A diverse assemblage of RNA and DNA viruses found in mosquitoes collected in southern Portugal

This work describes the detection and partial characterization of mosquito-borne virus genomic sequences, based on the analysis of mosquitoes collected from the Spring to Fall of 2018 in the Algarve (southern Portugal). The viral survey that was carried out using multiple primer sets disclosed the presence of both RNA and DNA viral sequences in these […]

Biodiversity is recognizably affected by land conversion for agriculture. However, the assessment of impacts on wildlife often lacks information on populations structure and individuals’ condition, allowing only a limited view of the problem. Individual body condition/health can influence animal’s reproductive success or survival. Eucalyptus globulus plantations are important forestry systems in Iberia, being the widest forested‐land use […]
