1. EVOLUCIÓN Y CONDICIONANTES NATURALES DE LOS PUERTOS DE LA MACARONESIA EUROPEA (AZORES, MADEIRA Y CANARIAS) SIGLOS XIX Y XX
Abstract The island ports of the European Macaronesia have followed similar development processes. This paper describes the development of the ports of Punta Delgada (Azores), Funchal (Madeira) and Arrecife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Canary Islands) between the XIX century and middle of the XX century and analyses the similarities and differences betwee

2. Aedes aegypti on Madeira Island (Portugal): genetic variation of a recently introduced dengue vector
The increasing population of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes on Madeira Island (Portugal) resulted in the first autochthonous dengue outbreak, which occurred in October 2012. Our study establishes the first genetic evaluation based on the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genes [cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 4 (ND4)] and knockdown resist

3. In vitro establishment and multiplication of the Normania triphylla (Lowe) Lowe
Normania triphylla is an endemic species from Madeira island (Portugal) extinct in the wild since 1991. The aim of this work was to culture the meristems of this species in vitro and to multiply its shoots in order to preserve this endangered species. The best results in terms of multiplication were obtained in Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 10

4. Contribuições para a conservação do patrimônio histórico edificado em madeira da cidade de Antônio Prado/RS
This proposed work presents a study about the conservation of historic buildings of wood. The southern region of Brazil presents large collection wooden buildings built by European immigrants that colonized the region in the late nineteenth century and the first half of this century. However, there are no specific programs for the conservation of this herita

5. Sucessão ecológica em parcelas orgânicas de madeira, macroalgas e em carcassas de baleia no mar profundo; e similaridade de espécies entre habitats redutores no talude continental da Califórnia (Pacífico Nordeste) / Whales, wood and kelp islands in the deep-sea: ecological succession and species overlap with other chemosynthetic habitats in the Californian continental slope (NE Pacific)
Sunken parcels of macroalgae, wood and whale carcasses provide important oases of organic enrichment at the deep-sea floor, but sediment community structure and succession around these habitat islands are poorly evaluated. We experimentally implanted parcels of kelp and wood falls nearby a 30-ton deep-sea whale-fall at 1670 m in the Santa Cruz Basin (SCr; NE

6. Protestantismo de exílio: Kalley e os refugiados da Ilha da Madeira em Illinois
Robert Reid Kalley, médico e missionário escocês, pode ser considerado um dos principais personagens do protestantismo de exílio, na história do protestantismo mundial. No entanto, ele é pouco conhecido e pouco valorizado na História da Igreja e na História das Missões. Considerando que Kalley também é um representante do protestantismo de missõe

7. Diversity of European Lyme Disease Spirochetes at the Southern Margin of Their Range
We determined whether the genospecies diversity of Lyme disease spirochetes in vector ticks questing on a subtropical island is as broad as that in Central Europe. Although spirochetes infected <1% of the ticks sampled on Madeira Island, these infections included all three genospecies implicated in human disease. Therefore, spirochetal diversity is as great

8. Island colonization and evolution of the insular woody habit in Echium L. (Boraginaceae).
Numerous island-inhabiting species of predominantly herbaceous angiosperm genera are woody shrubs or trees. Such "insular woodiness" is strongly manifested in the genus Echium, in which the continental species of circummediterranean distribution are herbaceous, whereas endemic species of islands along the Atlantic coast of north Africa are woody perennial sh

9. Molecular evidence for multiple origins of woodiness and a New World biogeographic connection of the Macaronesian Island endemic Pericallis (Asteraceae: Senecioneae)
The prevalence of woody species in oceanic islands has attracted the attention of evolutionary biologists for more than a century. We used a phylogeny based on sequences of the internal-transcribed spacer region of nuclear ribosomal DNA to trace the evolution of woodiness in Pericallis (Asteraceae: Senecioneae), a genus endemic to the Macaronesian archipelag
