No full textFIGURE 2. Neighbor-joining tree of Sarcophaga spp. based on the analysis of 94 COI (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I) barcode sequences of equal length (538 bp). Numbers on the nodes indicate bootstrap support. Distances were computed using the Maximum Composite Likelihood method. Female specimens collected in 2019–2020 in Baden-Württemberg (SW Germany) and analysed morphologically in this study are displayed in bold. Sarcophaga crassipalpis Macquart was used as an outgroup species.Published as part of Schönberger, Daniel, Giordani, Giorgia, Vanin, Stefano & Whitmore, Daniel, 2022, A review of morphological characters for the identification of three common European species of Sarcophaga s. str.

SEASONAL VARIATION OF TREHALOSE AND GLYCEROL CONCENTRATIONS IN WINTER SNOW-ACTIVE INSECTS
No full textDifferent kinds of molecules were identified as antifreezing agents in the body fluids of cold tolerant invertebrates: sugars, polyols and proteins. While none of the active arthropods were so far reported to accumulate polyols, these compounds are present in the haemolymph of species that hibernate in a passive stage such as diapause.-In this work we investigated insect species that are active during winter and we demonstrated the ability of the mecopteran Boreus hiemalis (Mecoptera, Boreidae), the wingless fly Chionea sp. (Diptera, Limoniidae) and cantharid larvae (Coleoptera, Cantharidae) to accumulate sugars in their haemolymph to survive during winter. We report, for the first time, that for snow-active insects, trehalose comprises an important haemolymph component, its concentration changing as a function of the season, suggesting that the same adaptive strategies against cold conditions have evolved both in winter active and winter diapausing insects
Observations on the habitat and feeding behaviour of the hypogean genus Eukoenenia (Palpigradi, Eukoeneniidae) in the Western Italian Alps
Full text linkThe order Palpigradi includes species characterized by millimetric size and a characteristic flagellum with
bristles at the end of the opisthosoma. They represent one of the less well-known and obscure arachnid
orders. In this paper, observations were made on the ecology and feeding behavior of species belonging to
the genus Eukoenenia Börner, 1901, from the Western Italian Alps. Direct observations and photographic
documentation of 141 individuals in their cave habitat, allowed the recording of data on the physical and
trophic conditions such as the presence/absence of trophic resources, temperature and relative humidity,
of the underground environment in which they were found. Results showed that the species of this
taxon are not as rare as previously reported and that their presence is mainly influenced by temperature,
relative humidity, trophic resources and the presence of two speleothems: rimstone dams and rafts. The
combination of our observations as well as data previously published highlights that the taxon can have
predatory and saprophagous feeding behavior depending on the availability of the food resources. This
work represents the starting point for a further investigation of the taxon

No full textRecupero e riqualificazione delle aree produttive in provincia di Treviso
Full text linkRecovery and Regeneration of Industrial Areas in the Treviso Province. In the future the reducing necessity of
industrial areas and the demand for a sustainable urban management - soil use - make more urgent the challenge of
recovery and regeneration of industrial areas in the province of Treviso, largely abandoned today and subject to ineffective
urban and regional planning models. A decision tool has been performed in order to manage political interventions by
classifying industrial areas in: suitable to expansion, not suitable to expansion and to recovery. For each of these classes
urban design addresses have been commented in a perspective of environmental sustainability
