands. Herein, we aimed to characterize taxonomic, functional, and phyl...
Building a Portuguese coalition for biodiversity genomics
Marques, João P.; Alves, Paulo C.; Amorim, Isabel R.; Lopes, Ricardo Jorge; Moura, Monica; Myers, Eugene; Sim-Sim, Maria; Sousa-Santos, CarlaThe diverse physiography of the Portuguese land and marine territory, spanning from continental Europe to the Atlantic archipelagos, has made it an important repository of biodiversity throughout the Pleistocene glacial cycles, leading to a remarkable diversity of species and ecosystems. This rich biodiversity is under threat from anthropogenic drivers, such as climate change, invasive species, land use changes...
Updated List of Bryophytes from Cape Verde Archipelago
Sim-Sim, Maria; Martins, Anabela; Garcia, Cesár AugustoThe aim of the present study is to update the list of bryophytes in the Cape Verde archipelago, with a focus on its distinctive terrestrial biota. The research was carried out through a combination of herbarium collections revision and fieldwork conducted from 2016 to 2019. The revised list includes 185 bryophyte taxa (175 species, 5 subspecies, and 5 varieties) from 93 genera and 42 families. Notably, 8 taxa a...
Patterns and drivers of beta diversity across geographic scales and lineages in...
Mouton, Lea; Patiño, Jairo; Carine, Mark; Rumsey, Fred; de Sequeira, Miguel Menezes; González‐Mancebo, Juana María; Gabriel, Rosalina Maria de AlmeidaAim: How spatial, historical and ecological processes drive diversity patterns remains one of the main foci of island biogeography. We determined how beta diversity varies across spatial scales and among organisms, disentangled the drivers of this variation, and examined how, consequently, biogeographic affinities within and among archipelagos vary among land plants. Location: Macaronesia. Taxon: Bryophytes, pt...
Validação para a população portuguesa do Sexuality Attitudes and Beliefs Survey...
Dias, Hélia; Sim-Sim, MariaObjetivo: Descrever o processo de validação para a língua portuguesa do Sexuality Attitudes and Beliefs Survey (SABS) e suas respectivas propriedades psicométricas. Métodos: Estudo metodológico e quantitativo. Participaram 49 estudantes de enfermagem. Após o desenvolvimento da tradução do SABS, atendendo à equivalência semântica, idiomática e conceitual do conteúdo dos seus itens, procedeu-se à determinação das...
