Vegetation series as a marker of interactions between rural settlements and landscape: new insights from the archaeological record in Western Sicily
2020
[EN] Plant communities are complex and dynamic elements of the landscape, intertwined with both natural factors and human activities. Vegetation series reflect the environmental characteristics of the landscape, but also the anthropic impact, one of the exogenous forces that most profoundly affects the landscape formation process. This paper aims to investigate the interactions between long-term human settlement catchment areas and vegetation series. The case study area of the Sicani Mountains (Central-Western Sicily) proved to be an ideal place to perform GIS-based spatial analysis in order to compare a data set of rural archaeological sites and land units created through the mapping of ve…
A multifaceted field sampling approach for the management of extremely narrow endemic vascular plant species
2022
Extremely narrow endemic plant species (ENEs) are generally connected with micro- refugia characterized by particular environmental conditions. In-depth knowledge of the ecological requirements of ENEs is fundamental to plan appropriate conservation measures. Using cross-cutting technology, this paper gives a multifaceted approach to collect on-site data on the ecology of ENEs, defines the protocols for a correct sampling design and describes the type of equipment, the time and expenditure needed. Our sampling approach is based on two orthogonal transects, long enough to extrapolate the whole ecological gradient across the area of occupancy of the target species. Microclimatic data are reco…
Social participation in shaping their local landscape
2015
Charakter lokalnego krajobrazu w znaczącej części zależy od poziomu świadomości społeczności, która na danym terenie egzystuje. Głównie chodzi tutaj o poczucie własnej wartości kulturowej oraz znajomości chociażby podstawowych zasad ekologicznego korzystania z zasobów krajobrazowych. Głównym celem badań, których wyniki przedstawiono w niniejszym rozdziale było uzyskanie odpowiedzi na ile i w jakim zakresie ankietowani uważają, że mają znaczący wpływ na podejmowane decyzje w dziedzinie szeroko pojętego modelowania otaczającego ich krajobrazu? Stwierdzenie „Myśl globalnie – działaj lokalnie” czy też „Gmina terenem racjonalnego kształtowania krajobrazu” – jak potwierdzają wyniki przeprowadzony…
Il paesaggio nelle scienze sociali
2019
Il capitolo descrive i quattro significati di paesaggio che sono stati recentemente proposti nelle scienze sociali, per concentrarsi sul ruolo del paesaggio come connettore per discipline e studiosi diversi. The chapter describes the four meanings of landscape that have recently been proposed in the social sciences, to focus on the role of landscape as a connector for different disciplines and scholars.
Applying the RUSLE and ISUM in the Tierra de Barros Vineyards (Extremadura, Spain) to Estimate Soil Mobilisation Rates
2020
Spain is one of the largest wine producers in the world, with Extremadura (south-west Spain) being its second-largest producing region after Castilla La Mancha. Within Extremadura, the most traditional and productive viticulture region is the Tierra de Barros, which boasts an annual production of 3×

Indexing the Local, State and Global in the Contemporary Linguistic Landscape of a Hungarian town in Slovakia
2015
On the basis of photography and fieldwork, the linguistic landscape (LL) of the central square of Dunajská Streda/ Dunaszerdahely is analyzed. I focus on commercial names, which dominate the LL of the main square. The research site, a town in Slovakia of which population 80 % is Hungarian speaking, is significant, since historical minorities form the majority in very few European towns. The characteristics, functions and meanings of a linguistic landscape are best charted through a combination of methods. A distributional account provides us a basic account of what languages there are in the investigated scene. We may compare this with surveys, censuses and other similar cities, as in our c…
Comparative transcriptomics of albino and warningly‐coloured caterpillars
2021
Abstract Coloration is perhaps one of the most prominent adaptations for survival and reproduction of many taxa. Coloration is of particular importance for aposematic species, which rely on their coloring and patterning acting as a warning signal to deter predators. Most research has focused on the evolution of warning coloration by natural selection. However, little information is available for color mutants of aposematic species, particularly at the genomic level. Here, I compare the transcriptomes of albino mutant caterpillars of the aposematic wood tiger moth (Arctia plantaginis) to those of their full sibs having their distinctive orange‐black warning coloration. The results showed >29…
