The Main Gaps and Nonconformities Identified in the Accountability in SNC-AP
Teixeira, Daniela; Gomes, PatríciaThis research study is part of the issue of public accounting with the national standards, in terms of the quality of financial information and perspective of external control of Portuguese Polytechnics (PP). Specifically, this study has two main objectives: (1) study the application of the new public accounting model based on IPSAS (SNC-AP) by PP, and (2) understand the main gaps and nonconformities identified...
Determinants of Small Mammals’ Body Condition in Eucalyptus Dominated Landscapes
C. Afonso, Beatriz; Matias, Gonçalo; Teixeira, Daniela; Pereira, Rita; Rosalino, Luís MiguelThe timber industry has increased considerably in recent decades to meet human needs for wood. In Portugal, Eucalyptus plantations are the most common use of forested land, presenting the largest coverage of Eucalyptus globulus in Europe. Although it is established that this landscape can affect biodiversity patterns, it is not clear what its role in shaping small mammals’ body condition is. Here, we tested the...

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...
Compostos bioativos para a saúde e segurança alimentar
Mota, Joana; Belas, Adriana; Marques, Cátia; Teixeira, Daniela; Agrícola, Ricardo; Resendes, Ana; Prazeres, José Manuel Cardoso de SousaAtualmente, o tópico dos compostos bioativos para a segurança alimentar tem sido alvo de grande foco, sobretudo numa época em que a utilização de desinfetantes químicos e de antibióticos é cada vez mais evitada na área agro-alimentar, dentro de um contexto One Health. Deste modo, o estudo de compostos moleculares com capacidade de inibir a presença de bactérias ou fungos patogénicos ou de promover uma população...
Even generalist and resilient species are affected by anthropic disturbance: ev...
Rosalino, L. M.; Teixeira, Daniela; Camarinha, Cláudia; Pereira, Guilherme; Magalhães, Ana; Castro, Guilherme; Lima, Cátia; Fonseca, CarlosHumans have negatively impacted most ecosystems on Earth, altering how species use habitats and resources available to them, but also their circadian rhythms. Among many factors affecting animal activity patterns, conversion of native habitat into production forests and hunting are critical, and their impacts may be exacerbated by seasonal weather conditions. Both these factors are issues in Mediterranean Europ...
Drivers of occupancy patterns for the red fox, Vulpes vulpes, in Mediterranean ...
Castro, Guilherme; Teixeira, Daniela; Ares-Pereira, Guilherme; Lima, Cátia; Magalhães, Ana; Camarinha, Cláudia; Guillera‐Arroita, GurutzetaThe replacement of natural areas with forestry plantations is a worldwide expanding process with direct consequences for biodiversity and ecosystem functionality. In the Mediterranean region, Eucalyptus spp. plantations are widespread, forming monospecific landscapes that in Portugal dominate most of its forested areas. The reduction in the availability of native habitats induces important challenges to native ...
Eucalyptus plantations alter spatiotemporal relationships of wild ungulates
Ares-Pereira, Guilherme; Rosalino, L. M.; Teixeira, Daniela; Castro, Guilherme; Magalhães, Ana; Lima, Cátia; Fonseca, Carlos; Torres, Rita TinocoEucalyptus plantations, the second most economically important exotic tree in Europe, cover circa 1,5 million hectares on this continent. However, little is known about their effect on the ecological patterns of widely distributed and increasing populations of wild ungulates. This lack of knowledge jeopardizes our ability to correctly manage these populations in increasingly ubiquitous exotic forests. We aimed ...
Determinants of the relative abundance of rodents in landscapes dominated by Eu...
Teixeira, Daniela; Magalhães, Ana; Ares-Pereira, Guilherme; Lima, Cátia; Castro, Guilherme; Camarinha, Cláudia; Fonseca, Carlos; Rosalino, L. M.Forestry plantations have increased considerably over recent decades to fulfil human demand for wood, pulp and paper. Eucalyptus globulus Labill is one of the most abundant plantation species, particularly in Europe, where its largest presence is in Portugal. Furthermore, plantations in Mediterranean areas, such as Portugal, frequently suffer from forest fires, and thus it is crucial to understand their impacts...
