The microcrustacean fauna of Sicily and the Central Mediterranean Sea area - Current knowledge and gaps to be filled
2006
The current knowledge of freshwater entomostracans from Sicily and some neighbouring central-Mediterranean countries is briefly reviewed. Data concerning different countries and different taxonomical groups are markedly inhomogeneous and often far from being representative of the real biota of the corresponding countries. This gap prevents a sound biogeographical analysis of the freshwater microcrustacean fauna of the area. The major gaps that have to be filled are highlighted and the need for more surveys and monitoring is emphasised.
Le faune a mammiferi della Sicilia tra il Tardoglaciale e l’Olocene
2011
A check-list of Sicilian terrestrial mammals from Late Glacial to the Holocene has been compiled and a quantitative methodology of data analysis to calculate their occurrence and extinction rates has been adopted, in order to synthesize the temporal turnover of mammal species occurred during the last 17,5 ky. In such interval Sicily, probably passed from a fully connection (via a temporary land bridge generated by eustatic change of sea level) with Southern Calabria to the present isolation phase. To better focus the faunal turnover, this temporal interval has been subdivided into three phases: Late Glacial, ancient and recent Holocene. 28 Mammal taxa were recorded: 17 in the Late Glacial, …

Flora e fauna antartica di interesse biotecnologico: esperienze e future prospettive in Italia ed Argentina
2016
L’Antartide è un ambiente in cui sono presenti contemporaneamente estreme condizioni di temperatura, luce, umidità e vento. La biosfera locale presenta una notevole biodiversità ed una serie di fenomeni unici usati come soluzioni per poter vivere a queste condizioni. La componente più rappresentata è quella microbica e batterica in particolare; sono stati infatti recentemente descritti, da gruppi di ricerca dell’Università di Messina in collaborazione con l’Università di Palermo, batteri in grado di produrre delle molecole antibiotico-simili con spiccate proprietà batteriostatiche nei confronti di ceppi opportunisti particolarmente temibili in caso di infezioni in soggetti affetti da Fibros…
A new small mammal assemblage from the Pirro 12 “Terre Rosse” fissure filling (Gargano, Southeastern Italy).
2011
The Pirro 12 fissure filling has been discovered and sampled by a team of the University of Torino during the 2005 field survey in the Dell’Erba Quarry (Apricena, Foggia). The occurrence of a very small Deinogalerix and of a very simple Mikrotia supported, at a first glance, the very old position of Pirro 12 in the biochronological succession of endemic faunal settlements of Gargano (Villier, 2011). In this communication the preliminary result of taxonomic studies of the small mammal assemblage of the Pirro 12 filling is presented. The Gliridae is by far the most common family in this site. Two species of the endemic genus Stertomys have been identified: the small-sized Stertomys cf simplex…

AN OVERVIEW ON THE SUBTERRANEAN FAUNA FROM CENTRAL ASIA
2019
Survey of the aquatic subterranean fauna from caves, springs, interstitial habitat, wells in deserts, artificial tunnels (Khanas) of five countries of the former URSS (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tadjikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan) located far east the Caspian Sea. The cave fauna present some originalities: - the rich fauna of foraminiferida in the wells of the Kara-Kum desert (Turkmenistan); - the cave fish Paracobitis starostini from the Provull gypsum Cave (Turkmenistan); - the presence of a rich stygobitic fauna in the wells of the Kyzyl-Kum desert (Uzbekistan); - the rich stygobitic fauna from the hyporheic of streams and wells around the tectonic Issyk-Kul Lake (Kyrgyzstan); - the e…
