Prospero hierae (Hyacinthaceae), a New Species from Marettimo Island (Sicily)
2009
A new species, Prospero hierae C. Brullo, S. Brullo, Giusso, Pavone & Salmeri (Hyacinthaceae), from Island of Marettimo (Egadi Archipelago, Sicily) is described and illustrated. Its chromosome number (2n = 14), leaf anatomy and ecology are examined. This small species with glaucous, adaxially flat leaves is closely related with the taxa belonging to the Prospero autumnale group and, in particular, it shows more affinities with P. corsicum, P. pulchellum and P. minimum.
Seed germination of Thymus richardii subsp. nitidus (Lamiaceae)
2021
The germination ability of the punctual endemic Thymus richardii subsp. nitidus (Lamiaceae) from the Island of Marettimo in W Sicily was studied. Mature seeds were collected in the field. Different experimental conditions were tested and the best methods with optimal germination results were provided. This is the first germination record for this taxon.
Depositional environment and biofacies characterisation of the Triassic (Carnian to Rhaetian) carbonate succession of Punta Bassano (Marettimo Island…
2007
AThe aims of this study are to reconstruct the geological setting of the Punta Bassano series (Marettimo Island, Egadi Archipelago, western Sicily) and its palaeogeographic evolution. The reference section for the Upper Triassic of Marettimo shows an alternation of marl and limestone beds together with brecciated levels. The limestones are both homogeneous mudstones with evaporite pseudomorphs and laminated with fenestrae. Foraminiferal, palynomorph, and ostracod associations constrain the Punta Bassano sequence to the Carnian-Rhaetian interval. The Punta Bassano succession represents a shallow inner ramp, ranging from open-marine environment with good water circulation to lagoonal and peri…

Author(s): Grancagnolo, Desiree; Arculeo, Marco | Abstract: We report for the first time in Italian waters a periodic and frequent presence of a summer aggregation of common eagle ray Myliobatis aquila in the island of Marettimo (southwestern Tyrrhenian Sea), which is part of the Marine Protected Area of the Egadi Islands. These aggregation could be related to different phenomena such as reproduction, feeding or simply as a transit zone.
L'insediamento cristiano di "Case Romane" nell'isola di Marettimo dal periodo protobizantino alla rifondazione di età normanna
2010
Questo contributo sintetizza i risultati preliminari di sette mesi di campagna di scavo nell’insediamento romano, bizantino e medievale di “Case Romane” a Marettimo. Questo scavo è stato realizzato nell’ambito di un progetto di restauro attuato con fondi della Comunità Europea e questo lavoro tiene conto anche dei risultati di questi interventi. Si tratta di un sito pluristratificato di una certa rilevanza anche per il ruolo importante giocato nell’isola nell’ambito di una prospettiva mediterranea. Marettimo infatti era un’importante scalo e statio lungo la rotta che collegava l’Africa (Capo Bon) con la capitale (Roma). In questa ottica non sfugge la rilevanza di queste ricerche. In partico…
