Copyright © 2012 Union Internationale de Spéléologie. ; Azorean lava-tubes and volcanic pits adequately sampled for arthropod fauna were evaluated for species diversity and rarity. An iterative partial multiple regression analysis was performed to produce a multi-criteria index (Importance Value for Cave Conservation, IV-CC) incorporating arthropod species diversity indices but also including indices qualifyin...
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...

"Os vulcões, com todos os fenómenos a eles associados, sempre causaram um enorme fascínio ao ser humano. As fumarolas, as nascentes termais, os sismos, e as explosões ocasionais acompanhadas por lavas escorrentes, eram vistas como manifestações de deuses que habitam o interior da Terra ou como penalizações de índole espiritual. Quando na maior parte do mundo este tipo de manifestações é desconhecido, nos Açores...
XII International Symposium on vulcanospeleology. Tepoztlan, Morelos, Mexico, July 2-7, 2006. ; In this contribution the software ATLANTIS Tierra 2.0 is described as a promising tool to be used in the conservation management of the animal and plant biodiversity of caves in Macaronesia. In the Azores, the importance of cave entrances to bryophytes is twofold: i) since these are particularly humid, sheltered hab...
XI International Symposium on Vulcanospeleology, Pico Island, Azores, May 12-18, 2004. ; All Azorean lava-tubes and volcanic pits with fauna were evaluated for species diversity and rarity based on arthropods. To produce an unbiased multiple-criteria index (importance value for conservation, IV-C) incorporating arthropod species diversity based indices and indices qualifying geological and management features ...
XI International Symposium on Vulcanospeleology. Pico Island, Azores, May 12-18, 2004. ; Cave entrances in the Azores are particularly humid habitats. These provide opportunities for the colonization of a diverse assemblage of bryophyte species. Using both published data and new field sampling, we evaluated species diversity and rarity of bryophytes at the entrance of all known Azorean lava tubes and volcanic ...
