Avaliação do impacto de métodos florestais e de seca severa na população de coelho-bravo na mata nacional de Quiaios
No full textMestrado em Ecologia, Biodiversidade e Gestão de EcossistemasO papel determinante na cadeia trófica, faz do coelho-bravo (Oryctolagus
cuniculus) uma espécie chave dos ecossistemas ibéricos onde constitui a principal
presa de um vasto leque de predadores, alguns dos quais de elevado valor de
conservação. Este factor confere uma relevância ainda maior ao acentuado
declínio que esta espécie tem sofrido, na generalidade dos ecossistemas
mediterrânicos, provocado pela perda e fragmentação do seu habitat, por doenças,
predação e pressão cinegética excessiva. Neste trabalho efectuou-se o estudo e
caracterização das dinâmicas populacionais de coelho-bravo na Mata Nacional de
Quiaios, uma floresta costeira no centro de Portugal, incluída na rede Natura 2000.
Pretendeu-se por um lado, estudar o impacto de métodos florestais,
nomeadamente actividades de silvicultura preventiva contra o avanço de espécies
vegetais invasoras, e, por outro, o impacto de um período de seca severa nas suas
populações. Foram monitorizadas as populações de coelho-bravo duas vezes por
ano, Verão e Inverno, nas várias zonas preestabelecidas. A primeira época
estudada foi o Verão de 2002 e a última foi a de Inverno de 2008. A determinação
da abundância do coelho-bravo foi feita através da contagem de latrinas por
classes, ao longo de percursos predefinidos. Foram considerados os seguintes
biótopos: (i) zona de matos densos; (ii) zona de matos com baixa densidade de
acácia; (iii) zona de acacial; (iv) zona de limpeza mecânica de 2005; (v) zona de
limpeza mecânica de 2006; (vi) zona de pinhal esparso; (vii) zona de pinhal denso;
(viii) zona de duna. Os resultados obtidos confirmam os efeitos das limpezas
mecânicas, sugerindo, no entanto, um impacto diferenciado consoante a
metodologia aplicada. O método utilizado em 2005 foi mais agressivo e provocou
uma taxa de mortalidade mais elevada, enquanto que, o de 2006, apenas originou
o abandono do local. No que diz respeito ao efeito da seca, os resultados também
apontam no sentido do seu impacto nas populações dado que foram observadas
fortes diminuições coincidentes com o referido período. De salientar, ainda, que
este impacto dependeu do habitat estudado, dado que, em alguns dos biótopos,
como a duna e o acacial, não foram verificadas quebras na abundância. Este facto
deveu-se, provavelmente, ao tipo de vegetação dominante nestes habitats,
adaptada a ambientes secos, pelo que os períodos de seca não se devem reflectir
de forma tão evidente na disponibilidade alimentar. Este trabalho mostrou como
uma monitorização de coelho-bravo, utilizando metodologias simples e
económicas, pode constituir um importante contributo para uma mais correcta
gestão dos ecossistemas ibéricos.The determinant role in trophic chain, makes wild rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) a
key species of Iberian ecosystems, being the main prey to a large number of
predators, some of which of great conservation value. This factor confers a higher
relevance to its marked decline observed on the majority of mediterranic
ecosystems, caused by habitat loss and fragmentation, and diseases, predation
and high hunting pressure. This work aimed to study and characterize the wild
rabbit population dynamics in Quiaios National Forest, a coastal forest in the centre
of Portugal included in a Natura 2000 network site. It was intended to study, in one
hand, the impact of forest practices, such as activities of preventive forestry against
the advance of invading species, and, in other hand, the impact of a severe drought
on populations. Wild rabbit populations were monitorized twice a year, Summer and
Winter, in predefined areas. Summer 2002 was the first studied season and Winter
2008 was the last. The determination of wild rabbit abundances was carried on
through latrine counts along the sampling transects. Several biotopes were defined:
(i) dense scrublands; (ii) scrublands with low densities of Acacia longifolia; (iii)
scrublands with high densities of Acacia longifolia; (iv) the 2005 intervention area;
(v) the 2006 intervention area; (vi) sparse pine forest; (vii) dense pine forest; (viii)
dune. The results confirm the effect of interventions suggesting, however, a
differentiated impact depending on the applied methodology. The 2005 intervention
was more aggressive provoking a higher mortality rate, while the 2006 intervention
only cause the area abandonment. Concerning drought effects, results also point
toward to an impact in populations given the strong reductions observed in its
abundance, coincident to that period. However, it has to be referred that this impact
showed to depend on the biotope, because in some of them, like dune and
scrublands with high densities of Acacia longifolia, decreases in species abundance
wasn’t detected. This fact is, probably, related with the dominant vegetation type of
those areas, adapted to dry environments, with lower effects on the rabbit’s food
availability. This work showed a how a wild rabbit monitorization, using simple and
economical methodologies, can provide reliable and comparable results that may
constitute an important contribute to a sustainable management of Iberian forest
areas

Atrichobrunettia (Pachybrunettia) Bravo, new subgenus
No full textAtrichobrunettia (Pachybrunettia) Bravo, new subgenus Type species: Atrichobrunettia minuta Bravo, 2006 by present designation. Etymology. Pachybrunettia is a combination of the Greek prefix pachy meaning thick and Brunettia, a genus of Psychodinae, Mormiini, Brunettiini, and refers to the thick eye bridge present in the species of this subgenus. Diagnosis. Eye bridge contiguous with length of 4 facet row; eye bridge wide, 0.23–0.27 x length of the vertex to the inferior margin of the clypeus; 13 flagellomeres; R 5 terminating slightly behind the apex; posthypandrial plate extended posteriorly, plate-like with apical alveoli; aedeagal apodeme racket-shaped. Description. Male. Head subcircular in frontal view (Figs. 4, 13). Eye bridge contiguous with length of 4 facet rows, characteristically wide, 0.27 x the distance from the vertex to the inferior margin of the clypeus (Figs. 4, 13). Antenna: scape cylindrical (Figs. 5, 14); pedicel spherical (Figs. 5, 14); 13 flagellomeres, 1 st– 12 th nodiform, eccentric (Figs. 6, 14), 13 th with long apiculus (Bravo 2006: figs. 36–37). Maxillary palp with 4 segments (Fig. 15); first segment short, 0.25 x – 0.40 x the length of the second segment. Wing (Figs. 1, 9, 16): wing membrane naked, with few bristles on its margin; wings with narrow costal and anal areas and acute apex; Rs pectinate; M 1 + 2 fork basal or apical to R 1 + 2 fork; R 5 ending slightly behind apex. Naked epandrium with only one, oval foramen (Figs. 3, 11, 20). Hypandrium narrow, U-shaped (Figs. 2, 12, 17, 18). Post-hypandrial plate long, with sparse apical alveoli, terminating beside the apex of the aedeagus (Figs. 2, 12, 17, 18). Naked gonocoxite cylindrical, the same length as the gonostyle. Gonocoxal apodeme slender and separate, not forming a bridge (Figs. 2, 12, 17, 18). A pair of narrow, well sclerotized sclerites (ns, figs. 2, 12), probably an expansion of the gonocoxal apodeme, that ends near the base of aedeagus (ns, fig. 10); these sclerites are probably an expansion of the gonocoxal apodeme. Gonostylus with sparse alveoli, larger at the base than the apex, converging to the midline; a pair of large setae present at the apex of the gonostylus. Parameres platelike, nearly as wide or wider than the gonocoxite (Figs. 2, 12, 17). Aedeagal apodeme racket-shaped, short, 0.75 x the length of the paramere (Figs. 2, 12, 17). Tergite 10 triangular (Figs. 3, 20), smaller and ending before than the apex of sternite 10. Distribution: the new subgenus Pachybrunettia is currently known only from Brazil, but this subgenus probably has a wider distribution in the Neotropical region. Comments. The new subgenus Pachybrunettia is included within Brunettiina because it presents all the synapomorphies proposed by Bravo (2006) for the subtribe. Pachybrunettia is proposed as a subgenus of the genus Atrichobrunettia. Bravo (2006) proposed two synapomorphies for the genus Atrichobrunettia: 1) wing membrane naked, with small patches of bristles on its margin and 2) M 1 + 2 fork basal to R 2 + 3 fork. Only the first synapomorphy of Atrichobrunettia, wing membrane naked, with small patches of bristles on its margin, is observed in all the species of the new subgenus Pachybrunettia. The relative position of the R and M forks is polymorphic in the new subgenus Pachybrunettia. Two of the three new species of Pachybrunettia described below present the M 1 + 2 fork basal to R 2 + 3 fork as proposed to the genus Atrichobrunettia. The other species present M 1 + 2 fork apical to R 2 + 3 fork; this condition could be interpreted as an automorphy that can be corroborated with future cladistic study. In this paper, is proposed that the position of the M 1 + 2 fork basal to R 2 + 3 fork is the primitive condition in the new subgenus Pachybrunettia. The species of the new subgenus Pachybrunettia are easily distinguished from the others species of the genus Atrichobrunettia by the presence of wide contiguous eye bridge, aedeagal apodeme short and racketshaped, plate-like parameres and the presence of a pair of well sclerotized, narrow sclerites, linking the base of the aedeagus to the apices of the gonocoxal apodeme. Of these characters, the wide eye bridge and the pair of narrow sclerites are exclusive to the species of the subgenus Pachybrunettia and are proposed as synapomorphies for this new subgenus.Published as part of Bravo, Freddy, 2007, Descriptions of a new subgenus and two new species of Atrichobrunettia Satchell (Diptera, Psychodidae) from the Neotropical region, pp. 61-68 in Zootaxa 1590 on pages 62-63, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17855
EHealth e social networks per la realizzazione di communities socio-sanitarie in tema di malattie rare. Riflessioni giuridiche tra diritti fondamentali e responsabilità civile
No full textIl contributo è da considerarsi una prosecuzione dell’attività di ricerca finanziata condotta presso il CIRSFID dell’Università di Bologna sul tema «e-Health e bioinformatica clinica. Aspetti di diritto dell’informatica a partire da un caso di studio significativo» (Resp. scientifico: F. Bravo), incentrata sull’analisi delle principali questioni giuridiche (vertenti in materia di diritto contrattuale e di protezione dei dati personali) relative all’utilizzo dei social networks per le communities socio-sanitarie dedicate a pazienti affetti da malattie rare (ed alle quali aderiscono anche altri stakeholders, tra cui: parenti dei pazienti, associazioni di malati, ricercatori, medici, personale paramedico ed eventualmente case farmaceutiche). Nel presente contributo l’indagine viene spostata sul versante dei diritti fondamentali dell’uomo (con particolare riferimento alla Carta dei diritti fondamentali dell’UE), in vista di un successivo ampliamento del discorso in tema di responsabilità civile

Alvarez Bravo México" (con cursiva). Esta imagen aparece en el libro "Manuel Álvarez Bravo CIEN AÑOS, CIEN DÍAS", aunque en esta publicación se señala como fecha el año 1969. Manuel Álvarez Bravo, pionero de la fotografía artística en México, es considerado como el mayor representante de la fotografía latinoamericana del siglo XX. Su obra se extiende de finales de la década de 1920 a la de los noventas. Nace en el centro de la capital mexicana el 4 de febrero de 1902. Interrumpe sus estudios a los doce años al fallecer su padre y comienza a trabajar para ayudar en la economía familiar, en una fábrica textil y posteríormente en la Tesorería General de la Nación. En un inicio aborda el pictorialismo, influido por sus estudios de pintura en la Academia de San Carlos. Explora luego las estéticas modernas, con el descubrimiento del cubismo y las posibilidades de la abstracción. En 1930 se inicia en la fotografía documental: Tina Modotti, al ser deportada de México, le deja su trabajo en la revista Mexican Folkways. Así trabaja para los pintores muralistas: Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, David Alfaro Siqueiros. De 1943 a 1959 trabaja en el cine realizando fotografías fijas, lo que lo lleva a producir algunos experimentos personales. En 1960, volvió a experimentar tomando fotografías a color, las cuales son descriptivas y expresivas en sus temas, mientras que para 1970 comenzó a trabajar con impresión en platino, produciendo nuevas impresiones de viejos negativos. En vida, presentó más de 150 exposiciones individuales y participó en más de 200 exposiciones colectivas. Falleció el 19 de octubre de 2002, a los cien años.
