O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar obras em língua portuguesa da produção acadêmica dos últimos 12 anos (2011-2023) disponível no Portal de Periódicos Coordenação Aperfeiçoamento Pessoal Nível Superior (CAPES), baseadas na obra Crítica à Razão Dualista / Ornitorrinco (2003) Francisco Oliveira. Trata-se uma suas mais recentes, qual o autor aborda a sociedade brasileira processo globalização do capital. Os resultados apontam que, durante período analisado, houve predominância...
Riparian Ecological Infrastructures are networks of natural and semi-natural riparian areas located in human-dominated landscapes, crucial supporting processes that directly or indirectly benefit humans enhance social welfare. In this study, we developed a novel multimetric index, termed Habitat Infrastructure’s Diversity Index (HEIDI), to quantify the potential biodiversity, related ecosystem services, three managed landscapes: Intensive Agriculture, Extensive Forest Production. Metrics...
Intensive agricultural and industrial activities are often considered major sources of water contamination. Currently, riparian vegetation (RV) is increasingly being promoted as a solution to balance the potentially adverse effects that agriculture may have on quality. Nonetheless, existing RV overlook in recent modelling efforts, failing capture current amount ecosystem services provide. Here, we used Soil Water Assessment Tool ecohydrological model simulate influence ground-true i)...
The connectivity of riparian forests can be used as a proxy for the capacity zones to provide ecological functions, goods and services. In this study, we aim test potential freely available Copernicus “Riparian Zones” dataset characterize located in two European bioclimatic regions—the Mediterranean Central Baltic hydroregions—when subject gradient human disturbance characterized by land-use/land-cover hydromorphological pressures. We extracted patches using “Actual Riparian Zone” (ARZ)...
Ecological infrastructures (EI), defined as natural or semi-natural structural elements, are important to support biodiversity and could play a crucial role in counteracting the well-known impacts of intensive agriculture. Yet, importance EI remains largely unexplored Mediterranean agricultural landscapes for species providing essential ecosystem services such bats. Here, we evaluated different types – terms location (riparian vs terrestrial) vegetation physiognomy (woody non-woody) shaping...
The Riparian Ecological Infrastructure (REI) is defined by the ensemble of natural and semi-natural woody herbaceous vegetation patches located contiguously to water courses. Freshwater environments associated REI provide habitat for many species, acting as corridors linking landscapes at a wider scale. Focusing on ants, ubiquitous diverse group insects that large number ecosystem roles, we address relative importance REI-related local landscape factors drive species functional richness ant...
Ecological infrastructures (EIs) are considered relevant components in agricultural landscapes to support biodiversity and ecosystem services. We used the predatory attacks on lepidopteran dummies as a proxy assess predation rates matrix different EIs types according their location vegetation structure. aimed at comparing effect of EI intensity two intensively irrigated areas located Sorraia Tagus river valleys central Portugal. hypothesized that: (1) rate would be higher near compared with...
We aimed at assessing the role of ecological infrastructures (EI) in promoting ant biodiversity floodplain Mediterranean agricultural crops. examined and compared communities interface between EI (remnant vegetation patches) adjoining matrix (maize, rice, others) irrigated farmland. The study was conducted 2019, two landscapes valleys rivers Tagus Sorraia, Central Portugal. used Akaike information criterion for model selection to distinguish among a set possible models describing...
Ecological Infrastructures (EIs) form a network of natural and semi-natural areas crucial to support biodiversity in human-altered landscapes. Several indices have been proposed assess the ecological quality EIs, but these seldom tested using animal as response variable. The Habitat Infrastructure's Diversity Index (HEIDI) was recently developed potential EIs supporting biological communities with distinct dispersal abilities. In this study, we evaluated strength HEIDI proxy ant (short-range...
