2017 was marked by wildfires which ravaged Portugal and other regions around the world. The ash generated by these fires can contaminate downstream rivers and reservoirs, harming aquatic ecosystems and limiting water resources for human use. There is an urgent need to understand transport pathways, determine post-fire contamination risks, design effective mitigation measures, and support long-term land-use planning in fire-prone forests.
O que fazem e o que pensam alguns membros da comunidade de Ciências? O primeiro Dictum et factum de 2018 é com Marta Daniela Santos, responsável pelo Gabinete de Comunicação do cE3c – Centro de Ecologia, Evolução e Alterações Ambientais.

The course starts with a short revision of multiple linear regression and generalised linear models, followed by an introduction to linear mixed effects models and generalised linear mixed effects models (GLMM) to analyse nested (also called hierarchical or clustered) data, e.g. multiple observations from the same animal, site, area, nest, patient, hospital, vessel, lake, hive, transect, etc.

Parte do antigo bar do edifício C1 de Ciências dá agora lugar a um novo laboratório de investigação em Ecologia Evolutiva. Aqui vai ser explorado um sistema biológico composto por duas espécies de ácaro aranha, Tetranychus urticae e Tetranychus ludeni, que competem por um alimento - a planta do tomate.
