Mortality of fish has been reported in tide pools during warm days. That means that are potential ecological traps for coastal organisms, which happen when environmental changes cause maladaptive habitat selection. Heat-waves predicted to increase intensity, duration and frequency, making it relevant investigate the role as organisms. However, heat waves can also lead acclimatization. If organisms undergo acclimatization prior being trapped pools, their survival chances may increase. Common...
The increasing demand for healthy aquatic products has contributed to the rapid growth of aquaculture. Despite many progresses, over years, in aquaculture production, animal welfare and reduction stress induced by captivity remain a challenge this sector, overcoming it is fundamental improve performance resilience environmental threats (e.g., disease outbreaks and/or climate change impacts). To address challenge, aquafeeds biofortified with natural ingredients functional properties, such as...
Understanding the fundamental laws that govern complex food web networks over large ecosystems presents high costs and oftentimes unsurmountable logistical challenges. This way, it is crucial to find smaller systems can be used as proxy webs. Intertidal rock pool environments harbour particularly biodiversity small areas. study aimed analyse their investigate potential proxies of larger for research. Highly resolved webs were compiled 116 intertidal pools from cold, temperate, subtropical...
Pentabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-99) and bisphenol A (BPA) are synthetic organic compounds present in several daily use products. Due to their physicochemical properties, they ubiquitously aquatic ecosystems considered highly persistent. Recent evidence has confirmed that both emerging toxic humans terrestrial mammals eliciting a wide range of detrimental effects at endocrine immune levels. However, the ecotoxicological responses can trigger vertebrate marine species have not yet been...
Global warming is one of the major causes reef coral ecosystems' degradation. Predictions further rise in sea surface temperatures call for urgent action. In this study, a holistic method bio-monitoring heat stress ecosystems was tested and optimized. Long-term induction antioxidant enzymes oxidative by elevated (30 °C 32 °C) assessed on fragments reef-building corals compared to control conditions (26 °C). The quantification both stress, through lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels, enzyme...
Objetivo: Verificar, na literatura científica, estratégias terapêuticas eficazes para o tratamento de disfunções mitocondriais relacionadas à obesidade e Diabetes Mellitus Tipo 2 (DM2). Métodos: Consiste em uma revisão integrativa cunho descritivo exploratório com artigos publicados entre 2019 a 2024, no idioma português inglês texto completo disponível. Foi utilizada como questão norteadora: Quais são restabelecer função mitocondrial DM2 obesidade? A busca bibliografia foi efetuada outubro...
Fish were sampled monthly in four tidal pools, for two years, on the west Portuguese coast. Species diversity of transient fish was higher than that found previous studies, other parts world. The population comprised six species: white seabream, Diplodus sargus, sand smelt, Atherina spp., thinlip grey mullet, Liza ramada, Baillon's wrasse, Symphodus bailloni, zebra cervinus and European pilchard, Sardina pilchardus. Abundance varied seasonally, yearly, among with peak numbers spring summer....
The use of tidal pools during early ontogeny is likely to enhance growth, condition and survival chances the transient marine fish larvae juveniles that them. However, diet such individuals within poorly known; this knowledge important understand why high numbers these environments in spring summer on Portuguese coast. Transient fishes were sampled monthly over a two-year period four rocky reef west composition most abundant larvae/juveniles, Diplodus sargus Atherina spp., investigated....
Gobius paganellus, Lipophrys pholis and Coryphoblennius galerita are wide-spread intertidal fish that spend their earlier life stages in rock pools, yet very little is known about site fidelity behaviour. For these species, to rockpools may result increased fitness costs a predicted scenario of warmer sea water, due the low thermal inertia water bodies. In this context, it relevant investigate species' fidelity. We made mark-recapture study assess mentioned movements within between...
