Postnatal odorant exposure induces peripheral olfactory plasticity at the cellular level
2014
Mammalian olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) form the primary elements of the olfactory system. Inserted in the olfactory mucosa lining of the nasal cavity, they are exposed to the environment and their lifespan is brief. Several reports say that OSNs are regularly regenerated during the entire life and that odorant environment affects the olfactory epithelium. However, little is known about the impact of the odorant environment on OSNs at the cellular level and more precisely in the context of early postnatal olfactory exposure. Here we exposed MOR23-green fluorescent protein (GFP) and M71-GFP mice to lyral or acetophenone, ligands for MOR23 or M71, respectively. Daily postnatal exposure to …
Il viaggio di Lopichis (Paolo Diacono, HL IV 37): discesa agli inferi e ascesa alla salvezza
2013
This paper explores the tale – which is also a saga – of the escape of Lopichis, a Langobard, from the Avaro-Slavic captivity in the first half of the 7th century, described by Paul the Deacon in his Historia Langobardorum (book IV, chapter 37). Lopichis was the great-grandfather of Paul the Deacon. The analysis focuses on the episodes of the encounter with a wolf who tooks the leadership until Lopichis decided to shoot him with a bow; and the encounter with an old Slavic woman who saves the young man from the death. The tale written by Paul the Deacon is formed by two opposite sections: the first figures as a descensus ad inferos, the second as ascensio to the salvation.
Intérêts du phénotypage de la personnalité pour améliorer la lutte biologique : cas d’étude chez l’auxiliaire Trichogramma evanescens
2021
One promising approach to improve the use of biological control agents (BCA) consists in the exploitation of intraspecific variation on traits related to mass-rearing or field performance. Consistent inter-individual variations in behaviour (known as personality) have never been considered in biological control (BC) while they have proved to be heritable and correlated to phenotypic traits possibly related to fitness in rearing or field conditions. The aim of this PhD thesis was (i) to develop an experimental design to measure personality traits in a the egg-parasitoid Trichogramma evanescens, and (ii) to evaluate the feasibility and interest of phenotyping personality traits to set and imp…

Choice alters Drosophila oviposition site preference on menthol
2013
Summary Food choice and preference relies on multiple sensory systems that are under the control of genes and sensory experience. Exposure to specific nutrients and nutrient-related molecules can change food preference in vertebrates and invertebrates. For example, larval exposure of several holometabolous insects to menthol can change their adult response to this molecule. However, studies involving Drosophila melanogaster exposure to menthol produced controversial results due maybe to methodological differences. Here, we compared the oviposition-site preference of wild-type D. melanogaster lines freely or forcibly exposed to menthol-rich food. After 12 generations, oviposition-site prefer…
Studio retrospettivo sulla qualità igienico-sanitaria delle ricotte prodotte in Sicilia
2017
La ricotta è un prodotto lattiero caseario estremamente diffuso nei paesi del Mediterraneo ottenuto per termocoagulazione acida del siero. Scopo del lavoro è stato valutare la qualità igienico sanitaria delle ricotte siciliane mediante uno studio retrospettivo; sono stati analizzati i dati dei campioni conferiti all’ZS della Sicilia per controllo ufficiale, autocontrollo o progetti di ricerca. Dal 2002 ad oggi sono state esaminate 1295 ricotte fresche, nella maggior parte dei campioni sono stati ricercati L. monocytogenes (1156), Salmonella sp. (998), Brucella sp. (721), Stafilococchi coagulasi positivi (639) e E. coli (598). Su un numero di campioni variabile fra 98 e 371 è stata eseguita …
Evaluación de las células de la blastema de aleta caudal como donantes en quimeras intraespecíficas de pez cebra
2008
The blastema is a regenerative tissue with remarkable pluripotency. The aim of this work done on zebrafish (Danio rerio) was to define technical procedures required for obtaining and integrating blastema cells into embryos at the mid blastula transition stage (MBT) and the effect on survival, as well as the capacity to produce pigmented chimaeras. Wild type blastema cells were injected into gold type MBT embryos (E). Wild MBT blastomere cells were also injected into gold type MBT embryos as a control (C1). A second control group, C2, was not subjected to any manipulation. Survival was evaluated at 24, 48 and 72 h after performing the chimaerism, and the rate of adult chimaeras evaluated. Th…
Repossi: più benessere animale con il nuovo ranghinatore Ra-Rake
2019
Il foraggio con meno ceneri aumenta la produttività di latte: l'università di Milano stima in +€23.000 l'anno i benefici economici per l'allevatore, quando usa il ranghinatore Ra-Rake. I risultati dei test scientifici misurano l'impatto finanziario sui conti della stalla.
