Effects of Directive 2010/63/EU on research on wild-sourced animals: a review o...
Carrilho, Maílis; von Merten, Sophie; M.L., Mathias; Tapisso, JoaquimMost animals used in experimentation are small mammals. In the EU, Directive 2010/63/EU regulates the use of laboratory animals for experimental purposes. However, there are few guidelines for the use of wild-sourced animals, which cover permits, experimentation, transport, maintenance, and setting free after experiments. To evaluate the effect of the Directive on the study of wild-sourced animals, we conducted...
New Additions to the Mammal List Documented in the Portuguese Red Data Book
M.L., Mathias; Mira, António; Tapisso, Joaquim; Pita, Ricardo; Neves, Tomé; Cabral, João Alexandre; Barros, Paulo; Rainho, Ana; Alves, Paulo CélioThis 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...
Large-scale grid-based detection in occupancy surveys of a threatened small mam...
Oliveira, Alexandra; Medinas, Denis; Craveiro, Joao; Milhinhas, Catarina; Sabino-Marques, Helena; Mendes, Tiago; Spadoni, Giulia; Oliveira, AndréMonitoring the status and trends of wildlife is key to understand how species respond to natural and human- derived threats, and to evaluate and improve conservation planning and management. Large-scale, grid-based assessment of species distribution, abundance, and population trends over time is an important component of biodiversity monitoring. However, such assessments still present important challenges relat...
Livro Vermelho dos Mamíferos de Portugal Continental
Mathias, Maria da Luz; Fonseca, Carlos; Rodrigues, Luísa; Grilo, Clara; Lopes-Fernandes, Margarida; Palmeirim, Jorge; Santos-Reis, MargaridaA publicação deste Livro Vermelho, o primeiro inteiramente dedicado aos mamíferos, teve a ambição de ir bastante além do seu objetivo central – avaliar o risco de extinção das espécies de Portugal Continental. Entre os objetivos suplementares deste projeto incluem-se: (i) compilar toda a informação existente sobre a ocorrência de mamíferos no território nacional, como dados museológicos, resultados de censos e ...
How historical and present climat conditions affected the distribution of the m...
Tapisso, JoaquimThe Mediterranean water shrew (Neomys anomalus) is a semi-aquatic species with a wide but fragmented distribution across southern and center Europe and Asia Minor. This species is one of the least studied small mammal species not only of the Portuguese but also of the whole European fauna. As such, it is still unclear what are the major factors determining the fragmentation of the Mediterranean water shrew popu...
