Tectonostratigraphy of Middle and Upper Palaeozoic black shales from the Porto-Tomar-Ferreira do Alentejo shear zone (W Portugal): new perspectives on the Iberian Massif

Middle/late Devonian and early Carboniferous metasedimentary sequences in the northernmost region (Porto-Espinho-Tomar) of the Ossa-Morena Zone (Portuguese Iberian Variscan Massif) contain black shales of very low to low-grade metamorphism. These metasedimentary rocks form a discrete NNW-SSE structure within a major shear zone (Porto-Tomar-Ferreira do Alentejo) and remain subparallel to the observed regional major structures (folding, thrusts or overthrusts). These black shales are overhanged and then imbricated in an upper Proterozoic metamorphic substratum. A multi-disciplinary study of these metasedimentary rocks from the Espinho-Tomar region has tectonostratigraphy, palynology, organic petrology and clay mineralogy combined methods. This approach provides new insights into the tectonic evolution and geological framework of Palaeozoic basement of the Iberian Variscides. Palaeoenvironmental and tectonostratigraphic implications on the Iberian geodynamic framework are discussed.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6X0V-4B1S5T3-3/1/df2a39b964c83f2e1e28dfb7cc85309

Uso do raio X no tratamento de ovos de Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae) para impedir a emergência de adultos,

O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar a melhor dose de raios X, que quando aplicada sobre os ovos de C. capitata, permitisse a eclosão e desenvolvimento do hospedeiro até a fase de pupa, e, por outro lado, impedisse a emergência dos adultos das moscas.SICONBIOL 201

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) risk assessment in Portugal : The genetic approach to study prion protein gene (PRNP) variability in Portuguese populations of three cervid species: red deer, fallow deer and roe deer.
