Spatio-temporal variation in seed production in three Euphorbia species and the...

Comparative studies on the reproductive biology of co-occurring related plant species have provided valuable information for the interpretation of ecological and evolutionary phenomena, with direct application in conservation management of plant populations. The aims of this thesis were to identify the causes of pre-dispersal reproductive losses in three Euphorbia species (the Mediterranean E. characias and the...

Synonymy of Orthomus susanae Serrano & Borges, 2009 with Orthomus annae (Donaba...

Copyright © 2012 Magnolia Press. ; [...]. Some time after the publication of their paper in Zootaxa, the authors found out that another Madeiran Orthomus species had been described one month earlier (Donabauer 2008). Taking in consideration the morphological characteristics of the specimens described in both papers and the coincidence of the type localities no doubts remained regarding the synonymy between the...

New data on the spatial distribution of endemic ground beetles (Coleoptera: Car...

Based on standardised sampling methods covering a large fraction of native forest on Madeira Island, new distribution data is reported for 33 species of endemic ground beetles. Most of these species have been found in new localities and their distribution range is now better known. Dromius angustus alutaceus Wollaston, 1857 was "rediscovered" after more than fifty years since the last known record and two rare ...

Description of the Terrestrial and marine biodiversity of the Azores

1. Os Açores são um arquipélago isolado de nove ilhas oceânicas, pertence à região biogeográfica da Macaronésia e está entre as regiões mais ricas em fungos, plantas e animais da Europa. Este capítulo destaca o que sabemos sobre os fungos, a fauna e a flora dos habitats terrestres, dulçaquícolas e marinhos dos Açores. 2. Neste capítulo, são apresentadas as estimativas do número total de espécies e subespécies c...

Using predictive models of species distribution to validate biodiversity data: ...

Os modelos preditivos de distribuição de espécies são uma importante ferramenta para lidar com a falta de informação biogeográfica existente para a maior parte dos taxa. Com esta técnica, estabelece -se uma relação entre a variável dependente (presença/ausência de uma espécie) e um conjunto de variáveis potencialmente preditoras, e é criado um mapa com a probabilidade de presença da espécie para uma determinada...

The arthropods (Arthropoda) of Madeira and Selvagens archipelagos

Os artrópodes terrestres (e.g. aranhas, ácaros, outros aracnídeos, crustáceos, centopeias, diplópodes, insectos, etc.) são o grupo de animais dominante na Terra. Nos arquipélagos da Madeira e das Selvagens, este grupo é também o mais diverso e inclui espécies associadas a uma grande variedade de ecossistemas. 2. Com base na revisão detalhada da bibliografia existente e de outros registos não publicados, foram l...
