Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of cicada songs contrasted with the relationships inferred from mitochondrial dna (insecta, hemiptera)
Paulo J. Fonseca,Ester A. Serrão,Francisco Pina-Martins,Pedro Silva,Sara Mira,Jose Alberto Quartau,Octávio S. Paulo,Leonor Cancela +7 more
TL;DR: The observed similarities between the molecular phylogeny and the basic tymbal cycles seem to reflect the basic conservative nature of the tymbAL structure, while the discrepancy between the former and the calling song pattern is probably related to the high plasticity of the pattern generator in the central nervous system and dependent on species-specific selection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility constraints on Variscan obduction processes in the Bragança Massif (NE Portugal)
TL;DR: In this article, an anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) and structural study of high-grade metamorphic and ophiolitic rocks from the Braganca Massif is presented to contribute to the debate concerning the identification of transport directions during the closure of the Variscan Ocean.
Journal ArticleDOI
The 1998-2001 submarine lava balloon eruption at the Serreta Ridge (Azores archipelago): constraints from volcanic facies architecture, isotope geochemistry and magnetic data
Pedro Madureira,Carlos J. P. Rosa,Ana Filipa A. Marques,Ana Filipa A. Marques,Pedro Silva,Pedro Silva,Manuel Moreira,Cédric Hamelin,Jorge M. R. S. Relvas,Nuno Lourenço,Patrícia Conceição,Manuel Pinto de Abreu,Fernando J.A.S. Barriga +12 more
TL;DR: The most recent submarine eruption observed offshore the Azores archipelago occurred between 1998 and 2001 along the submarine Serreta ridge (SSR), ~ 4-5 nautical miles WNW of Terceira Island as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Erratum to Identification of tsunami-induced deposits using numerical modeling and rock magnetism techniques: A study case of the 1755 Lisbon tsunami in Algarve, Portugal: [Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors Volume 182, Issues 3–4, Pages 187–198 (October 2010)]
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an approach to identify tsunami-induced deposits by combining numerical simulation and rock magnetism, which was tested on the Boca do Rio estuary generated by the 1755 earthquake in Lisbon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploring Offshore Sediment Evidence of the 1755 CE Tsunami (Faro, Portugal): Implications for the Study of Outer Shelf Tsunami Deposits
Vincent Kümmerer,Teresa Drago,Cristina Veiga-Pires,Pedro Silva,Vitor Magalhães,Anxo Mena,Ana Paula Lopes,Ana Isabel Rodrigues,Sabine Schmidt,Pedro Terrinha,Maria Ana Baptista +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a multidisciplinary approach was performed to detect the sedimentary imprints left by the 1755 CE tsunami in two cores, located in the southern Portuguese continental shelf at water depths of 58 and 91 m.
