Plasticity in the trophic niche of an invasive ant explains establishment success and long‐term coexistence
2021
Invasive species are one of the main threats to biodiversity worldwide and the processes enabling their establishment and persistence remain poorly understood. In generalist consumers, plasticity in diet and trophic niche may play a crucial role in invasion success. There is growing evidence that invasive ants, in particular, occupy lower trophic levels in their introduced range compared to the native one, but evidences remain fragmented. We conducted stable isotope analysis at five locations distributed on two continents to infer the trophic position of the invasive ant Formica paralugubris in the native and introduced part of the range. This species forms large colonies and can be a vorac…
An update of the known distribution and status of Cherax spp. in Italy (Crustacea, Parastacidae)
2022
To date, only two Cherax species have been reported to occur in Italy, i.e., C. destructor Clark, 1936 and C. quadricarinatus (von Martens, 1868), both in the wild and in aquaculture farms. Therefore, we aimed to update their current status and distribution in Italian mainland and Sicily. In addition, we investigated the origin of their known populations, and their possible routes of invasion. In order to genetically characterize the Cherax populations occurring in Italian inland waters and aquaculture facilities, the barcode region of the mtDNA gene cytochrome oxidase subunit I was sequenced in the available specimens originating from an aquaculture facility and a museum collection. The sa…
Performing arts and mediation technology in the period of lockdown
2021
Advancements in digital technologies have become novel ways to enrich communication, expression, and transmission of arts knowledge. Technology is increasingly implemented in the performance space, as a source of inspiration for artists. Especially in this period of lockdown, mediation technology has turned out to be an essential tool for different aspects of social life, as in performing arts. With venues, schools and artistic activities closed, performers, students and spectators have been obliged to keep connecting in remote conditions. This article wants to retrace the aesthetic impact of mediation technology in performing arts during this period of lockdown by focusing on the aspects t…
Evaluación de parámetros biomecánicos durante la marcha en adultos mayores tras dos programas de entrenamiento
2019
Con la edad, la calidad de la marcha se ve afectada negativamente debido a una disminución del control y la coordinación del sistema locomotor, llevando a la adquisición de estrategias de adaptabilidad de la marcha más conservadoras. Estos cambios provocarán que los adultos mayores (AMs) muestren valores de presión plantar durante la marcha más altos que adultos de menor edad, así como también una menor capacidad de atenuación de los impactos de aceleración, relacionándose con un mayor riesgo de lesión tisular, ulceración, lesiones degenerativas por sobreuso y dolor, tan comunes entre este tipo de población. Estos problemas desembocan, en la mayoría de las ocasiones, en una reducción del ni…

Principes de fonctionnement de la symbiose fixatrice de l’azote : impacts agronomiques et environnementaux.
2017
National audience; Par leur capacité à s’associer avec des bactéries du sol fixant l’azote atmosphérique, les légumineuses ont la particularité de pouvoir être cultivées sans utiliser d’engrais azotés, et d’être une source d’azote pour d’autres cultures. Elles ont ainsi un rôle particulier dans la gestion des flux d’azote au sein des systèmes de culture, et dans les bilans environnementaux qui en découlent. Dans ce texte, nous décrivons le processus de fixation symbiotique de N2 au cours de la culture, en considérant sa réponse à la disponibilité en nitrate, et aux autres facteurs environnementaux et facteurs génétiques. Puis, nous explicitons la façon dont la minéralisation des résidus de …
Early Paleocene Paleoceanography and Export Productivity in the Chicxulub Crater
2021
The Chicxulub impact caused a crash in productivity in the world''s oceans which contributed to the extinction of ~75% of marine species. In the immediate aftermath of the extinction, export productivity was locally highly variable, with some sites, including the Chicxulub crater, recording elevated export production. The long-term transition back to more stable export productivity regimes has been poorly documented. Here, we present elemental abundances, foraminifer and calcareous nannoplankton assemblage counts, total organic carbon, and bulk carbonate carbon isotope data from the Chicxulub crater to reconstruct changes in export productivity during the first 3 Myr of the Paleocene. We sh…
Assessing the Impact of Road and Land Use on Species Diversity of Trees, Shrubs, Herbs and Grasses in the Mountain Landscape in Southern Africa
2022
Mountain landscape, described as a global biodiversity hotspot due to high endemism, is threatened by land-use change, including management and modification of vegetation. However, there is little knowledge about how road and land use affect plant diversity in mountains landscapes, particularly in southern Africa. Previous studies have studied the impact of the road or land use on plant species diversity separately and have concentrated on a single plant species. Here we compare the plant diversity of regenerated trees, shrubs, herbaceous plant, and grasses among Forest, Fallow, Agriculture, and Road in the Moribane Forest Reserve (MFR), in Eastern Chimanimani Mountain landscape in Mozambiq…
