Based on the evaluation of 3,902 local floristic references published between 2005 and 2025, an update to the floristic knowledge map of Italy is presented. To measure the progress in floristic knowledge across Italy’s administrative regions, the ‘Index of Floristic Knowledge Advancement’ (IFA) is proposed here. This index categorizes regions based on the proportion of potential improvement that has actually been achieved. Res...
Age determination, growth and otolith shape analysis of Lepidotrigla cavillone from Sardinian and Sicilian waters ( Mediterranean Sea )NARA Subscribed
The large‐scaled gurnard Lepidotrigla cavillone (Lacepède, 1801) is heavily affected by trawl fisheries targeting more economically valuable species. This species plays a key role in the food web and its potential collapse could negatively affect commercially exploited species. To date, few studies have attempted to provide needed life‐history information for this species' stock status evaluation. With this in mind, we collect...
Blurred Lines Between Determinism and Stochasticity in an Amphibian Phylosymbiosis Under Pathogen InfectionNARA Subscribed
Selection, dispersal and drift jointly contribute to generating variation in microbial composition within and between hosts, habitats and ecosystems. However, we have limited examples of how these processes interact as hosts and their microbes turn over across latitudinal gradients of biodiversity and climate. To bridge this gap, we assembled an extensive dataset of 580 skin bacteriomes from 22 amphibian species distributed ac...
A semi-empirical model for thermal decomposition of carbonates and its application to astrobiologyNARA Subscribed
We review the basis of a semi-empirical model of carbonate decomposition developed by the authors, shortly discussing numerous previous theories. Then, the model is applied to the modeling of a scenario of matter transport from space to the surface of planets embedded into sub-mm mineral grains, with the correction of the so-called additional enthalpy, coming from the experiments. Having magnesium and calcium carbonates as min...
Anthropogenic impacts on coastal habitats can result in alterations of diversity parameters in marine invertebrate assemblages. Macroalgae beds are highly susceptible to human‐induced disturbances, supporting a great diversity of molluscan species and being ecologically important for coastal ecosystems. This study investigates the diversity alterations on Sargassum ‐associated molluscan assemblages from areas with different di...
Endothelial cells require functional FLVCR1a during developmental and adult angiogenesisNARA Subscribed
The Feline Leukemia Virus Subgroup C Receptor 1a (FLVCR1a) is a transmembrane heme exporter essential for embryonic vascular development. However, the exact role of FLVCR1a during blood vessel development remains largely undefined. Here, we show that FLVCR1a is highly expressed in angiogenic endothelial cells (ECs) compared to quiescent ECs. Consistently, ECs lacking FLVCR1a give rise to structurally and functionally abnormal...
Method evaluation and risk assessment: A framework for evaluating management strategies for data‐limited fisheriesNARA Subscribed
Fisheries managers are in need of quantitative tools to inform decisions regarding selection of robust management practices, prioritising research gaps and stocks to focus on, particularly where there are limited resources or data. To support these decisions, the use of Management Strategy Evaluation (MSE), that is, closed loop simulation‐testing of management procedures, is widely regarded as best practice. However, applying...
Identifying soil-plant interactions in a mixed-age orange orchard using electrical resistivity imagingNARA Subscribed
Background and aims The ever-increasing demand of fresh water from irrigated agriculture and the water scarcity condition that characterizes the Mediterranean region, encourages the adoption of efficient water saving strategies. In this study, the electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) technique was applied for characterizing the mass exchange mechanisms affecting the continuous soil-plant system of heterogeneous micro-irrigated...
Submarine hydrothermal systems along active volcanic ridges and arcs are highly dynamic, responding to both oceanographic (e.g., currents, tides) and deep-seated geological forcing (e.g., magma eruption, seismicity, hydrothermalism, and crustal deformation, etc.). In particular, volcanic and hydrothermal activity may also pose profoundly negative societal impacts (tsunamis, the release of climate-relevant gases and toxic metal...
