《一个书法主义者 洛齐》是10 卷本《书法主义文献丛书》中的一本,洛齐教授(中国美术学院)是这套丛书的主编。由于这套丛书是当代艺术研究的成果,具有很高的科学学术价值,它将在中华人民共和国的所有公共图书馆和大学分发,并将在全国范围内广泛传播。这套丛书是中国第一套关于书法文化和艺术领域获得中国国家图书最高学术奖的书,阿德丽亚娜·叶星(Adriana Iezzi)博士也是获得最高学术奖的作者。In this book, the author explores in detail the theory and practice of “Calligraphyism” (Shufazhuyi), the most important Chinese post-modern calligraphic movement, reconstructing its history and its diffusion in China and abroad. At the same time, the author deeply analyses the artistic production and theoretical thoughts of the founder of this movement, Prof. Luo Qi (Hangzhou, 1960). Prof. Luo Qi is one of the most important and influential calligraphers in contemporary China. In his works, calligraphy is used as a versatile art, receiving the mutual influence of Western art and "Modern Chinese Calligraphic Movement" (Zhongguo xiandai shufa), while in his theoretical writings, he thinks about the future of calligraphy, expanding the concept of Calligraphyism globally.
The book is divided into five chapters: 1. The Art of Calligraphy in Contemporary China; 2. Luo Qi's biography; 3. Luo Qi's works; 4. Calligraphyism; 5. Interviews about Luo Qi's art. A large number of images of calligraphic artworks and contemporary exhibitions enrich and expand the content of the book.
This book is included in a series of 10 books entitled “Calligraphyism. A Series of Books.” Prof. Luo Qi (China Academy of Art) is the editor of this series. Due to the high scientific value of this series, it will be distributed in all public libraries of the People's Republic of China and it will have a very wide diffusion throughout the Chinese territory. This series of books has been the first in China to win the highest academic award for Chinese National Books in the field of calligraphy, culture and art, and Dr. Adriana Iezzi has obtained this highest academic award as author of the book entitled “A Practitioner of Calligraphyism: Luo Qi”

Data from: Are tree plantations promoting homogenization of mammal assemblages between regions with contrasting environments?
Aim
The expansion of agriculture is promoting the loss of natural environments and their biotic homogenization. We aimed at understanding whether the replacement of forests and grasslands by tree plantations leads to biotic homogenization of mammal assemblages of two contrasting Neotropical ecoregions or if dispersal or environmental limitations keep their original assemblages clearly differentiated.
Location
Argentina, Upper Paraná Atlantic Forest, Southern Cone Mesopotamian Savannas and Iberá marshes
Taxon
Mammals
Methods
We conducted two camera-trap surveys, deploying 184 camera-trap stations in continuous forest, fragmented forest, and pine plantations in the Atlantic Forest, and 234 in grassland, fragmented forest, and pine plantations in the Mesopotamian Savannas. We evaluated the similarity of the assemblages among the environments and regions, generating all possible pairwise comparisons using three similarity indices: Sørensen (species identity), Horn (common species), and Morisita-Horn (dominant species). Using variation partitioning diagrams and redundancy analysis, we evaluated the spatial structure of mammal assemblages and the influence of environmental variables.
Results
There was a greater similarity in species identity between different environments within each region than between similar environments in different regions. Common and dominant mammal assemblages of tree plantations tended to be similar between regions and were different from assemblages of the natural environments within the same region. Fragmented forest assemblages were very similar among regions. Assemblages were spatially structured but most of the variation between regions was explained by the environmental variables.
Main conclusions
Each region has a distinct pool of species, which is partially explained by environmental factors, such as the differential representation of native environments in the landscape. However, an expansion of tree plantations and forest fragmentation in the Atlantic Forest could lead to biotic homogenization between regions due to an increase in the abundance of generalist species.Independent variables
We estimated the percentage of each natural and anthropogenic land cover ("% of forest", "% of grassland" and "% of wetland", "% anthropogenic", "% of tree plantation") around the camera-trap stations using a Geographic Information System (GIS) and a land-use raster layer (pixels of 30x30 m) created for 2013-2014 by Zuleta et al. (2015). "% anthropogenic" was estimated as the percentage of all anthropogenic land uses (urban areas, crops, shrub and tree plantations) and "% of tree plantation" as the percentage of tree plantation only. The heterogeneity of land uses ("heterogeneity") was estimated using the Shannon-Wiener index (Shannon & Weaver, 1949) generated with the Fragstat software (ver. 4.2), using the number of pixels of each type of land use, including anthropogenic uses. These variables were estimated at five different radii centered on the camera-trap locations (200, 500, 1000, 2000, and 5000 m). Variable "cost of access" is an indirect measure of human impact and hunting pressure and was estimated as the time required for a person to reach the station from the nearest town or city following De Angelo, Paviolo & Di Bitetti (2011) and Iezzi et al. (2018; 2020). We estimated the livestock density ("livestock") at local scale as the number of independent cattle records/sampling effort (in days) at each camera-trap station. Climate data were obtained for each station from WorldClim (Fick & Hijmans, 2017), a set of global climate layers with a spatial resolution of about 1 km2: BIO5 corresponds to Max Temperature of Warmest Month; BIO6 to Min Temperature of Coldest Month; BIO14 to Precipitation of Driest Month; and BIO15 to Precipitation Seasonality (Coefficient of Variation).
GIS variables were estimated using ArcGIS 10.6 with the support of the ESRI Conservation Program and the Society for Conservation GIS (SCGIS).

In the Atlantic Forest, we randomly distributed 184 camera-trap stations (with a minimum distance of 2 km between stations) in three main environments: continuous forest, fragmented forest, and tree plantations (Iezzi et al., 2018). Continuous forest stations (53 camera-trap stations) were located in the largest continuous native forest block (~370,000 ha), surrounded in a 2-km radius by more than 75% of forest cover. Fragmented forest stations (69 stations) were in forest remnants with varying degrees of anthropogenic disturbance, outside the continuous forest (Iezzi et al., 2019). Stations in tree plantations (62 stations) were located in 4- to 14-year-old pine plantation stands. The cameras were active between May 2013 and December 2014 for an average of 49.8 days (range: 12 - 123 days), totaling 9,171.8 camera days of effort.
In the Mesopotamian Savannas, we deployed 234 camera-trap stations, at least 2 km apart, in three environments: native grassland (89 camera-trap stations), fragmented forest (54 stations), and tree plantations (91 stations; Iezzi et al., 2020). Stations in tree plantations were immersed in 1- to 30-year-old pine plantation stands. Approximately half of the stations within each environment were located in fields with cattle (N=107; Di Bitetti et al., 2020). Cameras were active between May 2016 and March 2017, with a mean effort of 44.9 days (range: 21 - 67 days) per station, totaling 10,493.9 camera-trap days.
Stations were not baited and were located off-road, attached to a tree trunk or stake at 25-50 cm above ground level. More than 1 h had to pass for successive pictures of a species to be considered independent records. Records of small (<200 g) sigmodontine rodents were categorized as "sigmodontines" since it was difficult to identify them at species level. We excluded the records of domestic exotic mammals and 328 records that were impossible to identify at species level. Those sites with no records (9 stations) were excluded from the dataset.
For each species, we report the relative frequency of records at each station (# of independent records / # of camera-trap days)
