Scavenging in the realm of senses: smell and vision drive recruitment at carcasses in Neotropical ecosystems
2022
Social information, acquired through the observation of other individuals, is especially relevant among species belonging to the same guild. The unpredictable and ephemeral nature of carrion implies that social mechanisms may be selected among scavenger species to facilitate carcass location and consumption. Here, we apply a survival-modelling strategy to data obtained through the placement and monitoring of carcasses in the field to analyse possible information transmission cascades within a Neotropical scavenger community. Our study highlights how the use of different senses (smell and sight) within this guild facilitates carcass location through the transmission of social information bet…
Introduzione critica a Gaetano Mosca che cosa è la mafia
2013
L'introduzione critica al classico testo di Gaetano Mosca "Che cosa è la mafia" viene messa a confronto con la discussa interpretazione del odierno fenomeno mafioso data dal giudice Giovanni Falcone con la tesi della non esistenza del terzo livello rintracciabile invece nella ottocentesca analisi di Mosca.
Using genetic markers to unravel the origin of birds converging towards pre-migratory sites
2018
AbstractIdentifying patterns of individual movements in spatial and temporal scales can provide valuable insight into the structure of populations and the dynamics of communities and ecosystems. Especially for migrating birds, that can face a variety of unfavorable conditions along their journey, resolving movements of individuals across their annual cycle is necessary in order to design better targeted conservation strategies. Here, we studied the movements of a small migratory falcon, the Lesser Kestrel (Falco naumanni), by genetically assigning feathers from individuals of unknown origin that concentrate in large roosts during the pre-migratory period. Our findings suggest that birds fro…

Il valore della pubblicazione della tesi di laurea di Giovanni Falcone
2021
Questo volume è dato alle stampe a sessant’anni dalla laurea in giurisprudenza di Giovanni Falcone, conseguita con lode il 21 giugno 1961 presso l’Università di Palermo, e a quasi trent’anni dalla strage di Capaci1. 93. L’alto magistrato, come noto, fu ucciso nell’attentato del 23 maggio 1992, nel quale perì insieme alla moglie Francesca Morvillo, anch’essa giudice, e agli agenti della scorta, Rocco Dicillo, Vito Schifani e Antonio Montinaro. L’accertamento delle responsabilità penali a carico dei vertici di Cosa nostra, nell’ambito della strategia dell’eccidio di Capaci, si è concluso con la sentenza della Corte di Cassazione, sez. I, del 18 sett. 2008, nr. 1157, che ha confermato la sente…
The inhibition of glycerol permeation through aquaglyceroporin-3 induced by mercury(II)
2016
Mercurial compounds are known to inhibit water permeation through aquaporins (AQPs). Although in the last years some hypotheses were proposed, the exact mechanism of inhibition is still an open question and even less is known about the inhibition of the glycerol permeation through aquaglyceroporins. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of human aquaporin-3 (AQP3) have been performed up to 200 ns in the presence of Hg2+ ions. For the first time, we have observed the unbiased passage of a glycerol molecule from the extracellular to cytosolic side. Moreover, the presence of Hg2+ ions covalently bound to Cys40 leads to a collapse of the aromatic/arginine selectivity filter (ar/R SF), blocking th…
Interaction of iron(II)-heme and artemisinin with a peptide mimic of Plasmodium falciparum HRP-II
2007
Abstract The interaction of heme or heme-artemisinin adducts (heme-art) with different peptides mimicking repeat sequences of the Histidine-Rich-Protein-II of Plasmodium falciparum (PfHRP-II) was investigated. The pseudo-first order rate constants of the coordination of heme or heme-art onto a histidine rich peptide, used as a mimic of PfHRP-II putative heme binding sequence, are of the same order of magnitude, namely 42 and 14 s −1 , respectively. Despite the intrinsic reactivity of the carbonyl at C10 of heme-art toward a hydroxyl function, a peptide containing a serine or threonine residue does not readily react with heme-art adducts. Therefore, a much higher affinity of heme-art compare…
Digestive vacuole of Plasmodium falciparum released during erythrocyte rupture dually activates complement and coagulation.
2012
Abstract Severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria evolves through the interplay among capillary sequestration of parasitized erythrocytes, deregulated inflammatory responses, and hemostasis dysfunction. After rupture, each parasitized erythrocyte releases not only infective merozoites, but also the digestive vacuole (DV), a membrane-bounded organelle containing the malaria pigment hemozoin. In the present study, we report that the intact organelle, but not isolated hemozoin, dually activates the alternative complement and the intrinsic clotting pathway. Procoagulant activity is destroyed by phospholipase C treatment, indicating a critical role of phospholipid head groups exposed at the DV surfa…
