Atmospheric particulate matter from an industrial area as a source of metal nanoparticle contamination in aquatic ecosystems (2020)
Journal Article
Souza, I. D. C., Morozesk, M., Mansano, A. S., Mendes, V. A., Azevedo, V. C., Matsumoto, S. T., …Fernandes, M. N. (2021). Atmospheric particulate matter from an industrial area as a source of metal nanoparticle contamination in aquatic ecosystems. The Science of the total environment, 753, Article 141976. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.141976

Air pollution legislation and control worldwide is based on the size of particulate matter (PM) to evaluate the effects on environmental and human health, in which the small diameter particles are considered more dangerous than larger sizes. This stu... Read More about Atmospheric particulate matter from an industrial area as a source of metal nanoparticle contamination in aquatic ecosystems.

Feeding strategies and body condition of juvenile European flounder Platichthys flesus in a nursery habitat (2020)
Journal Article
Mendes, C., Ramos, S., Elliott, M., & Bordalo, A. A. (2020). Feeding strategies and body condition of juvenile European flounder Platichthys flesus in a nursery habitat. Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the UK, 100(5), 795-806. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0025315420000600

Estuarine habitats are major nurseries for the European flounder Platichthys flesus, with different year classes sharing food and space resources. Hence, an understanding of feeding strategies that optimize resource use and maintain carrying capacity...

Activity-footprints, pressures-footprints and effects-footprints – Walking the pathway to determining and managing human impacts in the sea (2020)
Journal Article
Elliott, M., Borja, A., & Cormier, R. (2020). Activity-footprints, pressures-footprints and effects-footprints – Walking the pathway to determining and managing human impacts in the sea. Marine pollution bulletin, 155, Article 111201. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpolbul.2020.111201

Determining the overall effects of human activities on the estuaries, seas and coasts, as a precursor to marine management, requires quantifying three aspects. These are: (a) the area in which the human activities take place, (b) the area covered by...
