- Microbial Pesticides : Biological Resources, Production and ApplicationPublication . Gouli, Vladimir; Marcelino, Jose; Gouli, SvetlanaThis monograph is a concise and accessible introduction to the history, current status, and future perspectives of microbial pesticide application. Impact on global ecology, human society, and economy, as well as a thorough and tangible description of state-of-the-art technology for the production, biological features, limitations and long-term viability of these bioproducts, is reported. The information is described per biological group (i.e., viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and microbial metabolites). We follow the strategy of Pocket guides, i.e., sound scientific data, profusely illustrated and concise, with accessible language and scientifically sound content. Detailed information is given regarding the biological resources available for the production of microbial pesticides; the microbial formulations available for control of noxious organisms; current technology and methodology for the production of microbial pesticides; application of microbial pesticides for control of noxious organisms; and collateral effects in the environment and other organisms, including higher mammals and humans.

- Eden Arthropod Azores DatabasePublication . Marcelino, Jose; Borges, Paulo A. V.; Borges, Isabel; Soares, António O.This study intended to contribute to the current international directives concerning biodiversity, aiming to document and safeguard biological resources of the globe. Our objective was to present the most widely distributed and diverse taxa recorded during the sampling phase of the EDEN project (2008-2014), specifically all arthropod fauna, at all strata, within eight representative habitats of five islands of the Azores archipelago (Santa Maria, São Miguel, Terceira, Flores and Pico)
