The mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s disease (PD) are still not fully understood. Glycosylation is an important post-translational modification that affects protein function, cell-cell contacts and inflammation and can be modified in pathologic conditions. Although the involvement of aberrant glycosylation has been proposed for PD, the knowledge of the diversity of glycans and their role in PD is still mi...
MAMMALS IN PORTUGAL : A data set of terrestrial, volant, and marine mammal occurrences in P ortugalNARA Subscribed
Mammals are threatened worldwide, with ~26% of all species being included in the IUCN threatened categories. This overall pattern is primarily associated with habitat loss or degradation, and human persecution for terrestrial mammals, and pollution, open net fishing, climate change, and prey depletion for marine mammals. Mammals play a key role in maintaining ecosystems functionality and resilience, and therefore information o...
Field estimation of daily ration of Norway lobster ( Nephrops norvegicus ) in the south of PortugalNARA Subscribed
Daily ration estimates of Norway lobster ( Nephrops norvegicus ) from field samplings over a 24‐h cycle were obtained. Four tows were conducted in the middle continental slope, off the south coast of Portugal. The results from Eggers (1977, 1979) and Elliot & Persson (1978) daily ration models were compared, by the Worobec 8‐method (1984), showing no significant differences among them. The estimates of food consumption obtaine...
Fate of discards from deep water crustacean trawl fishery off the south coast of PortugalNARA Subscribed
Trawling for crustaceans takes place on the south coast of Portugal at depths between 200 and 800 m. Large amounts of discards are released back to sea, reaching the bottom in the general area where trawling occurs. The objective of this work was to study the time taken for decomposition of the discards, to identify the most important scavenging species involved, and to evaluate the impact on the species targeted by the fisher...
