Description of two new species of ostracods from the Strait of Messina (central Mediterranean)
No full textMore than 100 years after the studies of G. Seguenza, sediment samples from the Strait of Messina (central Mediterranean) were examined in order to study
their ostracod faunas. Two new species, Anchistrocheles seguenzai n. sp. and Phlyctocythere sicula n. sp., were found, both in thanatocoenoses from the Bathyal
zone, at a depth of 545 m. Anchistrocheles seguenzai n. sp. is distinguishable from A. tenera (Breman, 1975), the only living species of the genus in Recent Mediterranean, and from the other species of the genus because of the more
reniform-subquadrangular outline of its carapace and the different height/length ratio values. In the same way, Phlyctocythere sicula n. sp. can be distinguished from P. pellucida (Müller, 1894) the only living species of the genus in Recent Mediterranean, because of its more rounded outline, less marked caudal process which is more obtuse and more shifted to the median side of the posterior end, the inflated postero-ventral area, the more acute anterior margin and the narrower marginal zone and vestibula. The stratigraphic and geographic distribution of some species of both genera is indicated

Il Museo Nazionale dell’Antartide. Uno sguardo agli ambienti estremi
Full text linkDefinire la missione culturale del Museo Nazionale dell’Antartide e, in generale dei musei scientifici, è considerata generalmente una questione complessa. Il museo deve proporsi come luogo di scoperta, che fornisce stimoli alla curiosità, senza pretendere di essere esauriente, ma piuttosto riuscendo a far assaporare la scienza, tanto da rendere il visitatore non solo fruitore ma anche produttore e soggetto principale di cultura. In tal senso i musei scientifici possono e devono avere un ruolo determinante nel promuovere la diffusione della cultura scientifica, coinvolgendo il pubblico di ogni età, fornendo informazioni, conoscenze, stimoli e motivazioni all’apprendimento.
La realizzazione a Trieste del Museo Nazionale dell’Antartide si offre a questa prospettiva usufruendo, in quanto centro interuniversitario preposto anche alla ricerca, del mondo della cultura universitaria, e trasferendola in modo semplificato alla società civile. La concretizzazione, infatti, di una moderna esposizione con annesse aule conferenze, laboratori didattici ed attività diversificate di divulgazione temporanea, tra cui la capacità di analisi e studio di moderne metodiche didattico/divulgative, realizza un ponte tra la cultura scientifica di alto livello e la divulgazione della stessa verso l’utenza media.
Defining the cultural mission of the National Museum of Antarctica and in general of science museums is a complex issue. The museum should present itself as a place of discovery, which provides incentives to curiosity, without claiming to be exhaustive, but rather managing to enjoy science, so as to make the visitor not only the user but also a producer and main subject of culture.
Science museums can and should play a key role in promoting the diffusion of scientific culture involving an audience of all ages, providing information, knowledge, incentives and motivation to learn. In this context the realization of the National Museum of Antarctica in Trieste offers the opportunity to interact with the world of university culture. A modern exhibition that includes classroom lectures, educational workshops and diversified temporary exhibitions can create a bridge between scientific culture and society
