SUMMARY
During 2005 the Centre for Environmental Biology (CBA) had a staff of 49 full members,
of which 48 holding a Ph.D. degree or equivalent, plus around 150 temporary members, about
half 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 –Biology and Environmental Quality, III – Conservation
Biology, IV - Evolutionary Biology, and 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, the National Museum of Natural History-Bocage
Museum (University of Lisbon) and by the Centre Field Station, the Herdade da Ribeira Abaixo in
Grândola.
A total of 26 R&D projects and contracts were initiated in 2005. These projects were
financed by the pluriannual funding or/and several kinds of external funds (national and
international). Moreover, in the period concerned, 64 papers were published, of which 53 in
impact factor journals and 22 more papers in international journals were accepted for publication
in late 2005. Furthermore, 95 oral communications and posters were presented in 46 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. Worth to be mentioned is the participation 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 514 young students of 10 high schools, 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 meeting „A gripe das Aves. Medos e Factos‟ held in Lisbon in
November 2005, and has partially supported the international meeting „II Luso-Spanish Congress
on the Iberian Wolf‟, held in Castelo Branco in November 2005. Several CBA investigators have
also attended, either as lecturers or participants in 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, was deeply
involved in studies, funded by EDIA, on the assessment of the environmental impact of the
Alqueva Reservoir in Alentejo and the Laboratory of Genetics continue to provide routine testing
on parentage verification and individual genetic identification of different canine and equine
breeds. Finally, several popular articles were published and a major effort was directed at the
implementation of the Environmental Education Centre in the Field Station.

RESEARCH AND FORMATIVE ACTIVITIES
During 2005 the Centre had a staff of 49 full members (48 holding a Ph.D. or equivalent) and
around 150 temporary members, half of which were Ph.D. students. Out of the 48 doctorates, 12
are post-doc investigators, 31 are 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 five members, four
are Investigators of the University of Lisbon, one at the DBA, and three at the Bocage Museum,
and one member is a Lecturer at the Atlântica University (Annex I).
The research activities of the CBA are 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 - investigators in this subunit are 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 - investigators in this subunit have been involved in answering questions
on biodiversity and evolution, focusing on the following main research areas: biosystematics,
phylogeography, population genetics, ethology 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. Following these guidelines, a total of 26 R&D projects and contracts have
been recently started. These projects were financed by the pluriannual funding or/and several
kinds of external funds. Moreover, during 2005, 64 papers were published, of which 53 in impact
factor journals, and 22 more papers were accepted for publication in international journals in late
2005, and 95 oral communications and posters were presented in 46 national and international
congresses or meetings.
The research activities of the CBA have been mostly supported by the facilities provided by the
Department of Animal Biology, namely several common research laboratories directly mainly at
Genetical, Ecological and Physiological studies and by the Centre Field Station, in Grândola (see
Annex II).
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 the inside 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 2005, five research projects were developed at the
Field Station, all coordinated by CBA investigators. Within the same period several practical
courses, involving the participation of university students (degree Biology Applied to Animal
Resources, FCUL) were partially lectured in the Field Station. Currently, two post-doc
researchers, ten Ph.D. students and five Master students are carrying out fieldwork at the HRA
(see also HRA Activities Report).
The research and training activities performed by CBA Investigators have great national impact,
given the increasing participation in projects involving conservation strategies, environmental
quality assessment and the management of natural resources, all critical aspects of sustainable
development. At an international level, the CBA has been reinforcing its collaboration with foreign
institutions and has been improving its publication ranking.

OTHER ACTIVITIES
Regarding community services, the CBA has been partner or the leader institution in several
projects directed at the management of protected areas or of threatened species, has been
deeply involved in studies on the assessment of the environmental quality and has continuing to
provide expertise support to the Molecular Genetics Laboratory of the “Serviço Nacional
Coudélico” (Alter do Chão).
In addition, among the research laboratories, the Electron Microscopy and Image Analysis
Laboratory has been providing services to several other research units, from inside ant outside
the Faculty of Science, and as well educational training. During 2005, 517 young students of 10
high schools have visited this laboratory.
In 2005, CBA investigators have been involved in the organization of several national and
international meetings, namely „A Gripe das Aves. Medos e Factos‟ (Lisbon, November 2005), as
well as in several formative actions and courses of which the majority directed at university
students.
Moreover, several articles directed at the general public have been published and a major effort
has been directed at the implementation of the Environmental Education Centre in the Field
Station, in Grândola.
Worth to mention is the periodical organization of the Series “Encontros de Scientia”, intended to
the diffusion of ongoing activities.
PLANNING FOR 2006-2007
The main research objectives of the CBA for the period 2006-2007 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,
namely the Centre for Biodiversity and Genetical Resources (CIBIO) and the Centre
for Applied Ecology (CEA) 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 2006 already considered the fulfilment of these
objectives.
Regarding the Field Station, a major effort will be directed at the recovery of its old buildings (by
applying to specific funds or programmes), at the opening to the public of its „Ecoteca‟
(Educational Centre) and at the development of further studies on the local flora and fauna.
In addition, the Centre will maintain its availability to participate in events such as „Semana da
Ciência e Tecnologia‟, „Biology in summer‟ or „Dia Aberto of the Faculty of Science of Lisbon‟.
Teaching and training activities are also being planned. The CBA investigators have actively
collaborated in a Master course on „Conservation Biology‟, and a Ph.D. programme in
'Biodiversity and Evolution', co-organized by CBA and CIBIO is being planned to 2006-2007.

H.5. SERVICES PROVIDED
H.5.1. THE LABORATORY OF APPLIED GENETICS
This laboratory is directed to routine testing on Parentage verification and Individual Genetic Identification
of different canine and equine breeds, occasionally of other domestic / captive animals, from a variety of
samples (blood, hair, bone). Protocols of collaboration weree established with breeders associations and
official registries, namely for the Sorraia Horse. Moreover, technical support is given to the Laboratório de
Genética Molecular, Alter do Chão ( Serviço Nacional Coudélico and the Clube Português de Canicultura,
as well as some I&D projects and private breeders.
Investigator involved: M.M. Oom
We had implemented some service to the community on our Laboratório de Genética Aplicada by
performing routine work of paternity tests and individual genetic identity, for dogs and horses and,
occasionally, for other domestic/captive animals. We also contribute to some extension activities, namely
maintaining some technical support of paternity testing of horses based on DNA polymorphisms, at
Laboratório de Genética Molecular, Alter do Chão (Serviço Nacional Coudélico, Ministério da Agricultura),
completely founded under our supervision.
H.5.2. THE MICROSCOPY AND IMAGE ANALYSIS LABORATORY
This laboratory has been provided services to CBA researchers and to several other research units inside
and outside the University of Lisbon as well as to the educational community, including university students
of post-graduate and undergraduate levels and high school students.

H.5.3. THE FIELD STATION
The CBA Field Station (Herdade da Ribeira Abaixo) located near Grândola, in Alentejo, in an area
dominated by cork oak woodlands, has been given support mainly to the activities of CBA researchers in
the scope of several projects funded by the FCT. The Field Station has also been used for training
activities (undergraduate theses, field courses and high school visits). Facilities have also been provided to
regional institutions in meetings and visits in the Field Station.
Investigators involved: F. Petrucci-Fonseca, R. Rebelo, A.I. Correia

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 5th 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.
