Antarctic toothfish Dissostichus mawsoni as a bioindicator of trace and rare ea...
Queirós, José P.; Machado, João F.; Pereira, Eduarda; Bustamante, Paco; Carvalho, Lina; Soares, Eugénio; Stevens, Darren W.; Xavier, José CarlosThe Antarctic toothfish Dissostichus mawsoni is a Southern Ocean long-lived top predator which is regularly captured on an annual fishery operating in the region. By its biological and ecological characteristics, it is a potential bioindicator for the concentrations of trace and rare earth elements in the Antarctic. As these elements are mainly transferred through the diet and a deficiency or excess of these el...

Quantifying annual spatial consistency in chick-rearing seabirds to inform impo...
Beal, Martin; Catry, Paulo Xavier; Phillips, Richard A.; Oppel, Steffen; Arnould, John P. Y.; Bogdanova, Maria I.; Bolton, Mark; Carneiro, Ana P. B.Animal tracking has afforded insights into patterns of space use in numerous species and thereby informed areabased conservation planning. A crucial consideration when estimating spatial distributions from tracking data is whether the sample of tracked animals is representative of the wider population. However, it may also be important to track animals in multiple years to capture changes in distribution in res...
Bioluminescence in cephalopods: biodiversity, biogeography and research trends
Otjacques, Eve; Pissarra, Vasco; Bolstad, Kathrin; Xavier, José Carlos; McFall-Ngai, MargaretNumerous terrestrial and marine organisms, including cephalopods, are capable of light emission. In addition to communication, bioluminescence is used for attraction and defense mechanisms. The present review aims to: (i) present updated information on the taxonomic diversity of luminous cephalopods and morphological features, (ii) describe large-scale biogeographic patterns, and (iii) show the research trends ...
Impact of climate change on the distribution and habitat suitability of the wor...
Guerreiro, Miguel Fernandes; Borges, Francisco Oliveira; Santos, Catarina Pereira; Xavier, José Carlos; Hoving, Henk-JanClimate change is expected to have major negative effects on marine life across phylogenetic groups. Cephalopods, however, have life history characteristics that suggest they may benefit from certain climate change scenarios. Of all cephalopods, squids reach the greatest biomasses; as a result, they are of substantial importance for human and predator consumption. To test the hypothesis that the effects of clim...
