- Barcoding non-indigenous macroalgae in the AzoresPublication . Santos, Rodolfo; Ferreira, Anastasija; Micael, Joana; Costa, Ana Cristina; Gil-Rodriguez, Maria; Machin, Maria; Gabriel, Daniela; Parente, Manuela I.ABSTRACT: Algae invasions in marine habitats represent a recognized worldwide threat to the integrity of native communities, to economy and even to human health. The em phasis of the present work is on non-indigenous marine macroalgae species in the Azores.
- Re-visiting Vila do Porto marina (Santa Maria, Azores archipelago)Publication . Micael, Joana; Parente, Manuela I.; Gabriel, Daniela; Costa, Ana CristinaABSTRACT: Harbours and marinas are important places of introduction and spread of non-native organisms, due to local, regional and international shipping activities, both commercial and recreational. Moreover, marina infrastructures are an increasingly common form of artificial habitat, which is likely to increase the recruitment of organisms relative to natural shores. The association of marine wildlife with artificial structures represents, generally, a preliminary indicator of the colonization status of invasive species. Santa Maria island is located in the Eastern Group of the Azores and is the southernmost island of the archipelago.
- The non indigenous macroalgae’s hide-and-seek playPublication . Parente, Manuela I.; Botelho, A.Z.; Micael, Joana; Torres, Raquel; Milla-Figueras, David; Gabriel, Daniela; Monteiro, João; Ballesteros, Enric; Prestes, Afonso L.; Costa, Ana CristinaABSTRACT: The colonization rate of Atlantic oceanic archipelagos by non-indigenous species of marine macroalgae has been shown to be higher than in continental locations. The NIS macroalgae list in the Azores that started to be compiled since the late eighties has been updated by data collected during the regional monitoring program of marine NIS. Under this program monitoring sites have been mainly located in marinas and their neighboring areas.
