Abstract Aerobiology could be used as complementary data or proxy for studying phenology, especially in species which usually are not long-distance transported, such grasses. This 21-year aerobiological study took place Évora (South Portugal), using a seven-day recording volumetric pollen trap with the aim of analysing temporal trends grass seasons. To this end, were statistically tested correlation and regression to determine features Main results show that Poaceae has high representation...
Public gardens are elements that constitute the urban green infrastructure. Such units provide ecosystem services becoming a key concern in planning strategies. In this survey allergenic potential of two public Funchal, city exhibiting sub-tropical and Mediterranean climatic features, was assessed. Different risk scenarios were considered, Allergenicity Indexes recalculated. Results show Municipal Garden exhibits an IUGZA (Index Urban Green Zone Allergenicity) 0,39 Santa Catarina Park 0,16,...
The X chromosome is known to exert a disproportionately large effect on characters related post-zygotic reproductive isolation. There also growing evidence about the important role of chromosomal regions with reduced recombination (such as inversions) in maintaining identity closely species. Using molecular markers, we examine different determination hybrid traits (viability, testes size, sperm motility and morphological anomalies) males between Drosophila madeirensis subobscura....
ABSTRACT The present study aimed to analyze the possible routes of Fusarium spp. introduction in Madeira between 1990 and 2018 elucidate factors that favored settling this fungus Island. Phytosanitary surveys were carried out several crops plants imported Madeira. isolates obtained from underground aerial organs cultured on differential media for species identification. Fungal colony spore morphology observed under a microscope identified based bibliography dichotomous keys. phytosanitary...
Abstract Drosophila madeirensis is an endemic species of Madeira that inhabits the island Laurisilva forest. Nucleotide variation in D. analysed six genomic regions and compared to previously reported for same subobscura , abundant Palearctic region closely related . The gene are distributed along O 3 inversion. arrangement monomorphic it was present ancestral populations but went extinct this after origin derived ST 3+4 arrangements. Levels nucleotide polymorphism similar those arrangements...
<p>The pollinic spectrum of the Madeira region is dominated by grass pollen, which also represents an important aeroallergen in Europe. The present work aims to analyze main features Poaceae pollen season determine allergic risk. study took place Funchal city, capital Island, over a period 10 years (2003–2012). airborne monitoring was carried out with Hirst type volumetric trap, following well-established guidelines.</p><p>In atmosphere Funchal, mean annual index 229. lasts...
Public gardens are elements that constitute the urban green infrastructure of a city. Such units provide ecosystem services becoming key concern in planning strategies and policies.In this survey allergenic potential two public Funchal was assessed, city exhibiting sub-tropical Mediterranean climatic features. Different risk scenarios were considered recalculated Allergenicity Indexes. Results show Municipal Garden exhibit IUGZA 0,39 Santa Catarina Park 0,16, hence spaces moderate low...
