The emergence of the biodiversity–ecosystem functioning debate in last decade has renewed interest understanding why some communities are more easily invaded than others and how impact invasion on recipient ecosystems varies. To date most research invasibility focused taxonomic diversity, i.e., species richness. However, functional diversity should be relevant for resistance community to invasions, as extent differences among an assemblage is a major determinant ecosystem processes. Although...
A new species of eriophyoid mite, Aceria pycnocomi sp. nov., associated with Pycnocomon rutifolium (Dipsacaceae), is described and illustrated from Spain. Morphological differences distinguishing this similar are discussed. The female, male nymph eucricotes (Nalepa, 1892) kuko (Kishida, 1927) redescribed Spain Hungary, respectively; both were collected Lycium spp. (Solanaceae). these two
The macroalgal assemblages at the low intertidal zone were studied three localities on north coast of Spain between 1977 and 2002. Two these invaded end 1980s by brown seaweed Sargassum muticum (Yendo) Fensholt (Phaeophyta, Sargassaceae), whereas third locality remained free invader. In 2002, distinct algal noticed in noninvaded localities. No major changes detected locality. Apart from obvious presence S. , observed included a significant reduction abundance previous dominant species (the...
This paper draws on a year‐long ethnographic observation of the tourism‐related practices atmospheric production in Lisbon (Portugal) and protests against its unintended consequences. We expand literature design, staging, performance by introducing concept collateral atmospheres to describe “other” that emerge spaces times beyond produced atmospheres.
The impact of the invasive seaweed Sargassum muticum (Yendo) Fensholt on a low intertidal macroalgal assemblage was assessed at semiexposed rocky shore in northern Spain between 2002 and 2004. plants were removed from mature those occurring along successional process assemblage. Biomass, richness, diversity, percentage cover macroalgae experimental plots compared with unmanipulated controls. effect S. removal more than 2 years after beginning experiment negligible. Moreover, no differences...
The Iberian Lynx Conservation Breeding Program follows a multidisciplinary approach, integrated within the National Strategy for of lynx, which is carried out in cooperation with national, regional and international institutions. main goals ex situ conservation programme are to: (1) maintain genetically demographically managed captive population; (2) create new lynx pardinus free‐ranging populations through re‐introduction. To achieve first goal, aims to 85% genetic diversity presently found...

The Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus) is the most endangered felid in world. Adequate genetic management of situ and ex populations, linkage between both, require knowledge on male reproductive biology factors influencing it. We examined influence age, free-ranging versus captive conditions seasonality phenotypic, endocrine semen traits, links traits fertility. Males had relatively small testes, produced low sperm numbers, a proportion normal sperm, high motile sperm. Young (2-year-old) males...
Abstract Parasites are essential elements in healthy natural ecosystems. Also, they constitute most of the world's biodiversity. Therefore, deserve to be conserved together with their hosts. The Iberian lynx ( L ynx pardinus ) is endangered felid world because it only survives two isolated populations Peninsula, no more than 300 free‐ranging individuals. Felicola orisicola isodoroi a louse exclusively parasitic on lynx, and appears scarcer therefore its host. Current management activities...
Abstract Previous studies have shown how student circuits of consumption are mediated by the interest commercial actors. However, little attention has been paid to connections between international stays and tourism sector: they intersect with each other? Our fieldwork in Lisbon (Portugal) showed central role organizations commercializing leisure time students, approaching them ‘circuits travel’ populated also tourists. Filling a gap literature, we conceptualize students as consumers...
Abstract Seed dispersal by frugivorous animals is a key process for plant populations and communities. When frugivores consume fruits, seeds are temporarily retained inside their guts until seed deposition. Hence, information on retention times essential to estimate seed‐dispersal distances. Although it well known that affected the body size of frugivores, there an important knowledge gap effects species traits, such as pulp content. Here, we comprehensively address whether which traits...
From the 1990s until pre-COVID-19 outbreak, commercial nightlife has become central to urban branding, and tourism marketing strategies of many European cities. However, night-time leisure industry stalled in Europe as a consequence COVID-19 pandemic unprecedented lock-down physical distancing measures imposed by several national governments. This short paper aims picture uncertain scenario that Europe, Portugal, might have face post-pandemic times.
