Biotransformation of ketamine in terminal in vivo experiments under chronic intermittent hypoxia conditions and the role of AhRNARA Subscribed
We were pioneers in describing aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) activation by chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) in a rat pre-clinical model. This model mimics hypertension (HTN) secondary to obstructive sleep apnea, enabling longitudinal investigation of hypertension development. Concerns about the influence of barbiturates on AhR-regulated enzymes led us to opt for ketamine/medetomidine anesthesia in terminal in vivo experime...
Sustainable Harvesting Alone Cannot Prevent Decline of the Green Crab Fishery in PortugalNARA Subscribed
Estuarine fisheries are of high regional socio‐economic importance worldwide, by providing an important livelihood for many families. The Portuguese green crab ( Carcinus maenas ) fishery was assessed using a socio‐economic assessment to understand the importance of the fishery and a stock assessment analysis to determine the exploitation status of the fishery during 1960–2020. Fisher knowledge revealed that crab fishing was a...
Assessment of the sensitivity of model responses to urban emission changes in support of emission reduction strategiesNARA Subscribed
The sensitivity of air quality model responses to modifications in input data (e.g. emissions, meteorology and boundary conditions) or model configurations is recognized as an important issue for air quality modelling applications in support of air quality plans. In the framework of FAIRMODE (Forum of Air Quality Modelling in Europe, https://fairmode.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ ) a dedicated air quality modelling exercise has been desig...
Variability in Carcinus maenas Fecundity Along Lagoons and Estuaries of the Portuguese CoastNARA Subscribed
Although Carcinus maenas as a species is widely studied, research focusing on fecundity is still scarce. The main objective of this study was to evaluate size-fecundity relationships across different lagoons and estuaries, along the Portuguese coast, to understand how the local environment affects reproductive patterns. Between 2019 and 2020, ovigerous females were collected from the Southern (Ria Formosa and Ria de Alvor), Ce...
To enable the process of energy transition towards carbon neutrality, it is important to educate the community on the need for social, economic, environmental and institutional transformation, and to educate and inform citizens to participate proactively in this change. This study evaluated the effectiveness of participation by elementary school students in educational activities and citizen science actions in enhancing their...
Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyon...
NEOTROPICAL ALIEN MAMMALS: a data set of occurrence and abundance of alien mammals in the NeotropicsNARA Subscribed
Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence and abundance data on mammal specie...
