New records of corticioid fungi from Sicily
2016
This paper is the result of an on-going study on distribution and ecology of corticioid wood-inhabiting fungi in Sicily. Twenty-five species not previously recorded in Sicily are here listed. For each taxon, ecological and distributional data are provided. Subulicystidium perlongisporum was recorded in Italy for the first time in two localities occurring on Quercus ilex L. wood. Description, distributional and ecological data of this rare taxon are also provided. Dendrophora versiformis and Kavinia alboviridis, considered rare species in Italy and Europe, are included in this report.

Environmental Radioactivity Measurements in the Mediterranean Area
2010
In the framework of an environmental radioactivity monitoring program, a research activity concerning an optimization of techniques for sampling and measurement of environmental radioactivity was performed at the Nuclear Engineering Department (DIN) of Palermo University. Al-though initially aimed to the analysis of monitoring data of the local network installed at the nuclear research reactor AGN-201 "COSTANZA" of Palermo University, in the following years the studies were oriented to improve the sampling facilities and measurement systems with the aim to achieve also detection limits as low as possible. The activity has allowed to collect numerous data of nuclide activity concentration fo…
ECOLOGICAL FEATURES OF MACROMYCETES IN EUCALYPTUS REFORESTATIONS IN SICILY (SOUTHERN ITALY)
2009
The objective of this work was to compare and estimate the ecological features of 192 macromycetes, including nine hypogeous and three semi-hypogeous fungi, collected in Sicilian areas reforested with Eucalyptus. The number of mycorrhizal fungi turned out to be only 22 % of the taxa recorded so far from other areas, and this underlines the difficulties of eucalyptus trees in adapting to the pedological and climatic conditions of Sicily.
Feudalesimi nel Mediterraneo moderno
2015
Si deve al medievista Pierre Toubert l’elaborazione della categoria di feudalesimo mediterraneo, per definire un sistema di produzione dai tratti comuni diffusosi nei secoli centrali del Medioevo in uno spazio assai ampio, che comprendeva il mondo iberico, la Francia meridionale, l’Italia, gli stati latini d’Oriente. Alla tesi di Toubert furono mossi – com’è noto – non pochi rilievi critici: la dilatazione degli spazi e dei tempi, la sostanziale omogeneità tra tutti i paesi del bacino mediterraneo, la rigidità del modello, l’inerzia o la semi-immobilità in esso rappresentate più che il cambiamento, la visione spesso frammentata in tante microanalisi. Non per questo la categoria di feudalesi…

Pleurotus eryngii var. thapsiae var. nov. from Sicily
2002
Field investigation in the Sicilian territory allowed the study of Pleurotus eryngii basidiomata growing in association with Thapsia garganica. The evaluation of morphological, ecological, distribution and isozyme, and PCR-RAPD data together with a revision of Bresadola's herbarium specimens kept in the Herbarium Botanische Staatssamlung (M) led to the description of a new variety, Pleurotus eryngii var. tahpsiae var. nov.
The genus Tamarix (Tamaricaceae) in Apulia (southern Italy)
2018
This survey is part of the floristic exploration activities on the Italian territory related to the identification of spontaneous and cultivated plants of the genus Tamarix L. A list of tamarisks from Apulia (southern Italy) is here reported together with ecological and distributive data. On the whole, 7 species and 1 variety were recorded in the Apulian region. T. arborea var. arborea is the species with the widest distribution in the Apulian territory. The presence of T. canariensis, T. dalmatica and T. gallica, previously indicated for Apulia by other authors, is currently not confirmed.
