Adiciones a la flora del Rincón de Ademuz y los Serranos (Valencia)
1999
Se dan a conocer algunos táxones que suponen novedad para la flora de las comarcas del Rincón de Ademuz y/o Los Serranos, y se amplía la distribución de otros ya conocidos en las mismas, tratándose en todos los casos de endemismos iberolevantinos o de plantas consideradas como raras en la provincia de Valencia. Several taxa new or rare for the local floras of Rincón de Ademuz and/or Los Serranos territories (Valencia province, East of Spain) are reported. Most of them are Iberolevantine endemics or plants regarded as rares for the Valencian flora. Trabajo realizado al amparo del proyecto LIFE B4/3200/93/766 (Creación de la red de microrreservas de flora de la Comunidad Valenciana), cofinanc…

The paradox of the alien plant Leucaena leucocephala subsp. glabrata (Rose) S. Zárate in Sicily: another threat for the native flora or a valuable re…
2020
With this contribution, an updated picture of the rapid expansion of Leucaena leucocephala subsp. glabrata in Sicily is provided. On the one hand, this is a quite worrying sign, as this woody species figures among the world’s worst invasive alien species. On the other hand, the species shows interesting potential for production purposes (for wood, biomass and for feeding livestock), also considering its nitrogen fixation ability. Consequently, the two opposite options to cope with this species, i.e. cultivation and control/eradication, should accurately take into account the possible uses as well as its invasive behaviou.
Atlas Florae Europaeae. Distribution of vascular plants in Europe 15 (Rosaceae: Rubus).

Comparison of the intestinal microbiome of italian patients with multiple sclerosis and their household relatives
2021
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic immune-mediated disease of the central nervous system, caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. In recent years, a role in MS pathogenesis was assigned to the gut microbiota. However, different signatures of gut dysbiosis have been shown to depend on environmental factors, like diet and lifestyle. In this study, we compared the gut microbiome in MS patients and their household healthy relatives sharing lifestyle and environmental factors. Faecal metagenomic DNA was extracted and the V3–V4 regions of the conserved bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA gene were amplified and sequenced. While overall bacterial communities were similar, specific …
Studio geobotanico del Parco Eolico di Ulassai
2008
Il Parco Eolico di Ulassai sembra la materializzazione di un ossimoro: gli imponenti aerogeneratori, quasi avessero compiuto un viaggio a ritroso nel tempo, sorprendono l’osservatore in un paesaggio antico, modellato da una gestione del territorio rimasta pressoché invariata da millenni. Nello spazio tra la torre eolica 43 e i resti del Nuraghe Cea Arcis, poco discosto, è riassunta la storia di un luogo sardo recondito ma significativo. Tra gli aerogeneratori disseminati sulle dolci ondulazioni del Parco Eolico, si aggirano indolenti gli animali al pascolo: mucche, pecore, capre, maiali. Tutt’attorno, l’orizzonte è segnato dai profili scultorei e primordiali dei tacchi d’Ogliastra. E quei 2…

Nectar-Inhabiting Bacteria Affect Olfactory Responses of an Insect Parasitoid by Altering Nectar Odors
2022
AbstractFloral nectar is ubiquitously colonized by a variety of microorganisms among which yeasts and bacteria are the most common. Microorganisms inhabiting floral nectar can alter several nectar traits, including nectar odor by producing microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs). Evidence showing that mVOCs can affect the foraging behavior of insect pollinators is increasing in the literature, whereas the role of mVOCs in altering the foraging behavior of third-trophic level organisms such as insect parasitoids is largely overlooked. Parasitoids are frequent visitors of flowers and are well known to feed on nectar. In this study, we isolated bacteria inhabiting floral nectar of buckwhe…
