DNA metabarcoding reveals the diet of the invasive fish Oreochromis mossambicus...
Nogueira, S.; Curto, M.; Gkenas, C.; Afonso, F.; Dias, D.; Heumüller, J.; Félix, P. M.; Silva De Lima, Rivete; Chaínho, P.; Brito, A. C.; Ribeiro, F.Invasive species can trigger profound effects on recipient ecosystems, namely through the food web. Despite being recognized as one of the worst invasive species, little is known about the feeding ecology of the Mozambique tilapia Oreochromis mossambicus. To understand how this invasive species might impact food webs, we applied metabarcoding to analyze its diet’s composition in two African mangroves, in the Ob...
Allometric relationships to assess ontogenetic adaptative changes in three NE A...
Silva, F. Azevedo e; Brito, A. C.; Simões, T.; Pombo, A.; Marques, T. A.; Rocha, C.; Sousa, J.; Venâncio, E.; Félix, P. M.Holothuria arguinensis, Holothuria mammata and Holothuria forskali are three common sea cucumber species found in the NE Atlantic, traded in international markets and susceptible to capture. Allometric relationships reveal if the scaling relationships between biometric characters are proportional with growth, being a useful tool to understand species growth strategies. Allometric relationships of the three spec...
Phytoplankton response to nutrient pulses in an upwelling system assessed throu...
Ferreira, A.; Sa, Carolina; Silva, N.; Beltran, C.; Dias, A. M.; Brito, A. C.Nutrient enrichment in coastal areas can lead to severe disturbances in marine ecosystems with implications on ecosystem functioning. The primary goal of this study was to understand the response of phytoplankton, from a region with intense upwelling events, to pulsed nutrient enrichments. A microcosm experiment using natural assemblages was conducted, following the addition of inorganic nitrogen (N) and phosph...
Mangrove fish of São Tomé Island (Gulf of Guinea): new occurrences and habitat ...
Félix, Pedro; Chainho, Paula; Lima, R. F.; Costa, José Lino; Almeida, Armando; Domingos, Isabel; Brito, A. C.Mangroves are recognised as important nursery and feeding areas for resident and inshore fish species. However, the importance of West African mangroves to the life cycle of fish communities remains poorly studied. The present study is the first record of fish species in tropical insular mangroves for this region and its aim was to assess habitat usage by fish species. Two mangroves of São Tomé Island (Praia da...
