RecycleBIM approach towards integrated data management for circularity: proof o...
Kuzminykh, Artur; Parente, Manuel; Vieira, Vasco; Granja, José Luís Duarte; Azenha, MiguelTechnology, innovation, and data-driven business models are now transforming many areas of human activity to meet the challenges of a sustainable future, and the AEC sector is no exception since its material processes cause enormous resource depletion and waste generation. Even though a major part of construction and demolition waste is composed of materials with re-use/recycling potential (e.g., brick and conc...
Variability in Carcinus maenas Fecundity Along lagoons and estuaries of the Por...
N. Monteiro, J.; Ovelheiro, Andreia; Ventaneira, Ana M.; Vieira, Vasco; Teodosio, Maria; Leitão, FranciscoAlthough Carcinus maenas as a species is widely studied, research focusing on fecundity is still scarce. The main objective of this study was to evaluate size-fecundity relationships across diferent lagoons and estuaries, along the Portuguese coast, to understand how the local environment afects reproductive patterns. Between 2019 and 2020, ovigerous females were collected from the Southern (Ria Formosa and Ria...
Climate change vulnerability assessment of the main marine commercial fish and ...
Bueno-Pardo, Juan; Nobre, Daniela; Monteiro, J. N.; Sousa, Pedro M.; Costa, Eudriano; Baptista, Vânia; Ovelheiro, Andreia; Vieira, Vasco; Chicharo, LuisThis is the first attempt to apply an expert-based ecological vulnerability assessment of the effects of climate change on the main marine resources of Portugal. The vulnerability, exposure, sensitivity, adaptive capacity, and expected directional effects of 74 species of fish and invertebrates of commercial interest is estimated based on criteria related to their life-history and level of conservation or explo...
A 60-year time series analyses of the upwelling along the Portuguese Coast
Leitão, Francisco; Baptista, Vânia; Vieira, Vasco; Laginha Silva, Patrícia; Relvas, Paulo; Teodosio, M ACoastal upwelling has a significant local impact on marine coastal environment and on marine biology, namely fisheries. This study aims to evaluate climate and environmental changes in upwelling trends between 1950 and 2010. Annual, seasonal and monthly upwelling trends were studied in three different oceanographic areas of the Portuguese coast (northwestern-NW, southwestern-SW, and south-S). Two sea surface te...
The role of environmental and fisheries multi-controls in white seabream (Diplo...
Leitão, Francisco; Baptista, Vania; Teodosio, Maria; Hughes, Samantha Jane; Vieira, Vasco; Chícharo, LuísEvaluating the effects of fishing and environmental factors on fish populations are fundamental tenets of fisheries science. In this study, we assess associations between environmental variables (sea surface temperature; North Atlantic Oscillation index; upwelling; wind magnitude; westerly winds; northerly winds; river discharge) and fishing variables (fishing effort) in Diplodus sagus catch rates accounting fo...
Temperature effects on gametophyte life-history traits and geographic distribut...
Valeria Oppliger, L.; Correa, Juan A.; Engelen, Aschwin H.; Tellier, Florence; Vieira, Vasco; Faugeron, Sylvain; Valero, Myriam; Gomez, GonzaloA major determinant of the geographic distribution of a species is expected to be its physiological response to changing abiotic variables over its range. The range of a species often corresponds to the geographic extent of temperature regimes the organism can physiologically tolerate. Many species have very distinct life history stages that may exhibit different responses to environmental factors. In this stud...
Responses of the haploid-to-diploid ratio of isomorphic biphasic life cycles to...
Vieira, Vasco; Santos, RuiPrevious modelling of the haploid-to-diploid ratio (H:D) in biphasic life cycles relied on estimates of the stable population growth rate and structure. This is a projective analysis that estimates the population dynamics given current conditions. However, the environment is rarely constant and has both periodicity and random instabilities. The objective of this work was to unveil how the H:D responds to them. ...
