Dataset of Contamination (2009–2022) Legacy Contaminants (PCB and DDT) in Zooplankton of Lake Maggiore (CIPAIS, International Commission for the Protection of Italian-Swiss Waters)

Data, 2023
In this paper, we describe a 13-year (2009–2022) dataset of legacy POP concentrations (DDTtot and sumPCB14 from 2016 isomers and congeners concentrations are also reported) in the planktonic crustaceans of Lake Maggiore (≥450 µm size fraction).

When invasions go unnoticed: Public perception of the freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii in Europe

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1957-1973, June 2026.
Abstract Biological invasions are a major driver of biodiversity loss, yet inconspicuous or “cryptic” species often escape detection and public awareness, limiting management responses. We investigated the freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii, likely native to China and now present on six continents, through a 22‐month multilingual online survey

Diphyllobothrium latum (Cestoda: Diphyllobothriidea) in perch (Perca fluviatilis) in three sub-alpine lakes: influence of biotic and abiotic factors on prevalence

Journal of Limnology, 2009
In recent years, human diphyllobothriosis has staged a comeback in Swiss, French and Italian sub-alpine regions. The main putative infective source of the causative agent (the tapeworm Diphyllobothrium latum) in these areas is perch (Perca fluviatilis ...

Species delimitation among Primula hirsuta and related taxa (Primulaceae) confirms the existence of cryptic species in the Europeans Alps

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Primula sect. Auricula is the largest plant clade endemic to Western European mountains and hence an important model to study speciation in mountain plants. Within this section, a clade of closely related and largely cryptic taxa, with P. hirsuta and P. pedemontana as its most prominent members, has remained taxonomically challenging. New taxa
