The aim of the present study is to assess the stress response of a marine fish, sea bream (Sparus aurata) exposed to increasing water temperature and different water acidity (alone or in combination). Here we present preliminary data on temperature effects on S. aurata at a cellular and molecular level. In addition, tissue samples from muscle, livers, gills and intestine are examined to evaluate any alterations...
In this paper we propose a syntaxonomic scheme, according to the Code of Phytosociological Nomenclature for the vegetation of Portugal: continental and the Azores and Madeira archipelagos. The scheme encompasses 827 associations ( 4 communities), 245 alliances, 116 orders, and 64 vegetation classes. The 58 suballiances, 2 suborders and 4 classes, are also mentioned, as auxilliary ranks. For the higher syntaxa d...

Em Novembro de 2007 realizou-se uma reunião entre a Direcção da ALFA e Instituto da Conservação da Natureza e da Biodiversidade (ICNB). Ficou então decidido que a ALFA tomaria a seu cargo a elaboração da Checklist da Flora de Portugal (Continental, Açores e Madeira). Após quase 3 anos de trabalho, a ALFA apresentou publicamente a Checklist durante os VIII Encontros Internacionais de Fitossociologia – ALFA, que ...
Neste trabalho apresenta-se um catálogo de todos os sintaxa, de associação até classe presentes em Portugal continental, Madeira, Açores e Selvagens. Foram reconhecidas 755 associações, 236 alianças, 51 subalianças, 114 ordens, 2 subordens, 4 subclasses e 64 classes. As ilhas Desertas, Selvagens e o Arquipélago dos Açores são os territórios nacionais com menos informação, não havendo qualquer sintáxone descrito...
The exotic annual forb Cotula coronopifolia has locally invaded salt marsh communities naturally dominated by Spergularia marina along large parts of the Iberian coastline. While the floristic composition of C. coronopifolia dominated communities on the Atlantic coast of northern Portugal has already been described, this information was missing for the southern part of the country. We carried out a phytosociolo...
O Daucus muricatus é uma planta anual, ruderal e arvense, própria de margas argilosas (Pujadas Salvà in Flora Iberica, X: 120, 2003). A descoberta de uma população desta espécie na Serra de Chavães, no contacto entre as regiões Eurosiberiana e Mediterrânica, constitui uma novidade não só para a província de Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro (cf. Rozeira, A Flora da província de Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro in Memórias...
The species formerly recognized as Teucrium scorodonia in Madeira is here described as new: Teucrium francoi M. Seq., Capelo, J.C. Costa & R. Jardim. Morphologically close to species of Teucrium gr. scorodonia [T. scorodonia L., T. pseudoscorodonia Desf., T. siculum (Raf.) Guss. and T. kotschyanum Poech], it exhibits, nonetheless, some distinct diagnostic characters. The indumentum density and type of hairs of ...
An attempt to obtain a consistent spatial model of natural potential vegetation (NPV) for the mainland Portuguese territory is reported. Spatial modeling procedures performed in a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment, aimed to operationalize phytosociological expert-knowledge about the putative distribution of potential zona1 forest communities dominam in the Portuguese continental territories. The p...
