The mitochondrial genomes of Iberian freshwater and diadromous fishes
Veríssimo, Joana; Curto, Manuel; Alves, Maria Judite; de Almeida, Pedro Raposo; Aparicio, Enric; Clavero, Miguel; Chaves, CátiaThe Iberian Peninsula, in southwestern Europe, is home to a distinctive freshwater fish fauna, predominantly composed of endemic species. This is a consequence of the prolonged isolation from western Europe caused by the Pyrenees, the diverse geological and climatic gradients, and the isolation of river basins. Freshwater and diadromous fishes have diversified in the Iberian Peninsula and include 72 currently r...
Movements of hatchery-reared dusky groupers released in a northeast atlantic co...
Silva, Ana Filipa; Horta E Costa, Barbara; Costa, José Lino; Pereira, Esmeralda; Marques, João Pedro; Castro, João J.; Lino, Pedro G.No-take areas are key instruments to promote the effectiveness of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), particularly concerning the protection of endangered species such as the dusky grouper (Epinephelus marginatus). However, despite the establishment of no-take areas and the prohibition of catching this species in a southwestern Portuguese MPA (SACVMP—‘Sudoeste Alentejano’ and ‘Costa Vicentina’ Marine Park) since 201...
Metal partitioning and availability in estuarine surface sediments: changes pro...
Pedro, Sílvia; Duarte, Bernardo; Reis, Givaldo; Pereira, Eduarda; Duarte, Armando C.; Costa, José Lino; Caçador, Isabel; de Almeida, Pedro RaposoSeveral works have evidenced in the past the importance and influence of plants and terrestrial invertebrates in metal availability in soils and sediments through changes in metal speciation. In contrast, the impact of estuarine invertebrates and fishes in this process has been poorly explored. The partition of metals in estuarine surface sediments was studied in a controlled environment according to four opera...
