Comparison of the efficiency of different eradication treatments to minimize th...
Santos, Pedro M.; Venâncio, Eliana; Dionísio, Maria Ana; Heumüller, Joshua; Chainho, Paula; Pombo, AnaIn 2017, aquaculture producers of the Albufeira lagoon, Portugal, reported an invasion of tunicates that was disrupting mussel production, particularly the tunicate Styela plicata (Lesueur, 1823). A totally effective eradication method still does not exist, particularly for S. plicata, and the effects of the eradication treatments on bivalves’ performance are also poorly understood. Our study examined the effec...
A multi-taxa assessment of aquatic non-indigenous species introduced into Iber...
Zamora-Marín, Jose M.; Ruiz-Navarro, Ana; Oficialdegui, Francisco J.; Anastácio, Pedro M.; Miranda, Rafael; García-Murillo, Pablo; Cobo, FernandoAquatic ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to the introduction of non-indigenous species (NIS), lead-ing to multi-faceted ecological, economic and health impacts worldwide. The Iberian Peninsula comprises an exceptionally biodiverse Mediterranean region with a high number of threatened and endemic aquatic species, most of them strongly impacted by biological invasions. Following a structured approach that c...
Diversity and patterns of marine non-native species in the archipelagos of Maca...
Castro, Nuno; Carlton, James T.; Costa, Ana C.; Marques, Carolina S.; Hewitt, Chad L.; Cacabelos, Eva; Lopes, Evandro; Gizzi, FrancescaAims The present study is the first attempt to grasp the scale and richness of marine biological invasions in Macaronesia. We pioneered a comprehensive non-native species (NNS), inventory in the region to determine their diversity patterns and native distribution origins. NNS were defined here as the result of both introductions and range expansions. We also used statistical modelling to examine relationships a...
Spatial and Temporal Distribution of the Multi-element Signatures of the Estuar...
Vieira, Soraia; Barrulas, Pedro; Chainho, Paula; Barrocas Dias, Cristina; Sroczyńska, Katarzyna; Adão, HelenaFilter-feeder bivalves such as non-indigenous Ruditapes philippinarum absorb and accumulate metals, resulting in multi-element profiles. The goal of this study was to analyse spatial and temporal distributions of the multi-element signatures in R. philippinarum populations of the Tagus and Sado estuaries (SW coast, Portugal). The clam and sediment samples were collected at three sampling sites in each estuary, ...
Multi-element profiles as a fingerprint to discriminate estuarine R. philippina...
Vieira, Soraia; Barrulas, Pedro; Chainho, Paula; Dias, Cristina; Sroczynska, Katarzyna; Adão, HelenaFilter-feeder bivalves such as non-indigenous Ruditapes philippinarum absorb and accumulate metals, resulting in multi-element signatures. The goal of this study was to analyse if multi-element profiles of R. philippinarum can discriminate between spatial and temporal patterns of estuarine bivalves’ populations. Spatial and temporal variability patterns of chemical profiles were assessed by collecting samples o...

Community perceptions about mangrove ecosystem services and threats
Afonso, Filipa; Félix, Pedro M.; Chainho, Paula; Heumüller, Joshua; F. De Lima, Ricardo; Ribeiro, Filipe; Brito, Ana C.The Ecosystem Service Framework discloses the ecosystem’s benefits to society and provides support to preserve threatened systems while considering the economic and social dimensions of the communities more dependent on its resources. Mangroves provide important and valuable goods and services to communities, at different spatial and temporal scales. Nevertheless, over-exploitation of these resources can genera...
Spatial and temporal variations of Cockle (Cerastoderma spp.) populations in tw...
Santos, Cátia; Cabral, Sara; Carvalho, Frederico; Sousa, António; Goulding, Thomas; Ramajal, João; Medeiros, João Paulo; Silva, GildaCockles are amongst the most exploited bivalve species in Portugal, playing an important ecological and socioeconomic role in coastal ecosystems. Two sympatric species of cockles, Cerastoderma edule (Linnaeus, 1758) and Cerastoderma glaucum (Bruguiere, 1789-1792) may co-occur in estuaries and coastal lagoons in mixed populations along the European Atlantic coast, namely in Portugal, France and the United Kingdo...
