SUMMARY
During 2006 the Centre for Environmental Biology (CBA) had a staff of 49 full
members, of which 48 holding a Ph.D. degree, plus around 200 temporary members, about
80 of which were Ph.D. students.
The research activities of the CBA were developed under its four research subunits:
I – Functional and Developmental Biology, II – Conservation Biology, III – Biology and
Environmental Quality, IV - Evolutionary Biology. These were mostly supported by the
laboratories and other facilities provided by the Departments of Animal Biology and Plant
Biology (Faculty of Science of Lisbon-FCUL), the Faculty of Pharmacy (UL), the National
Museum of Natural History-Bocage Museum (UL) and by the Centre Field Station, the
Herdade da Ribeira Abaixo in Grândola.
A total of 27 R&D projects and contracts were initiated in 2006, and 25 more were
in progress. These projects were financed by the pluriannual funding of the Unit or/and
several kinds of external funds (national and international). Most of the temporary
members were developing their work with financial support of these research projects. In
2006 10 Ph.D. students and 11 Master students concluded successfully their theses.
Moreover, there was, in 2006, an increase in the number and quality, measured by
the Impact Factor, of the publications of CBA (ten top publications, IF from 2.804 to
14.864), in comparison with 2005. A total of 76 papers were published, of which 60 in
impact factor journals and 7 more papers were published as chapters in books edited by
national or international publishers. Worth to be mentioned is the publication of three
books – “Botânica: Passagem à Vida Terrestre” (Editora Lidel, Lisboa), “O cavalo do Sorraia.
Um património histórico e genético a preservar” (Edições Cosmos, Alpiarça) and “Os peixes do
Guadiana: que futuro? Guia de Peixes do Guadiana Português” (Edições Cosmos, Alpiarça) –
aiming at a deeper knowledge of particular species or biological models. Furthermore, 131
oral communications and posters were presented in 43 national and international
congresses or meetings.
The CBA has actively collaborated, as in previous years, with other public and
private entities, in Portugal and abroad, through joint-research projects, formative actions
and teaching activities or by providing expertise co-operation. Also as before, the CBA has
been involved in the following actions, directed at high school students: “Dias Abertos da
FCUL” and the programme Biology in summer (“Ciência Viva”). Additionally, the
Laboratory of Electron Microscopy has been visited by 137 young students of 4 high
schools, the Laboratory of Genetics has provided around 200 genetic analyses of parentage
verification and individual genetic identification to breeders associations and official
registries and the Field Station has accommodated for short periods several university
students (under and post graduation levels), some coming from other research centres or
universities. Furthermore, the CBA has organized the Series “Encontros de Scientia”, the
public presentation of the “InBio-A Partnership for Bidiversity” in June 2006, and has
partially supported the Workshop “Rede GBIF: O protocolo DiGIR”, held in Lisbon, in the
Natural History Museum, in November 2006. Several CBA investigators have also
attended, either as lecturers or participants, a relevant number of advanced courses.
Regarding community services, the CBA was partner or the leader institution in
several projects directed at the management of protected areas or of threatened species
and was deeply involved in studies on the assessment of the environmental quality
funded by diverse public and private institutions, such as EDIA, ERENA, LPN, ICN and
DGRF. Several articles directed at the general public were published and a major effort
was directed at the implementation of diverse actions with Environmental Education
purposes in the Field Station.
Finally, and also during 2006, a CBA project funded by FCT under the “Programa
Nacional de Re-equipamento Científico” was almost completed, allowing a marked
increase in the laboratorial facilities available. In addition, during the past year the CBA
was the leader institution or a partner in 51 research projects submitted for funding to
FCT. In June 2006 the CBA jointly with CIBIO (Centre for Biodiversity and Genetical
Resources, FCUP) and CEABN (Centre for Applied Ecology Prof. Baeta Neves, ISA)
constituted the consortium InBio-A partnership for Biodiversity (Research Network in
Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology) and together submitted to FCT an application to
become an Associate Laboratory was submitted to the FCT. Under the InBio consortium
the CBA has applied for post-doc researchers recruitment to the FCT “Programa Nacional
de Contratação de Doutores” and two Ph.D. scholarships were made available by FCT to
the Doctoral Programme on Biodiversity and Evolution jointly coordinated by CBA/FCUL
and CIBIO/FCUP.
Since July 2006 a new Executive Committee is running the Centre under the same
Coordinator.

RESEARCH AND FORMATIVE ACTIVITIES
During 2006 the Centre had a staff of 49 full members (48 holding a Ph.D. or
equivalent) and around 200 temporary members, about 80 of which were Ph.D. students.
Out of the 48 doctorates, 11 were post-doc investigators, 31 were Professors, Readers or
Lectures at the UL - 25 at the Department of Animal Biology (FCUL/DBA) and four at the
Department of Plant Biology (FCUL/DBV) - and two other at the Faculty of Pharmacy.
Out of the remaining six members, five were Investigators of the University of Lisbon, one
at the DBA, and four at the Bocage Museum, and one member is a Lecturer at the Atlântica
University.
The research activities of the CBA were developed under its four research subunits:
i) Functional and Developmental Biology - this subunit is involved in relating cellular
organization to function in both animal and plants; questions regarding the role of the
environment in regulating cellular function are also addressed.
ii) Biology and Environmental Quality - this subunit is involved in species or ecosystem
and public health related investigation, namely studies leading to (i) environmental
sentinel species, (ii) trophic web studies, (iii) restoration and conservation of ecosystems,
and (iv) oxidative stress conditions both in animal models and human populations;
iii) Conservation Biology - the main objective of this subunit is to carry out the
investigation directly required for managing and preserving biological diversity at the
genetic, species and ecosystems levels;
iv) Evolutionary Biology - this subunit has been involved in answering questions on
biodiversity and evolution, focusing on the following main research areas: biosystematics,
phylogeography, population genetics, behaviour and chromosomal evolution.
A variety of animal and plant species have been used as system models as well as
several methods, including modern techniques, such as molecular genetics, ecological
modelling and biomarker evaluations. Under this context, a total of 27 R&D projects and
contracts were initiated in 2006, and 25 more were in progress. These projects were
financed by the pluriannual funding of the Unit or/and several kinds of external funds
(national and international). Most of the temporary members were developing their work
with the support of these research projects. In 2006 10 Ph.D. students and 11 Master
students concluded successfully their theses.
Moreover, there was, in 2006, an increase in the number and quality, measured by
the Impact Factor, of the publications of CBA (ten top publications, IF from 2.804 to
14.864), in comparison with 2005. Some relevant papers were published by researchers
alone or in collaboration with other teams, namely with CIBIO or CEABN researchers, in
renowned journals such as Trends in Ecology and Evolution, where a paper on the
monitoring of global biodiversity made the cover of this journal (Pereira & Cooper, 2006),
Development (Bajanca et al., 2006), Molecular Ecology (Godinho et al., 2006) and Evolution
(Rego et al., 2006). In summary, in the period concerned, 76 papers were published, of
which 60 in impact factor journals and 7 more papers were published as chapters in books
edited by national or international publishers. Worth to be mentioned is the publication of
three books – “Botânica: Passagem à Vida Terrestre” (Editora Lidel, Lisboa), “O cavalo do
Sorraia. Um património histórico e genético a preservar” (Edições Cosmos, Alpiarça) and “Os
peixes do Guadiana: que futuro? Guia de Peixes do Guadiana Português” (Edições Cosmos,
Alpiarça) – aiming at a deeper knowledge of particular species or biological models.
Furthermore, 131 oral communications and posters were presented in 43 national and
international congresses or meetings.
The research activities of the CBA have been mostly hosted by the DBA, namely by
several common research laboratories directed mainly at Genetical, Ecological and
Physiological studies and by the Centre Field Station, in Grândola.
The Field Station of the CBA is located in the Herdade da Ribeira Abaixo, a state
property with 221 ha, at approximately 7 Km from Grândola. Since 1993, the CBA is
promoting biological and ecological studies on the flora and fauna. One of the old
buildings is now prepared to functioning as an Educational Centre (the “Ecoteca”),
including a conference room, and two laboratories. Besides CBA researchers, other
researchers, from within or outside the University of Lisbon, and several students
(undergraduate and post-graduate), nationals and foreign, have been developing studies
in the Field Station. In 2006, five research projects were carried out at the Field Station, all
coordinated by CBA investigators. Within the same period several practical courses,
involving the participation of university students (degree in Environmental Biology,
FCUL) were partially lectured in the Field Station. Currently, two post-doc researchers,
nine Ph.D. students and four Master students are carrying out fieldwork at the HRA (see
also HRA Activities Report).
Regarding teaching and training activities, the CBA investigators have actively
collaborate in the Master courses on Conservation Biology, Evolutionary and
Developmental Biology and Human Biology and Environment (FCUL). Also as in the past,
the CBA has been involved in the following actions, directed at high school students:
“Dias Abertos da FCUL” and the programme Biology in summer (“Ciência Viva”).
Additionally, the Laboratory of Electron Microscopy has been providing services to
several other research units, from within and outside the FCUL, as well as educational
training. During 2006, 137 young students from 4 high schools have visited this laboratory.
In the same period, the Laboratory of Genetics has provided around 200 genetic analyses
of parentage verification and individual genetic identification to breeders associations and
official registries
Finally, also during 2006, the CBA project “An advanced monitoring system to
evaluate Environmental Quality” funded by FCT under the “Programa Nacional de Reequipamento Científico” was almost completely executed, allowing a marked increase in
the laboratorial facilities available. In addition, the CBA was the leader institution or a
partner in 51 research projects submitted for funding to FCT. In June 2006 the CBA jointly
with CIBIO (Centre for Biodiversity and Genetical Resources, FCUP) and CEABN (Centre
for Applied Ecology Prof. Baeta Neves, ISA) constituted the consortium InBio-A
partnership for Biodiversity (Research Network in Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology)
and a joint-application to become an Associate Laboratory was submitted to the FCT.
Under the InBio Ccnsortium the CBA has applied for post-doc researchers recruitment to
the FCT “Programa Nacional de Contratação de Doutores” and two Ph.D. scholarships
were made available by FCT to the Doctoral Programme on Biodiversity and Evolution
under the coordination of CBA/FCUL and CIBIO/FCUP.

OTHER ACTIVITIES
The CBA has actively collaborated, as in previous years, with other public and
private entities, in Portugal and abroad, through joint-research projects, formative
actions and teaching activities or by providing expertise co-operation. The Centre has
organized the Series “Encontros de Scientia”, intended to the diffusion of ongoing
activities, the public presentation of the “InBio-A Partnership for Bidiversity” in June
2006, and has partially supported the Workshop “Rede GBIF: O protocolo DiGIR”, held
in Lisbon, in the Natural History Museum, in November 2006. Furthermore, several CBA
investigators have been involved in the Scientific Committees of national or international
meetings and others have attended, either as lecturers or participants, a relevant number
of advanced courses.
Regarding community services, the CBA was partner or the leader institution in
several projects directed at the management of protected areas or of threatened species
and was deeply involved in studies on the assessment of the environmental quality
funded by diverse public and private institutions, such as EDIA, ERENA, LPN, ICN and
DGRF and has continuing to provide expertise support to the Molecular Genetics
Laboratory of the „Serviço Nacional Coudélico‟ (Alter do Chão). Several articles directed
at the general public were published and a major effort was directed at the
implementation of diverse actions with Environmental Education purposes in the Field
Station.
Since July 2006 a new Executive Committee is running the Centre under the same
Coordinator.
THE InBio CONSORTIUM
The InBio – a Research Network in Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology – is an
association of three Research Units supported by FCT, with relevant complementarities
and common interests in Biodiversity research: the CBA, the Centre for Biodiversity and
Genetical Resources (CIBIO) and the Centre for Applied Ecology Prof. Baeta Neves
(CEABN). The constitution of the InBio is expected to increase scientific cooperation and
common use of space and equipments without affecting the autonomy and particular
features of each Unit. The development of interdisciplinary projects between scientists
will be encouraged with the specific aim that InBio becomes a Unit of Excellence in the
development of research and dissemination of scientific knowledge in all areas related
with Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology. In addition, it is expected that the academic
roots of the InBio will strengthen and develop the advanced training of human resources
and education of young researchers.
In June 2006, in a ceremony presided by Prof. Humberto Rosa („Secretário de Estado do
Ambiente) the collaborative partnership was initiated and a joint-application of the three
Units to become an Associate Laboratory was made public.
Three major research lines of action of the InBio were identified:
Genetics and Evolution – mostly dedicated to the assessment of molecular diversity and
evolutionary genetics in natural populations,
Genetic Resources – dedicated to the use and characterization of plant and animal
genetic resources,
Conservation Biology – aiming at studies on Ecology and Conservation and
Environmental Quality – dedicated to the monitoring of environmental quality and its
impact on Public Health.
PLANNING FOR 2007
The main research objectives of the CBA for the period 2007-2008 are the following:
i)
a clearer definition of the central research interests of each sub-unit,
ii)
the increase of interactions among CBA investigators,
iii)
the exchange of expertise and strength of collaborations with other R&D
units, in particular the CIBIO and the CEABN on the view of a partnership for
Biodiversity, and
iv)
the improvement of the laboratorial conditions now available.
The activities performed during the first half of 2007 can already be seen as a partial
fulfilment of these objectives. For instance, CBA investigators have been regrouped in
three research sub-units, instead of four, in accordance with the proposed objectives of
the InBio: Conservation Biology, Environmental Quality and Evolutionary and
Developmental Biology (including Genetic Resources). In addition, the list of
investigators in CBA in 2007 was updated regarding these major research lines of action.
The CBA will encourage synergistic cooperation among CBA, CIBIO and CEABN
researchers in order to increase the prominence of InBio both at the national and
international levels. Following this perspective, the communication between researchers
will be promoted using mailing lists and editing a periodical Newsletter. An annual
meeting is also planned where researchers can discuss current projects and research
themes and prepare future collaborations within the InBio and abroad. Under this
purpose, submission of projects and actions to the FP7 is being planned.
Regarding the Field Station, a major effort will be directed at the recovery of its old
buildings (by applying to specific funds or programmes), and at the development of
further studies on the local flora and fauna.
In addition, the participation of the CBA in the „Ciência Viva‟ Centre in the Lousal Mines
(Alentejo) is being planned. Besides the participation of the CBA in public exhibitions,
field trips to the „Herdade da Ribeira Abaixo, the Centre field station, are being
organized.
Finally, the Centre will maintain its availability to participate in events such as „Semana
da Ciência e Tecnologia‟, „Biology in summer‟ or „Dias Abertos of the Faculty of Science
of Lisbon‟. Teaching and training activities are also being planned; the CBA investigators

MICROSCOPY
LABORATORY OF ELECTRON MICROSCOPY
The Laboratory of Electron Microscopy has been functioning since March of 1997. During this time it
has given a strong supportive role for research going on within and outside the CBA. It has also played
an important educational role, serving both university-level and high school-level students.
Researchers in charge:
Teresa Antunes, Isabel Sevinate Pinto
Techniques available: scanning electron microscopy (both conventional and low vacuum mode);
sample metallization; digital image acquisition.
Major equipment:

Jeol scanning electron microscope (SEM), model LV-5200. This model has two functioning
modes available, the conventional mode (the same has any other scanning electron
microscope) and the low vacuum mode. The latter mode has the attractive quality of allowing
the observation of non-conducting samples without the specimens having to go through the
process of metallization. Samples containing water or oils can be observed in this mode, which
would be impossible to observe in a conventional scanning electron microscope.

Sputtering JSE-1200. This equipment allows the correct preparation of non-conducting
samples for the observation in high vacuum.

A digital image acquisition system which allows for the acquisition of electron microscopy
images directly in a digital form. This not only permits an easier and faster acquisition of
information about the samples studied, but gives the investigator the possibility to process and
analyse the digital image further using. The microscope is also prepared for conventional
photography.

An EBIC (Electron Beam Induced Current analysis) is in phase of development. The EBIC
equipment will permit the characterisation of the samples by their conductivity. As in
conventional scanning microscopy, the sample is also the target of an electronic beam, but the
point of interest is the current induced in the sample by it. This system will allow the
development of a detailed map of the conductivity of the sample and properties related with it.
LIGHT MICROSCOPY AND IMAGE ANALYSIS LABORATORY
The Light Microscopy and Image Analysis Laboratory offers facilities to all research lines within the
CBA as well as some external to the CBA. It is equipped with three microscopes, with a variety of
optics and digital image acquisition software. Image processing and analysis includes the use of public
tools (e.g., ImageJ) as well as commercial 3D rendering and analysis software.

Field Station
HERDADE DA RIBEIRA ABAIXO
The Field Station of the CBA occupies the “Herdade da Ribeira Abaixo” (HRA), a state property with
an area of 221 ha owned by the Ministry of Agriculture (“Direcção Geral de Hidráulica e Engenharia
Agrícola” - IHERA). It is located in the eastern slope of Serra de Grândola (Baixo Alentejo), 100 km
south of Lisbon (latitude: 38º 05‟ N - 38º 08‟ N; longitude: 8º 33‟ W - 8º 38‟ W) (Fig. 1).
The Field Station is mainly covered by cork-oak woodland (“montado”) and is crossed by several
temporary small streams. The “montado” is a typical Mediterranean woodland ecosystem resulting
from the traditional human use of the landscape and constituting one of the best examples of the
relative harmony between long-standing human activities and the conservation of biodiversity. This
ecosystem is considered a habitat of EU interest not only from the botanical point of view, but also
because it supports a fauna of high conservation importance. In fact, the first biological
characterization of the Field Station [M. Santos-Reis & A.I. Correia, 1999: Caracterização da Flora e
Fauna do Montado da Herdade da Ribeira Abaixo, Centro de Biologia Ambiental, Lisboa, 262pp.],
showed that its floristic and faunistic communities are considerably rich and diverse, with over 200
species of mushrooms, 400 species of plants, 130 species of vertebrates and about 140 species of
insects recorded, several of them of conservation concern.
The overall goal of the Field Station is to provide a location and other facilities for students,
researchers and visiting scientists to undertake their research in the area of Ecology. Furthermore,
educational programmes promoting public awareness of the importance of cork-oak woodlands are
also being carried out.
Currently, the Field Station has two recovered buildings - one for the accommodation of researchers
and students (with 8 beds) and another (the “Ecoteca”) for teaching and research. The latter is a multifunctional space that includes laboratories, offices, an exhibition room and a conference room. The
official opening of the main building occurred on the 5 th October 1996, while the “Ecoteca” was
inaugurated on the 10th October 2001. The main building has been effectively occupied, since 1996,
having allowed the development of several R&D projects and training activities.
Over the years, the Field Station has been used for undergraduate (with about 40 visiting students/
year) and post-graduate courses (10 students/ year). Furthermore, more than 40 students have
undertaken their final year graduation courses at the Field Station, and 6 MSc. and 10 Ph.D. students
have used it as the base for their research programmes. Their work resulted on average in 8
publications/ year in international journals, as well as 15 to 20 communications/ year in international
scientific meetings.
The Field Station has also been used for teaching and recreational activities for Grândola Basic School
children (about 2 visits/ year), and for the “Biology during the summer” activities (2 to 4 visits/ year).
Furthermore, the “Ecoteca” was also used for open sessions for forest producers and for two technical
courses directed to the local population. During 2004, the HRA was one of the case studies for the
“Portugal Millennium Ecosystem Assessment”. Furthermore, 19 ha of the HRA are now a
demonstration area for the project “Southern Portugal Cork-Oak forests landscape restoration”, of the
WWF – Mediterranean Program. The HRA was also chosen as the presentation place of this project to
the public, on the 30th November 2004, and was visited by governmental representatives of northAfrican countries that also maintain cork-oak woodlands – Morocco and Tunisia, as well as by World
Wildlife Fund technicians from Portugal, Spain, Great Britain, Morocco and Tunisia. Since 2004 that
the Field Station has been a demonstration area of sound silvicultural management practices as the
result of a project funded by the “Instituto Nacional de Investigação Agrária e Pescas” (INIAP) focusing
on the regeneration of cork-oak woodlands.

THE MINE OF SCIENCE – LIVE SCIENCE CENTRE OF LOUSAL
Fundação Frederic Velge submitted to the Portuguese Agency for Scientific and Technological Culture
a project to create a “Live Science Centre” (Centro de Ciência Viva) at Lousal, which has been
recently approved by the Portuguese Minister of Science and Technology (July, 2006). This will be
named Mine of Science – Live Science Centre of Lousal (Mina de Ciência – Centro Ciência Viva do
Lousal). It will become part of the Portuguese network of “Live Science Centres”, which includes 12
other centres already built in other locations of the country. The main goals of the network are
promoting knowledge and education on science and technology, mostly through attractive, hands-on,
thought-provoking experiments.
Accordingly, the Live Science Centre of Lousal was conceived for a large-spectrum audience in terms
of age, education and social or geographic origin. The general idea consists of taking advantage of the
old mine infrastructure to use the concept of Georesources as a window opened through a wide range
of fields of knowledge that include the natural and exact sciences, applied technologies and several
fields of engineering.
In this context our main goal is to sensitize the visitors for the aspects of the Biology related with
adaptations to the subterranean habitats at the same time that other research areas of the “Centro de
Biologia Ambiental” are divulged. A net of interests between Live Science Centre of Lousal and the
farm of the “Herdade da Ribeira Abaixo” (CBA) still exist to show to the visitors some of our research in
experimental Ecology.
