  • Arceuthobium Species (Viscaceae) Parasitizing an Angiosperm: The Unique Case of A. azoricum in the Azores Islands
    Publication . Elias, Rui B.; Moura, Mónica; Roxo, Guilherme; Borges Silva, L; Pavão, Diogo C.; Resendes, Roberto; Pereira, Fernando; Nickrent, Daniel
    Arceuthobium azoricum Wiens & Hawksw. is a rare Azorean endemic epiphytic hemiparasite (mistletoe), which typically parasitizes branches of the gymnosperm Juniperus brevifolia (Hochst. ex Seub.) Antoine (Cupressaceae), which is also an Azorean endemic. Here, we describe a population of A. azoricum, on Pico Island, parasitizing Erica azorica Hochst. ex Seub. (Ericaceae), which is also an Azorean endemic. Our molecular analysis (using nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer) showed no differences between individuals parasitizing Erica and Juniperus species. Moreover, a preliminary analysis showed no differences in morphological characteristics between accessions sampled from different hosts. Given that this is the first bona fide record of Arceuthobium sp. parasitizing an angiosperm, this population represents a unique host-shifting event, and its conservation is important because it may allow new insights into host recognition mechanisms in mistletoes. Immediate attention should be given to characterizing this Pico Island population using appropriate molecular methods and additional morphological analyses.

    The diverse physiography of the Portuguese land and marine territory, spanning from continental Europe to the Atlantic archipelagos, has made it an important repository of biodiversity throughout the Pleistocene glacial cycles, leading to a remarkable diversity of species and ecosystems. This rich biodiversity is under threat from anthropogenic drivers, such as climate change, invasive species, land use changes, overexploitation, or pathogen (re)emergence. The inventory, characterisation, and study of biodiversity at inter- and intra-specific levels using genomics is crucial to promote its preservation and recovery by informing biodiversity conservation policies, management measures, and research. The participation of researchers from Portuguese institutions in the European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) initiative and its pilot effort to generate reference genomes for European biodiversity has reinforced the establishment of Biogenome Portugal. This nascent institutional network will connect the national community of researchers in genomics. Here, we describe the Portuguese contribution to ERGA’s pilot effort, which will generate high-quality reference genomes of six species from Portugal that are endemic, iconic, and/or endangered and include plants, insects, and vertebrates (fish, birds, and mammals) from mainland Portugal or the Azores islands. In addition, we outline the objectives of Biogenome Portugal, which aims to (i) promote scientific collaboration, (ii) contribute to advanced training, (iii) stimulate the participation of institutions and researchers based in Portugal in international biodiversity genomics initiatives, and (iv) contribute to the transfer of knowledge to stakeholders and engaging the public to preserve biodiversity. This initiative will strengthen biodiversity genomics research in Portugal and fuel the genomic inventory of Portuguese eukaryotic species. Such efforts will be critical to the conservation of the country’s rich biodiversity and will contribute to ERGA’s goal of generating reference genomes for European species.

  • Caracterização global da flora introduzida nos Açores
    Publication . Silva, Lurdes da Conceição Borges; Roxo, Guilherme; Moura, Mónica; Silva, Luís
    Nos Açores a introdução de espécies exóticas da flora iniciou-se com o povoamento, sendo esta prática acentuada com o incremento da mobilidade humana, da globalização, do turismo e da exploração comercial da flora. No contexto edafoclimático do arquipélago e na sequência da moda do colecionismo botânico difundido pela Europa, milhares de plantas ornamentais de espécies oriundas de África, América do Sul e do Sudeste Asiático, vieram povoar os jardins açorianos ao longo da segunda metade do século XIX. O que levou a reunir nos Açores um elevado número de espécies que era essencialmente direcionado para uma flora exótica. […].

  • A descrição da flora açoriana pelo olhar de Gaspar Frutuoso: A flora Açoriana original
    Publication . Roxo, Guilherme; Moura, Mónica
    Antes do povoamento dos Açores, espessas e impenetráveis florestas vestiam estas ilhas solitárias no meio do atlântico. Desde então a vegetação sofreu profundas alterações. A obra “ Saudades da Terra” escrita por Gaspar Frutuoso, 100 anos após o povoamento, é a única referência que nos permite reconstruir a paisagem original e luxuriante dos Açores. Gaspar Frutuoso (1522 – 1591) nascido em São Miguel foi um historiador, sacerdote e humanista Açoriano que escreveu a obra “Saudades da Terra” entre 1586 e 1590. Nesta obra são abordados os temas de história, vestuário, genealogia, toponímia, e fauna e flora dos arquipélagos da Macaronésia, com especial foco no arquipélago dos Açores.

  • A prevenção como método de conservação: O caso da Youngia japónica (crepe-do-japão) na ilha de São Miguel
    Publication . Roxo, Guilherme; Torres, Paulo; Afonso, Pedro; Rego, Rúben; Resendes, Roberto; Moura, Mónica
    Uma espécie quando vive fora da sua área de distribuição nativa é denominada de espécie exótica (do grego exotikós, “de fora”). Algumas destas espécies coexistem com as espécies nativas de forma equilibrada, no entanto quando causam impactes ambientais e económicos negativos estas são designadas de espécies invasoras. No arquipélago dos Açores mais de 60% da flora vascular corresponde a espécies exóticas. Estas plantas foram introduzidas de forma consciente ou inconsciente, propagando-se e desenvolvendo-se espontaneamente, podendo impactar o nosso dia a dia quando afetam os serviços dos ecossistemas, com consequências negativas no fornecimento de água, regulação do clima, saúde pública, valor estético e cultural das paisagens, entre outras.

    A genomic database of all Earth’s eukaryotic species could contribute to many scientific discoveries; however, only a tiny fraction of species have genomic information available. In 2018, scientists across the world united under the Earth BioGenome Project (EBP), aiming to produce a database of high-quality reference genomes containing all ~1.5 million recognized eukaryotic species. As the European node of the EBP, the European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) sought to implement a new decentralised, equitable and inclusive model for producing reference genomes. For this, ERGA launched a Pilot Project establishing the first distributed reference genome production infrastructure and testing it on 98 eukaryotic species from 33 European countries. Here we outline the infrastructure and explore its effectiveness for scaling high-quality reference genome production, whilst considering equity and inclusion. The outcomes and lessons learned provide a solid foundation for ERGA while offering key learnings to other transnational, national genomic resource projects and the EBP.

    ABSTRACT: A global genome database of all of Earth’s species diversity could be a treasure trove of scientific discoveries. However, regardless of the major advances in genome sequencing technologies, only a tiny fraction of species have genomic information available. To contribute to a more complete planetary genomic database, scientists and institutions across the world have united under the Earth BioGenome Project (EBP), which plans to sequence and assemble high-quality reference genomes for all ∼1.5 million recognized eukaryotic species through a stepwise phased approach. As the initiative transitions into Phase II, where 150,000 species are to be sequenced in just four years, worldwide participation in the project will be fundamental to success. As the European node of the EBP, the European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) seeks to implement a new decentralised, accessible, equitable and inclusive model for producing high-quality reference genomes, which will inform EBP as it scales. To embark on this mission, ERGA launched a Pilot Project to establish a network across Europe to develop and test the first infrastructure of its kind for the coordinated and distributed reference genome production on 98 European eukaryotic species from sample providers across 33 European countries. Here we outline the process and challenges faced during the development of a pilot infrastructure for the production of reference genome resources, and explore the effectiveness of this approach in terms of high-quality reference genome production, considering also equity and inclusion. The outcomes and lessons learned during this pilot provide a solid foundation for ERGA while offering key learnings to other transnational and national genomic resource projects.
