Do currents shape global patterns of hybrid richness in coral reef fishes?
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 12, Page 2524-2540, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim Our main aim was to identify the distribution of, and potential mechanisms underpinning, hybrid‐rich zones – regions with a disproportionate number of unique interspecific hybrids. We investigated whether coral reef fish hybrids coincided with factors such as phylogenetic relatedness, biogeographic barriers, species richness, geographic ...

Vowel harmonization in Brazilian and in São Tomé Portuguese and the raising of the pre-stress /e/

Perceived influence over marine conservation: Determinants and implications of empowerment
Conservation Letters, Volume 14, Issue 3, May/June 2021., 2021 Abstract Understanding empowerment is integral to facilitating sustainable use policies and requires assessing potential drivers. However, critical applications are rare in conservation. Using the island of Príncipe (São Tomé and Príncipe) as a case study, we undertook household surveys (N = 869) to assess potential drivers of psychological empowerment
