    Mestrado 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

    The trombone as portrayed in Portuguese iconography during the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries

    No full text
    This article studies eleven sixteenth and seventeenth century iconographical sources depicting slide brass instruments, by both Portuguese and foreign artists active in Portugal, as well as foreign artists depicting Portuguese scenes. This study addresses questions concerning aspects of trombone technique that have not previously been considered and may have implications in the way the trombone was understood elsewhere in Europe. It focuses on aspects of technique depicted that may be representative of the trombone’s contemporary design and performance and therefore the manner in which the instrument was held and indeed played. Finally, this article suggests a transitional technical period when the way of holding the single-slide trumpet may have been used to play the trombone.Publisher PD
