2013 Annual Report and 2008-2013 Achievements

Executive Summary

In the end of 2013 the Azorean Biodiversity Group was invited to be part of

another FCT center, the CENTRE FOR ECOLOGY, EVOLUTION AND

ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE (Ce3C), based in Lisbon. Ce3C’s main objective is to

perform research that addresses societal challenges in ecology, evolution and

the environment—the three Es in the Centre’s name, for the 2015-2020 period

covering the EU 2020 Horizon. Our 19 integrated members with Ph.D., plus

Ph.D. students and collaborators will be now part of a large research centre,

based in Lisbon, with 101 integrated members in which research questions will

be addressed at both the continental and insular scales.

The ABG had a steady growth in the number of projects, publications and

personnel over these last six years (2008-2013), increasing from six integrated

members in 2008 to the current 19. In this period 25 senior researchers

participated in the ABG —ten with an academic position, one with a research

contract, and 14 post-doctoral grant holders. In addition, 23 Ph.D. students and

13 research grant holders worked with the senior researchers. The group also

worked with 18 International collaborators acting as Associated Research

Fellows in several projects and publications.

Main achievements by integrated members in 2013 included 44 publications,

25 of which being in International Indexed Journals with Impact Factor (57%).

The mean Impact Factor in 2013 was 3.0, being the publications in high Impact

Factor Journals (IF > 3.0) in the¸ area of Environmental Sciences - Ecology,

corresponding to. 38% of the ISI publications (a total of 9 papers).

Overall 357 publications were published between 2008 and 2013. The

Integrated Members of Azorean Biodiversity Group published 131 ISI papers

between 2008-2013, with an impact factor of up to 9,737 (PNAS paper).

3

Particularly relevant is the fact that those publications in high Impact Factor

Journals (IF > 3.0¸ area Environmental Sciences - Ecology), equate to c. 35% of

the ISI publications (a total of 45 papers). In the period 2008-2013, other main

achievements included the publication of seven authored Books and nine

edited Books, 67 books chapters, 46 outreach publications, 39 papers in peer-

reviewed journals with no impact factor, 20 papers in Proceedings of Symposia,

seven publications online and an additional 31 other type of publications.

In these last six years the Azorean Biodiversity Group was substructured along

several main research lines to achieve their integrated goals: i) species

distribution and abundance (mainly bryophytes, arthropods and vascular

plants) at different scales, performing multi-level evaluation of species

extinction risk; ii) cave biodiversity and evolution, namely organisms that

inhabit the extensive underground habitats of volcanic islands; iii) invasiveness

and invasibility, investigating why some organisms are more prone to become

established in the Azores, using ladybirds as model group; iv) ecological

processes underlying small agro-ecosystems functioning in the islands in order

to explore the use of autochthonous arthropods as natural crop protection and

forestry resources; v) taxonomy, distribution, physiology and ecology of

Azorean bryophytes; vi) unified theory of island biodiversity under the

framework “General Dynamic Model of Island Biogeography” (GDM); and vii)

promote nature conservancy, viii) impacts of environmental risk factors on

human health and other island organisms; ix) sustainable development of

insular agro-ecosystems and natural ecosystems; x) Integrated Pest

Management to control and possibly eradicate the termite pest in island

systems; xi) communication and cooperation between the scientific and

technological community, decision makers and the general public.

In an unprecedented collaboration of more than 200 taxonomists and other

scientists the Azorean Biodiversity Group coordinated two accurate and

comprehensive lists of terrestrial species in the Azores (Borges et al., 2010) and

Madeira - Selvagens (Borges et al., 2008). This unique collaboration was

fundamental to create the baseline taxonomic information for updating the

taxonomic information, listing synonyms of the species, and quantified the

total number of described species in Macaronesia. In this way we contributed

to solve in part the ‘Linnaean’ shortfall, i.e. an incomplete taxonomic

description of species-level diversity and the ‘Wallacean’ shortfall, i.e.,

incomplete knowledge of species’ distributions. These lists are now being used

for testing biogeographical theories (e.g. SARs; GDM).

In the 2008-2013 period, members of Azorean Biodiversity Group participated

in about 100 international meetings with (15 Plenary, 87 Oral presentations,

118 Posters) and 66 national conferences (13 Plenary, 59 oral presentations, 45

posters.

An interesting indicator for our scientific output is the relative proportion of

our production with that of the other research groups based in Azores. In 2011

and 2012 we published respectively 21% and 17% of the scientific output of

Azores. This is a remarkable output since we were only about 10% of the

researchers publishing in the years of 2010-2012.

Fifty six projects run in 2008-2013, 43 of which were coordinated by integrated

members: 14 received international funding, 12 received national funding

(eight by FCT) and 30 received regional funding (21 by DRCT and nine more

projects were funded by other Agencies). These 56 projects brought about

2.390.993,00 Euros to the group. To these projects we must also add the funds

obtained for Ph.D. and Pos-Doc Grants, which totalled 1,314.720 Euros in 23

grants (13 Ph.D and 10 Post-Docs).

The contribution of Azores regional funds was 51% of the total funds raised by

Azorean Biodiversity Group, FCT contributed with 33% and international

projects contributed with 16%.

Group members performed consulting in the areas of agriculture and urban

pest control (particularly related to termites) and taxonomic species

identification, particularly for bryophytes, vascular plants and arthropods, and

provided tools (images, keys, literature) for species identification on its

website, Azorean Biodiversity Portal and SOSTERMITAS.

In these last years our team with collaborations with other research groups

(e.g. CIBIO-Azores) gathered enough data to overcome seven impediments to

the effective protection of island species and test ecological and

biogeographical theories for islands:

1) Azorean endemic species (particularly those of invertebrates) and their

ecological services are mostly unknown to the general public (the public

dilemma). With several initiatives our team is putting endemic species in the

local Press agenda. With Azorean Biodiversity Portal (ABP;

(http://www.azoresbioportal.angra.uac.pt/)) we are contributing to enhance

public knowledge and appreciation of the Azorean biodiversity. ABP provides a

wide range of resources that are used to promote students’ autonomy on the

elaboration of herbarium projects, by improving their species identification

skills and the understanding of higher rank taxonomy, allowing them to

compare current published distributions with their observations; after

validation, their records are used to feed the database, promoting collaborative

work among scientists, teachers and students.

2) Policymakers and stakeholders are mostly unaware of species conservation

problems (the political dilemma). By providing unrestricted, detailed

information on the distribution and abundance of species, our team is

contributing to conservation efforts in the Azores. Government managers

frequently consult the team to obtain data on individual species distributions or

http://www.azoresbioportal.angra.uac.pt/

5

maps of species richness, and such information has been used to reshape the

boundaries of protected areas of the region, both terrestrial and coastal.

3) Basic science on Azorean endemic species is scarce and underfunded (the

scientific dilemma). For the first time, there is for a group of islands (Azores)

information of quality for a group of arthropods and bryophytes, including

taxonomy, natural history data, distribution and abundance data obtained with

standardized techniques, information on species traits and also phylogenies of

some arthropod genera. Natural history and ecological studies, based on broad

sampling programs allows now knowing the species distributions and

abundances, how such parameters change in space and time and how these

changes relate with ecological change.

4) Most species are undescribed (the Linnean shortfall).

In the last twenty years members of Azorean Biodiversity Group demonstrated

that the knowledge on Azorean biodiversity was not uniform, and many groups

lacked adequate sampling and/ or taxonomic revision. To solve that we

performed research on classical (as well as molecular) taxonomy of the most

diverse Azorean taxonomic group (arthropods), describing many species of

beetles and spiders. Moreover, the web site “Azorean Biodiversity Portal”

(http://www.azoresbioportal.angra.uac.pt/) allows everyone to access updated

information on Azorean biodiversity. As a direct outcome of this online

database many national and international taxonomist have shown a growing

interest in Azorean biodiversity and many new collaborations have been

established that include taxonomic revisions and additional field work for

specimens collection.

5) The distribution of described species is mostly unknown (the Wallacean

shortfall)

6) The abundance of species and their changes in space and time are unknown

(the Prestonian shortfall).

To overcome the Wallacean shortfall implies the recognition that there is need

to enhance the funding of traditional local and regional inventories, if possible

using adequate standardized and optimized protocols. To overcome the

Prestonian shortfall, implies the recognition that absolute abundances of

species are usually impossible to obtain and too variable to measure, which can

be solved with comparisons in space (through inventorying) and time (through

monitoring).

This was achieved using The BALA project (2000-2010; Biodiversity of

Arthropods from the Laurisilva of the Azores) a survey of arthropods

distribution in Azorean native forests, which was also an important step

towards the inclusion of arthropod groups in biodiversity conservation planning

in the Azores. In addition, other standardized databases were obtained for


6

arthropods (ISLANDBIODIV and EDEN), bryophytes (MOVECLIM altitudinal

gradients database), and vascular plants (ISLANDBIODIV).

7) Species ways of life and sensitivities to habitat change are largely unknown

(the Hutchinsonian shortfall).

Although the ecology and sensitivity to habitat change of most species is

unknown, our team is now gathering trait data for many arthropod, bryophytes

and vascular plants species in Azores. With such kind of data it will be possible

testing the impact of land-use and climatic changes in the functional diversity

of native and disturbed communities.

But more importantly we are contributing to create unique databases on

species distribution and abundance in Azorean islands. With this kind of data

Azores archipelago can be used to test fundamental biogeographical and

ecological patterns and processes: i) neutral vs. niche species assembly; ii)

species abundance distributions ( SADs); iii) influence of scale on ecological

processes; iv) the role of local vs. regional processes in local species richness; v)

the impact of land-use and climatic changes on phylogenetic, taxonomic and

functional diversities; vi) the impact of forest fragmentation on species

extinctions; etc.

Island ecosystems are particularly less resilient to the impacts of human activity

or any other natural disrupting factor (e.g. species invasions). The results of our

research were fundamental to the development of programs and

preventive/mitigation measures to minimize the impacts of environmental risk

factors (either of anthropogenic or natural origin) on insular inhabitants and

other organisms. Our expertise on environmental risk assessment, pest

control, science and environmental communication and outreach, provided an

integrated outlook to support decision-making on island environmental health

and sustainable development policies.

Research Group Description and Achievements for 2013 and for the period 2008/2013

INTRODUCTION

Researchers that compose the Azorean Biodiversity Group (ABG) have

complementary expertise that allow to address research questions framed in the study

of biodiversity patterns (taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity), and its

changes under the impact of climatic, land use alterations, and species invasions,

which is key for guidelines of management and conservation. Emphasis are also given

on the implementation of communication strategies and instruments to be used in

participated risk appraisal, characterization and evaluation processes intended to

facilitate the governance of the risk of environmental hazards, climate change and to

increase social efficacy in the regions’ conservation of nature.


personnel over these last six years (2008-2013), increasing from six integrated

members in 2008 to the current 20. In this period 25 senior researchers participated in

the ABG —ten with an academic position, one with a research contract, and 14 post-

doctoral grant holders. In addition, 23 Ph.D. students and 13 research grant holders

worked with the senior researchers. It also worked with 18 International collaborators

acting as Associated Research Fellows collaborating in several projects and

publications.

The Group employed an integrated approach that combined multi-spatial and

temporal scales (scale has a profound effect on detecting ecological and evolutionary

patterns) with multi-metric measures of biodiversity (taxonomic, functional,

phylogenetic) and their inter-relationships. It holds unique standardized databases

from the last 13 years for arthropods (BALA, ISLANDBIODIV and EDEN), bryophytes

(MOVECLIM altitudinal gradients database), and vascular plants (ISLANDBIODIV).

Spreading its acquired knowledge both within the scientific community and to

the general public, was important for the ABG group in these last six years. Their

interdisciplinary approach integrated science and education allowed the creation of six

web-based resources (see below details).

The research produced by the ABG was crucial for wildlife conservation in

Azorean natural habitats and the management of invasive species, some of which are

useful for economic development. The Azorean government relied on the group for

accurate information to establish protected areas.

The year of 2013 was another excellent year for the Azorean Biodiversity Group

(ABG- CITA-A). The balance of the members of the ABG is good, especially those

registered for Doctoral Degrees. It is particularly encouraging that the turnover in this

latter group of researchers is predictably high, with a high and growing number of new

students registering in 2012-2013. There is a healthy number of Associate Scientists

including an international component as well as scientists who were formerly

registered as doctoral students or Post-doctoral researchers. The great novelty is the

application of Azorean Biodiversity Group to another FCT center, the CENTRE FOR

ECOLOGY, EVOLUTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE (Ce3C), based in Lisbon.

Ce3C’s main objective is to perform research that addresses societal challenges in

ecology, evolution and the environment—the three Es in the Centre’s name, for the

2015-2020 period. Our 19 integrated members with Ph.D., plus Ph.D. students and

collaborators will be now part of a large research centre, based in Lisbon, with 101

integrated members in which research questions will be addressed at both the

continental and insular scales. We are also keeping our participation in CITA-A during

2014, a year of transition, and enhance our activity in Portuguese Platform for

Enhancing Ecological Research & Sustainability (PEERS) network

(http://www.gba.uac.pt/plataforma/).

Between the years of 2008 and 2013 the Azorean Biodiversity Group (ABG)

contributed to the CITA-A vision and mission, by conducting research on oceanic

islands used as natural labs for testing ecological theory to understand how human

personnel over these last five years, increasing from eight integrated members with

Ph.D. in 2008 to the current 20.

In 2013 the group was composed by 20 senior researchers with Ph.D., nine of

whom have academic positions at the University of Azores, one a position in a State

Laboratory (LNEC), nine hold post-doctoral grants (six funded by Azorean Government

FRCT and three funded by FCT) and one is a Research technician (funded by Azorean

Government FRCT). The groups include at present 21 Ph.D. students (11 with FCT

grants), seven research grant holders and 19 M.Sc. students. In addition, 16 Associated

Research Fellows from several countries collaborate on different projects, creating a

network of Island research investigators.

PUBLICATIONS

YEAR 2013

Main achievements by integrated members in 2013 were the publication of 44

works, 25 of which being in International Indexed Journals with Impact Factor (57%).

The mean Impact Factor in 2013 was 3.0, publications in high Impact Factor Journals

(IF > 3.0¸ area Environmental Sciences - Ecology), equate to c. 38% of the ISI

publications (a total of 9 papers).

We published also of one authored Book and one Book as editors, three book

chapters, five outreach publications, five papers in peer-reviewed journals with no

impact factor, three papers in Proceedings of Symposia and one other type of

publications (see Fig. 1).

Figure 1. Number ou publications on the year of 2013 in the several possible categories.

This makes more than two publications by integrated member with a Ph.D., and

about 1.3 ISI papers per integrated member with a Ph.D.

To those 44 publications we can add 23 more with the affiliation of the ABG

There was a steady increase in the number of publications in the last six years

in Journals with Impact Factor (Fig. 5), with a maximum value of 36 in 2011. This

increase in publication was related with the number of integrated members with Ph.D.

(Fig. 6 and Table 3). The years of 2011 and 2012 were particularly productive.

For the year of 2014 we have already 15 papers In Press (most of them online

early in 2013) and 20 in evaluation, which gives a projection for 35 papers for 2014

(Fig. 5).

Figure 8. Proportion of researchers of Azorean Biodiversity Group in relation to

total Azorean researchers publishing papers in Journals of IF in the period 2008-

2012.

An interesting indicator for our scientific output is the relative proportion of our

production with that of the other research groups based in Azores. We investigated

the information in the Science Citation Index database (SCI) for the period 2008-2012

(2013 is still not updated). In 2011 and 2012 we published respectively 21% and 17% of

the scientific output of Azores (Fig. 7). This is a remarkable output since we were only

about 10% of the researchers publishing in the years of 2010-2012 (Fig. 8).

The detailed output of papers in journals with impact factor for each integrated

member with Ph.D. is given in Table 3 and the profile of the relative paper abundance

distribution per author is given in Figure 9. Eight out of 22 authors had 2 or more

papers per year on average (36%), and 14 out of 22 authors had at least one paper per

year (64%) (Table 3 and Fig. 9). Three of the most productive members will not be

integrate members in 2014, but will keep their collaboration with ABG for some years

in on-going projects. However, many Ph.D. students started their projects in 2012-

2013 and it is expected that they can contribute for a higher productivity of ABG

between 2014 and 2017.

But what about the relative performance of our researchers in comparison with

the researchers of other Azorean research groups? To answer this question we

investigated the information in the Science Citation Index database (SCI) for the period

2008-2012 (2013 is still not updated) and considered all the authors with affiliation to

a particular research group that published in the 2008-2012 period.

Following the recent indicator of FCT for the evaluation of research groups in

Portugal in the period 2008-2012, we calculated the number of investigators (here

including all investigators, not only those with Ph.D.) with at least four papers in IF

journals for this period. As we can see in Figure 10, the performance of our research

group (ABG- CITA-A) was equivalent to CVARG, CITA-A (other sub-groups) and CIBIO-

Azores. It is remarkable the number of researchers of IMAR-DOP with this indicator.

Figure 10. Number of researchers with at least 4 papers in Journals with IF in the

period 2008-2012 (see text).

However, if we standardize for the pool of investigators publishing in this period

and affiliated to these research groups, the results show an equilibrium between

research groups, with ABG keeping a good relative performance. Howver, we we

consider only the TOP researchers, i.e., those that published at least 10 papers in this

five years period (average of two per year) the results are quite different with only four

research groups having such indicator: IMAR-DOP (12 researchers); ABG (4

researchers); (CIBIO-Azores (4 researchers) and CITA-A (others) (2 researchers) (see

also Fig. 12 for the proportions based in the pool of researchers).

Highlights of the group’s main achievements include the following:

We demonstrated that species richness does increase with increasing habitat

diversity both in islands and the mainland, and that such effect appears even after

accounting for other factors such as area or altitude (PNAS - Proceedings of the

National Academy of Sciences 2013)

We have demonstrated that exotic species increase the homogenisation in

indigenous assemblages in the Azores archipelago, but the trajectory of this process

is independent and contingent of each island with the consequent implications for

conservation programs (Diversity and Distributions 2013);

Described the first phylogeography of an invertebrate genus at a Macaronesian

scale (J. Biogeography 2012);

Influenced the modification of the Common European Fisheries Policy via book

created and sent specifically to EU Parliment members who make changes to the

CFP (Neilson et al. (2012). Coastal fisheries in the Azores, Portugal – A question of

sovereignty, sustainability and space. In K. Schriewer & T. Højrup (Eds.) European

Fisheries at a tipping-point. pp. 465-505, Murcia, Es: Cátedra Jean Monnet

Universidade de Murcia.)

Added to global discussions of sustainability via contributing to the creation of a

book launched in Brasil at the Rio +20 conference (Neilson, A. L., Blomberg, D., &

Gabriel, R. (2012). Spirited practice of transformative education for sustainability. In

PROJECTS

2008-2013

Fifty six projects run in 2008-2013, 43 of which were coordinated by integrated

members: 14 received international funding, 12 received national funding (eight by

FCT) and 30 received regional funding (21 by DRCT and nine more projects were

funded by other Agencies). These 56 projects brought about € 2.390.993,00 Euros to

the group. In Figure 13 we see that most of these projects started in 2009, 2010 and

2012.

Figure 13. Money obtained in the 56 projects in the period 2008-2013. Each bar is the

sum of the total budget of the projects started in a particular year.

These 56 projects include eight service acquisition projects, being the budget

distribute as follows: 414.883 Euros in service acquisition and 1,976.110 Euros in

research projects.

To these projects we must also add the funds obtained for Ph.D. and Pos-Doc

Grants, which totalled 1,314.720 Euros in 23 grants (13 Ph.D and 10 Post-Docs).

If we consider three types of funding, i.e. research projects, grants and service

acquisition, in total we received almost 4 million Euros in the period 2008-2012, more

precisely 3,705.713 Euros (Fig. 14). As shown in Figure 14 most grants were obtained in

2012 although every year we obtained grants. Most of the money obtained in service

acquisition was based in contracts starting in 2010.

Analysing the main funding institutions (Fig. 16) we can highlight the growing

contribution of FCT between 2008 and 2010, and the important contribution of

regional projects (DRCT and FRCT) in the year of 2012. The contribution of Azores

regional funds (DRCT, FRCT and most of the Others) was 51% of the total funds raised

by Azorean Biodiversity Group, FCT contributed with 33% and international projects

contributed with 16% (Fig. 17).

We must highlight several research contracts with national or international

entities:

1) PEERS (starting in 2013)– Platform for Enhancing Ecological Research &

Sustainability, a consortium between the Center of Environmental Biology

(University of Lisbon, Portugal), the Azorean Biodiversity Group (University of

the Azores, Portugal) and the Center of Functional Ecology (University of

Coimbra, Portugal).

2) NATURE PARKS OF AZORES (starting in 2012)– We started an unprecedented

collaboration with several Azorean environmental organizations to perform a

Long Term Ecological Study in the natural forest of several Azorean islands. This

study is possible due to the collaboration with the Natural Parks of Santa Maria,

Terceira, Faial, Flores and Pico islands, the Botanical Garden of Faial island and

the Furnas Monitoring and Research Centre (São Miguel island); and the SPEA.

3) BIG – Biodynamical Island Group (starting in 2013) – This is an International

consortium research group implemented to model the General Dynamic Model

of Island Biogeography. It includes 14 international Researchers, where five of

them are either integrated members (P.A.V. Borges, F. Rigal), Ph.D. students (T.

Matthews) or collaborators (K. Triantis, R. Whittaker) of the Azorean

Biodiversity Group.

4) Development and Coordination for “RCE Açores” (starting in 2009)- part of UN

international education network Regional Centre of Expertise on Education for

Sustainable Development, accredited by the United Nations University,

Institute Of Advanced Studies.

Performances and exhibitions to the extent that they embody research

1) Isabel R. Amorim, Ana Moura Arroz and Rosalina Gabriel leaded and

implemented outreach activities to raise awareness towards endemic insects of

the Azores. Those initiatives, that involved many of the GBA members, included

an unprecedented urban intervention in the Azores, “Azoreans for millions of

36

years". Unique macro photographs of insects were placed in 12 buildings in the

main arteries of Angra do Heroísmo, in order to acquaint Azoreans with their

unique natural heritage (see more at

http://cita.angra.uac.pt/ficheiros/noticias/1364834635.pdf). This outdoor

exhibit resulted from the collaboration between experts of the of Azorean

Biodiversity Group (CITA-A, GBA) in evolutionary biology, entomology, social

psychology, communication design and extreme macro photography and was

funded and supported by various institutions : FCT - Foundation for Science and

Technology [Proj. PTDC/BIA-BEC/104571/2008] Association "The

Montanheiros" ART - Regional Tourism Association, Regional Secretary of

Natural Resources, Municipality of Angra do Heroismo. The photos were

performed by Javier Torrent (http://500px.com/Javier_Torrent) and

communication design was led by Ana Moura Arroz in a team that also includes

Rita São Marcos, Rosalina Gabriel, Isabel R. Amorim, Paulo Silva and Paulo A. V.

Borges (the Coordinator of the FCT Project).

2) Facebook initiative “Chama-lhe Nomes!”

(https://www.facebook.com/Chama.lhe.Nomes). This online contest

challenged cybernauts to come up with creative common names for insects

endemic to the Azores, raising awareness for the unique biodiversity of the

archipelago.
