CENTRE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL BIOLOGY Faculty of Science / University of Lisbon ANNUAL REPORT 2006 March 2007 CENTRE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL BIOLOGY Faculty of Science / University of Lisbon ANNUAL REPORT 2006 Unit Co-ordinator Maria da Luz Mathias March 2007 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.

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.

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 will continue to collaborate in the Master courses on Conservation Biology, Evolutionary and Developmental Biology and Human Biology and Environment and the Ph.D. programme in 'Biodiversity and Evolution', co-organized by CBA and CIBIO is planned to begin during the next year.

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.

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. ANNEX III –THE MINE OF SCIENCE – LIVE SCIENCE CENTRE OF LOUSAL 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.
