Abstract The M editerranean monk seal onachus monachus is the most endangered species. In this review we summarize status, ecology, and behaviour of seal, identify main threats that currently affect species conservation priorities for securing its survival. Once abundant throughout B lack S ea editerranean, as well off A tlantic coasts northwestern frica acaronesia, has recently suffered dramatic declines, both in abundance geographical range. It now estimated fewer than 700 individuals...

Abstract The monk seal is the most endangered pinniped worldwide and only one found in Mediterranean, where its distribution abundance have suffered a drastic decline last few decades. limited understanding of population demographics conservation status this species are due to both rarity evasiveness, with records biased towards occasional, mostly coastal, encounters. Current molecular techniques allow us detect DNA traces released into environment (eDNA) by any organism. We developed three...
BackgroundIncomplete vital registration systems mean that causes of death during pregnancy and childbirth are poorly understood in low-income middle-income countries. To inform global efforts to reduce maternal mortality, we compared physician review computerised analysis verbal autopsies (interpreting [InterVA] software), understand their agreement on cause circumstances mortality categories (COMCATs) the Community-Level Interventions for Pre-eclampsia (CLIP) cluster randomised...
Pregnant and lactating women in sub-Saharan Africa are vulnerable to micronutrient inadequacies, with risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Adequate intakes diverse foods associated better status recommended by the World Health Organization as part healthy eating counselling during antenatal care. However, our understanding community knowledge dietary diversity within context maternal diets is limited. We used a descriptive qualitative approach explore perceptions lactation, well influencing...
Blood pressure measurement is a marker of antenatal care quality. In well resourced settings, lower blood cutoffs for hypertension are associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. We aimed to study the associations between thresholds and outcomes diagnostic test properties these in low-resource settings.We did secondary analysis data from 22 intervention clusters Community-Level Interventions Pre-eclampsia (CLIP) cluster randomised trials (NCT01911494) India (n=6), Mozambique Pakistan (n=10)....

Abstract Background Iron-deficiency anemia is a known risk factor for several adverse perinatal outcomes, but data on its impact specific maternal morbidities less robust. Further, information associations between in early pregnancy and subsequent outcomes are understudied.

Included were women who enrolled either arm, delivered by end date, had...
In order to describe the resting and pupping habitat of Critically Endangered Mediterranean monk seal Monachus monachus facilitate identification preferences by species for suitable pupping, 94 sea caves in archipelago Madeira were located, charted, categorized using six characteristics. A cluster analysis indicated that there are eight different types cave, three groups. Observations cave usage indicate seals do not appear exhibit a preference certain resting.

Numa altura, em que a integração do idoso respostas sociais formais é, muitas vezes, incontornável para se poder responder positivamente às suas necessidades físicas, psíquicas e sociais, torna-se pertinente estudar o apoio social percebido pelos próprios idosos contexto institucional.

Abstract The Mediterranean monk seal Monachus monachus is one of the most threatened marine mammals, with only 600–700 individuals restricted to three populations off coast Western Sahara and Madeira (North Atlantic) between Greece Turkey (eastern Mediterranean). Its original range was from Black Sea Mediterranean) Gambia (western African coast), but drastically reduced by commercial hunting human persecution since early stages exploitation. We here analyse 42 mitogenomes seals, across their...

Activity patterns of the critically endangered Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus) were examined in Desertas Islands Nature Reserve archipelago Madeira. seals at sea was recorded from 25 lookout sites positioned along reserve’s coastline and correlated to site location, season, time day, state tide. From 1994 2005, activity, related mainly reproductive behaviour species, primarily three pupping within reserve. influenced by tide but not day. highest during autumn winter months...

The Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus) survives in small isolated subpopulations, some of which currently are facing extinction. In the Archipelago Madeira, species is found only at Desertas Islands, where it legally protected. last place on main island Madeira seals were sighted was Sao Lourenco Peninsula, a protected area recently created. A habitat survey carried out area, and recent sporadic sightings, indicated existence suitable resting pupping habitat. enforcement protection...

ABSTRACT The monk seal Monachus monachus is the most endangered pinniped worldwide and only one found in Mediterranean, where its distribution abundance have suffered a drastic decline last few decades. Data on status are scattered due to both rarity evasiveness, records biased towards occasional, mostly coastal, encounters. Nowadays molecular techniques allow us detect quantify minute amounts of DNA traces released environment (eDNA) by any organism. We present three qPCR-assays targeting...
