Comparison of canine sperm quality under different temperature storage

Successful gamete cryopreservation is essential to preserve the genetic pool of several species. The canine semen is known to possess a certain resilience to chilling procedures, which has a limited interest for long term gamete preservation; however, when frozen, canine sperm suffers an important decrease in quality. This feature determined the development of different extenders aiming the protection of the ce...

Towards systematic conservation planning in the Azores

Several field methodologies, analytical measures and theoretical patterns have been explored for conservation planning for arthropods in native forests of the Azores archipelago. Here, the outcomes are assembled to make recommendations on practical strategies to assess arthropod diversity and to select and manage protected native forests in the Azores. Suggestions are made on how to apply similar plans for cons...

New records of exotic spiders and insects to the Azores, and new data on recent...

The introduction of exotic species in islands is recognized as a major threat to native biota and ecosystems. In this contribution we list thirteen widespread exotic invertebrate species (two Araneae, one Orthoptera, four Hemiptera, four Coleoptera and two Diptera) that were recorded from the Azorean Islands in the last few years for the first time. In addition, we list another ten invertebrate species (two Ara...
