The abundance of cave beetles increases with depth, with Duvalius hartigi exhibiting maximum densities at greater depths in volcanic systems. Troglomorphic traits become more pronounced with increasing depth exclusively in the alpine species Duvalius carantii.

Extensional neotectonics around the bend of the Western/Central Alps: an overview [PDF]
The Western Alps' active tectonics is characterized by ongoing widespread extension in the highest parts of the belt and transpressive/compressive tectonics along its borders.

Seismotectonics of the Padanian region and surrounding belts: which driving mechanism? [PDF]
It is argued that the complex tectonic pattern observed in the study area can plausibly be explained as an effect of the kinematics of the Iberia and Adria blocks, induced by the NNE ward motion of Africa and the roughly westward motion of the ...

A Classification of High‐Risk Atmospheric Circulation Patterns for Italian Precipitation Extremes
By applying Self‐Organising Maps, we develop a comprehensive classification of the weather types associated with November 1984 to October 2024 extreme precipitation events in Italy. We identify six different weather types associated with different large‐scale dynamical drivers. Their relevance for different areas is evaluated, and their seasonality and

Early Permian Pangea 'B' to Late Permian Pangea 'A" [PDF]
The pre-drift Wegenerian model of Pangea is almost universally accepted, but debate exists on its pre-Jurassic configuration since Ted Irving introduced Pangea 'B' by placing Gondwana farther to the east by ∼3000 km with respect to Laurasia on the basis ...

This paper presents a new protocol for the laboratory preparation of archaeological samples. Ceramics that have been hand‐crafted using different sediments as raw materials were collected in a Roman Villa sited in Fiumana (FC), Italy. This method aims at concentrating and analysing heavy minerals in the 15–250 μm grain size fraction, studying the ...

In the Miocene of the northern Apennines, a widespread carbonate precipitation was induced by the expulsion of methane‐rich fluids. Numerous outcrops of carbonate masses share sedimentological, textural and geochemical features with present‐day gas hydrate‐associated carbonates.

Pre-Orogenic Tectonostratigraphic Evolution of the European Distal Margin-Alpine Tethys Transition Zone in High-Pressure Units of the Southwestern Alps [PDF]
Geological mapping, stratigraphic observations, and U/Pb dating allow reconstructing the pre-orogenic setting of the transition zone between the distal European passive margin and the Alpine Tethys in the southwestern Alps.

Volcaniclastites as a key for geodynamic constraints in the evolution of the central-western Mediterranean region: an overview [PDF]
In the central-western peri-Mediterranean chains, a consistent latest Chattian-Langhian orogenic calc-alkaline magmatism generated a high amount of volcaniclastites interbedded within penecontemporaneous marine successions.

Role of the Down-Bending Plate as a Detrital Source in Convergent Systems Revealed by U–Pb Dating of Zircon Grains: Insights from the Southern Andes and Western Italian Alps [PDF]
In convergent zones, several parts of the geodynamic system (e.g., continental margins, back-arc regions) can be deformed, uplifted, and eroded through time, each of them potentially delivering clastic sediments to neighboring basins. Tectonically driven
