Climatic and anthropogenic factors explain the variability of Fagus sylvatica treeline elevation in fifteen mountain groups across the Apennines

Forest Ecosystems, 2020
Background Fagus sylvatica forms the treeline across the Apennines mountain range, with an average elevation of 1589 m a.s.l. Previous studies evidenced that the current position of the treeline in the Apennines is heavily depressed as a result of a ...

Banking Development and the Economic Impact of Natural Disasters: From Short to Long Term Effects

Journal of Regional Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates how financial development and local banking structures shape the economic resilience of communities in the aftermath of natural disasters. Focusing on Italian municipalities hit by earthquakes between 2008 and 2022, we explore the role of banking presence, particularly cooperative banks, in supporting recovery.

Combining ensemble models and connectivity analyses to predict wolf expected dispersal routes through a lowland corridor.

PLoS ONE, 2020
The Italian wolf (Canis lupus italicus) population has remained isolated South of the Alps for the last few thousand years. After a strong decline, the species has recolonized the Apennines and the Western Alps, while it is currently struggling to ...

Afforestation priority for multiple objectives at national scale: Italy as a case study

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Afforestation is increasingly recognized as a key strategy to address climate change and ecological degradation, offering multiple ecosystem services. However, strategic planning is needed to ensure that afforestation actions are ecologically effective and economically efficient by targeting areas where ecosystem service provision

Minimum 1D velocity models in Central and Southern Italy: a contribution to better constrain hypocentral determinations

Annals of Geophysics, 1997
We computed one-dimensional ( I D) velocity models and station corrections for Centrai and Southern Italy, in- verting re-picked P-wave alTival times recorded by the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica seismic network.

Evolution of Crematogaster sordidula (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) Ants in the Mediterranean Region During Plio‐Pleistocene Climatic Changes

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding insect responses to global climate change involves identifying strategies used during past climate oscillations. Phylogeography offers a powerful framework to unravel how historical climatic and geological events have shaped the spatial genetic patterns of species, providing critical insights into evolutionary processes, whereas ...

Phylogeny and Species Delimitation in the Land Snail Genus Chilostoma (Gastropoda: Helicidae) and East–West Alpine Disjunctions

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chilostoma includes large, mostly rock‐dwelling snail species, widespread in the European Alps and the Apennines in Italy. We analysed the phylogenetic relationships and the species delimitation of the Chilostoma (Chilostoma) species based on genomic ddRAD loci. The Chilostoma (Chilostoma) taxa form three sister pairs. Chilostoma achates and C.
