Extinction trends of threatened invertebrates in peninsular Spain

Using information from two recently published atlases of threatened invertebrate species in peninsular Spain, we examined the climatic, land use and geographic characteristics of the 100 km2 UTM cells with most likelihood of suffering extinctions (extinction cells), as well as the attributes of the species prone to population extinctions. Extinction cells have had significantly (1) lower precipitation values, (2) higher temperatures, (3) higher percentages of anthropic land uses or (4) higher rates of anthropization during the last 20 years than the remaining cells. Nevertheless, probable extinctions may occur under a wide range of climatic and anthropization change rates and these variables can only explain a low proportion (~5 %) of variability in the occurrence or number of extinction cells. Aquatic species seem to suffer higher local extinction rates than terrestrial species. Interestingly, many invertebrate species with approximately 25 or less occurrence cells are on a clear trajectory towards extinction. These results outline the difficulties and uncertainties in relating probable population extinctions with climatic and land use changes in the case of invertebrate data. However, they also suggest that a third of the considered Spanish threatened species could have lost some of their populations, and that current conservation efforts are insufficient to reverse this tendency.

Jorge Pinho: viagem ao mundo da tradução

Jorge Manuel Costa Almeida e Pinho licenciou-se, em 1988, em Línguas e Literaturas Modernas, na variante de Inglês e Alemão, na Faculdade de Letras da Universidade do Porto (FLUP), em 1990, na variante de Estudos Portugueses e Ingleses e em 1991 foi Bolseiro do Programa LINGUA, da Comunidade Europeia, na Universidade de Glasgow (Escócia), integrado num projeto internacional de Tradução de Inglês-Português e Português-Inglês. Ainda na FLUP, em 1998, concluiu o Mestrado em Estudos de Tradução e, em 2011, o Doutoramento em Estudos Anglo-Americanos – Tradução, como Bolseiro de Doutoramento da Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT), com a tese “A Tradução para Edição: Viagem ao mundo de tradutores e editores em Portugal (1974-2009)”.

Estudo e tratamento de conservação e restauro da pintura Feto do artista Jorge Pinheiro

Followed by the opportunity of attending an internship at Argo – Art, Heritage and Culture, emerges the opportunity of studying and become responsible for the conservation and restoration of a painting by Jorge Pinheiro (Coimbra, 1931), whom is responsible for a wide artistic production that is vastly renowned and featured in particular and public collections, both nationally and internationally. This dissertation describes the study and the intervention of conservation and restoration of the contemporary painting Feto, executed in 1965 by Jorge Pinheiro, which was carried out during my internship of the Master’s in Science of Conservation, Restoration and Production of Contemporary Art, that took place in the company Argo, between November 2014 and April 2015. The issues in the conservation and restoration of contemporary art, related with the increasingly variety of materials that artists have been using since the beginning of the twentieth century, it’s also one of the main themes explored in this dissertation. From conservation and restoration, to the life and work of an artist, the following dissertation, besides describing in detail all the studies and steps that I took in the conservation and restoration of the oil on canvas painting, Feto (1965), it also reveals a closer look into the life and artistic career of Jorge Pinheiro
