Marine litter is an emerging threat to sea turtle rookeries, yet its effects on nesting behaviour remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated how macro-litter accumulation on beaches inf...

The exploration of deep-sea resources has been on hold for decades. It is therefore of paramount importance to provide a framework and adequate tools for monitoring environmental impact. Among other d...

The Przewalski´s horse (Extinct in the Wild in 1996) is currently listed as Endangered. The first individuals were reintroduced to the Great Gobi B Strictly Protected Area (GGBSPA) in Mongolia in 1997...

O trabalho desenvolvido no âmbito do doutoramento em Biologia, de Diana Sousa Guedes, concluiu que o lixo marinho “empurra” os ninhos de tartarugas marinhas para mais perto da linha de …

Climate change is significantly affecting biodiversity, and organisms that depend on external temperature – such as ectotherms – are particularly vulnerable to these effects. Microhabitats provide re...

Species distribution models (SDMs), broadly referring to both species distribution and ecological niche modelling frameworks, are widely used to predict habitat suitability. However, their performanc...

Transnational monitoring frameworks are crucial for tracking progress and guiding biodiversity conservation policies at continental and global levels. Yet their development is constrained by the lack...

Building knowledge and open data for wildlife-friendly energy and transport infrastructure. It offers powerful tools to analyse, and visualize the impacts on terrestrial populations.

This work provides novel insights into the spatial and temporal niche differences of two model species. Our findings reveal that microhabitat preferences and activity patterns are important factors o...

This study examines how land cover changes influence species range shifts under climate change for 32 bird species in the Iberian Peninsula, highlighting the need to consider both factors in conserva...

Climate change is exposing ecosystems to novel conditions, and understanding its potential effects on species distributions is crucial. Those effects can significantly affect species with narrow envi...

Human activities are impacting biodiversity worldwide. Biodiversity monitoring is essential to assess and support conservation status and trends. Remo…

Biodiversity loss is accelerating due to human actions, and decision-making for conservation needs to be streamlined. Ex situ biodiversity modeling and monitoring based on satellite time-series data ...
