Biogeography, Systematics, and Ecomorphology of Pacific Island Anoles

open access: yesDiversity, 2019
Anoles are regarded as important models for understanding dynamic processes in ecology and evolution. Most work on this group has focused on species in the Caribbean Sea, and recently in mainland South and Central America.

The building materials of “Rocca Vecchia” (Old Fortress) in the Gorgona Island

open access: yes, 2022
The research examines the building materials of the ancient fortress known as Rocca Vecchia, in the Gorgona Island, built by the Republic of Pisa and commonly dated to the 13th century. Particular attention is paid to the composition of the artificial stone materials (bricks, bedding mortars, plasters and renders) in order to better understand and ...

Scientific note: varroa mite eradication, the strange case of Gorgona Island [PDF]

open access: yesApidologie, 2015
Varroa mites are vectors for several bee viruses contributing also to their diffusion worldwide (Martin 2001; Di Prisco et al. 2011; Cersini et al. 2013). The tripartite relationship among bees, mites, and viruses is thought to be responsible for the loss of a large amount of colonies (Highfield et al. 2009; Berthoud et al. 2010; Francis et al.

The hydroclimatology of Gorgona Island: seasonal and ENSO-related Patternsa

open access: yesActualidades Biológicas, 2012
Most small watersheds in the Tropical Eastern Pacific remain ungauged, and discharge analyses using gauge and simulated data have been published only for a few large rivers. I analyzed a 20-yr record of rainfall and stream discharge from Gorgona Island, a natural national park located 30 km offshore in the Pacific Ocean of Colombia to explore intra ...

Shell-size variation of Notoacmea biradiata (Archaeogastropoda: Acmaeidae) as a response to gastropod density and height in shore in the Colombian Pacific coast

open access: yesCiencias Marinas, 2002
Notoacmea biradiata (Reeve, 1855) is an abundant intertidal limpet on the rocky shore of the Colombian Pacific coast. This paper reports a field factorial experiment on shell-size variation of N.

Assessing the context‐dependence of invasiveness in the Italian wall lizard (Podarcis siculus)

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.
Although the Italian wall lizard (Podarcis siculus) is widely considered fully invasive, our study on Gorgona Island shows its spread is largely confined to human‐altered habitats. Native common wall lizards (P. muralis) persist in natural areas, indicating that Italian wall lizard invasiveness is context‐dependent and mediated by human‐altered ...

A Possible Tsunamigenic Near‐Trench Strike‐Slip Fault, Offshore North Ecuador–South Colombia

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Seismic reflection and bathymetry collected along the Ecuador–Colombia obliquely convergent margin allow the first characterization of the NNE‐trending, near‐trench strike‐slip Ancon Fault in the possible source region of the 1906‐Mw8.6–8.8 and 1979‐Mw8.2 earthquakes, which produced devastating tsunamis.

Role of Magma Ocean Differentiation in the Formation and Long‐Term Preservation of Distinct Geochemical Domains Within the Deep Mantle

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract We modeled the evolution of the terrestrial Magma Ocean using the short‐lived 182Hf‐182W isotope system (t1/2 = 8.9 Myr) in a multi‐reservoir early Earth. We start with a chondritic Earth at T0 = 4.567 Ga. Core segregates and attains its present‐day mass, W elemental and isotopic (182W/184W) composition by the end of core formation (TCF).
