Terrestrial invertebrates in urban ecosystems are extremely species-rich,have many important roles in material flow and energy circulation,and are host to many human pathogens that pose threats to human health.These i...
Behavior is predicted to be a primary determinant of the success of the invasion process during the early phases of colonization.Comparing invaders with sympatric native species may provide a good approach to unravel ...
This work was developed in the frame of the project ATLANTIDA-Platform for the monitoring of the North Atlantic Ocean and tools for the sustainable exploitation of the marine resources(NORTE-01-0145-FEDER-000040);supported by Norte Portugal Regional Operational Programme(NORTE 2020);under the PORTUGAL 2020 Partnership Agreement,through the European Regional Development Fund(ERDF).
The Ria de Aveiro lagoon has been considered one of the most important Southern European long-term monitoring sites(LTER-site)concerning climate change and anthropogenic pollution.Nevertheless,studies concerning pesti...

Invertebrate species are a natural reservoir of viral genetic diversity,and invertebrate pests are widely distributed in crop fields.However,information on viruses infecting invertebrate pests of crops is limited.In t...
Background:Aquatic invertebrate species that have broad salinity tolerances may be pre-adapted for invasion success and biogeographic distributional range expansions,facilitated by human-mediated dispersal(HMD),leadin...
