Biodiversidad Boa Vista. Conocer y proteger

[ES] El proyecto consiste en crear un libro de fotografías artísticamente atractivo y de calidad divulgativa y científica sobre la isla de Boa Vista para dar a conocer y sensibilizar con imágenes, sobre la cultura, la riqueza y fragilidad de este enclave de biodiversidad en Cabo Verde. La idea para su edición es el crowdfunding a través de la plataforma web VERKAMI

Análisis comparativo del perfil y la mortalidad de los pacientes con estancia intermedia versus prolongada en cuidados intensivos en función del tipo de paciente

[ES] Objetivo: Estudiar el perfil y los factores pronósticos asociados con la mortalidad  de los diferentes tipos de pacientes (coronarios, médicos, quirúrgicos y traumatológicos) que precisaron de una estancia intermedia (5-13 días) y compararlos con los que necesitaron de una estancia prolongada (≥ 14 días), en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos del Hospital Universitario Insular de Gran Canaria, ingresados en el período comprendido entre el 1 de enero de 2004 y el 31 de diciembre de 2010.

Synchrony on embryonic development of marine turtles: individual variability and environmental effects

[EN] For sea turtles, to hatch and emerge from the nest communally is essential to decrease hatchling mortality. Thus, it is very important within a nest the simultaneous fertilization and the synchronized embryonic development of all eggs. On loggerhead nesting beaches of Cape Verde we have studied the individual variability on developmental synchrony of embryos and the influence on this process of some biological, environmental and management factors. We have compared this trait within and between 34 nests naturally incubated on the beach and 34 nests relocated to a beach hatchery during the 2009 and 2010 nesting seasons.

Influence of loggerhead egg agregation on survival: why does single eggs buried into natural sand dye in few days?

[EN] The incubation is an essential life period for oviparous species that very often experiences a high mortality. In some reptile species the number of eggs that develop together in the incubation chamber affects survival and hatchling phenotype. Sea turtle eggs develop in underground locations on sandy beaches in large masses that usually have more than 80 eggs. Natural egg mortality seems to vary among species and for the sensitive leatherbacks, external eggs seems to survive better than internal ones within the nest.

Massive loggerhead nest predation by ghost crabs in Boavista Island (Cape Verde): implications of the absence of large predators.

[EN] The impact of nest predators on sea turtle hatching success is highly variable depending on predator abundance and also on interactions among different predators. Food web connectivity usually makes it difficult to understand predator-prey interactions and develop efficient conservation strategies. In the Cape Verde archipelago there is an important nesting area for loggerheads where ghost crabs are the only described nest predator. We have studied the impact of ghost crabs on loggerhead nests on this threatened population as well as the efficiency of several management practices to reduce this impact.
