We examined the relationship between coastal boulder production and the volcanic rock features on the high-energy rocky coast of Pantelleria Island (Sicily Channel, Mediterranean Sea). We used geological data for 125 boulders and 21 rupture surfaces, integrated with fracture analysis, radiocarbon dating, numerical hydrodynamic analysis, and hindcast numerical model for wave characterization. The boulder field consists of isola...
Archaeoseismic analysis performed in Western Sicily points to deformed archeological remains at Lilybaeum , a Punic coastal city founded in 397 B.C. at the Island’s westernmost edge. Starting from the direct observation of deformed ruins, an interdisciplinary work strategy, which included field-structural analysis, drone-shot high-resolution aerial photogrammetry, and geophysical prospecting, was employed to investigate whethe...
Cross masonry vaults are common structural elements in historical buildings. They are largely diffused in all European countries, including those characterized by higher levels of seismicity. Although they have been constructed for centuries, they represent some of the most vulnerable elements of traditional architecture, especially with reference to horizontal loads. The understanding of their structural behaviour under seism...
Natural and anthropogenic climate variability shape assemblages of range‐extending coral‐reef fishesNARA Subscribed
Aim Climate change is redistributing species globally, resulting in altered community structures and ecosystem functioning. The current paradigm is that species should track temperature isoclines along latitudinal and depth gradients to remain within their thermal niches. However, the many exceptions to this rule point to complex ecological and environmental processes often overlooked in statistical models predicting species r...
Dietary generalism accelerates arrival and persistence of coral‐reef fishes in their novel ranges under climate changeNARA Subscribed
Climate change is redistributing marine and terrestrial species globally. Life‐history traits mediate the ability of species to cope with novel environmental conditions, and can be used to gauge the potential redistribution of taxa facing the challenges of a changing climate. However, it is unclear whether the same traits are important across different stages of range shifts (arrival, population increase, persistence). To test...
Cognitive swarming in complex environments with attractor dynamics and oscillatory computingNARA Subscribed
Neurobiological theories of spatial cognition developed with respect to recording data from relatively small and/or simplistic environments compared to animals’ natural habitats. It has been unclear how to extend theoretical models to large or complex spaces. Complementarily, in autonomous systems technology, applications have been growing for distributed control methods that scale to large numbers of low-footprint mobile plat...
