Effective dispersal of fern spore and the ecological relevance of zoochory
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The mechanisms of fern dispersal are under‐studied and there are few data to support the vectors assumed to drive patterns of sporophyte occurrence and speciation. Although wind is generally the fern spore dispersal vector described in the literature, there has always been competing evidence supporting alternate vectors.

Helium isotope systematics in the vicinity of the Azores triple junction: Constraints on the Azores geodynamics [PDF]
Chemical Geology, 2014 Abstract We present new He isotopic data from subaerial and submarine samples collected along the Terceira Rift (Azores Plateau) in order to constrain the sources involved in the Azores magmatism in the unique geodynamic context of the Azores triple junction.

Do Science and Technology Parks Work as Drivers of Firm Innovation? Empirical Evidence From Portugal
Creativity and Innovation Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Science and technology parks were conceived to promote firm performance and innovation, and they have become increasingly important in local and regional development policies. However, there are few empirical studies on their effectiveness as drivers of firm innovation, and existing studies have also reported mixed results, which could be due ...

Influence of the Azores high on sea level pressure and wind, and on precipitation, in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean [PDF]
, 1966 ENGLISH: Intensification of the Azores high pressure cell in mid-year, with concomitant air flow from the Caribbean into the Pacific, is shown to be responsible for a secondary minimum of precipitation observed along the tropical Pacific coast of the ...

Time‐Varying Interactions Between US–China Political Relation, Flight Frequency, and Inbound Tourism
Economics &Politics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates the dynamics among US–China political relations, flight frequency, and inbound tourism through the utilization of a time‐varying parameter vector autoregression model. As political relations warm, there is a notable uptick in flight frequency between the two nations.

Ecology and Evolution, 2023 We investigated, for the first time, the hitchhiker‐host fidelity of deep‐diving whale sharks and Chilean devil rays. We found that two of the most ubiquitous oceanic hitchhikers, the common remora and the pilot fish, are able to follow their hosts to ...

Abundance and distribution of seamounts in the Azores [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2008 We characterized the seamount distribution of the economic exclusive zone (EEZ) of the Azores (Portugal) using 2 bathymetry datasets. Our algorithm showed that peaks and seamounts are common features in this region of the North Atlantic. The density obtained of 3.3 peaks of all sizes per 1000 km 2 is in the same order of magnitude as that obtained on ...

EPPO Bulletin, EarlyView.Abstract Persea indica (Lauraceae) is an endemic evergreen tree of the Macaronesian Laurisilva forests, valued for its ecological importance, ornamental appeal and bioactive compounds. We report, for the first time, the presence of three scale insect species (Superfamily Coccoidea), namely Aulacaspis tubercularis, Icerya seychellarum and ...
