The landscape and environment of Etruria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Etruria, homeland of the Etruscans, lies on the western coast of Italy to the north of Rome between the Tiber and the Arno rivers. This hilly region is defined by its low-lying coast and the rugged Apennine mountains to the north and east.

Grotta Romanelli (Southern Italy, Apulia). Legacies and issues in excavating a key site for the Pleistocene of the Mediterranean [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Grotta Romanelli, located on the Adriatic coast of southern Apulia (Italy), is considered a key site for the Mediterranean Pleistocene for its archaeological and palaeontological contents. The site, discovered in 1874, was re-evaluated only in 1900, when

Post‐Eocene 90° CCW Rotation of Sardinia‐South Corsica: Paleomagnetic Evidence From Permian‐Cretaceous Sediments of Nurra (NW Sardinia)

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The paleomagnetism of Miocene calc‐alkaline volcanics and sediments from Sardinia has firmly showed that the Corsica‐Sardinia microplate rotated 50°–60° counterclockwise (CCW) with respect to Europe between 21 and 15 Ma, during its drift from the Provencal margin. However, Permian to Eocene rocks from central‐south Sardinia revealed higher (up

Upper mantle velocity structure beneath Italy from direct and secondary P-wave teleseismic tomography

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 1997
High-quality teleseismic data digitally recorded by the National Seismic Network during 1988-1995 have been analysed to tomographically reconstruct the aspherical velocity structure of the upper mantle beneath the Italian region.

Endemic Mediterranean seagrasses poised to survive climate change challenges

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 3, April 2026.
Abstract Understanding the current and future trajectories of critical habitats is essential for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem management, especially in semi‐enclosed environments such as the Mediterranean Sea. Endemic habitats in the Mediterranean, such as Posidonia meadows, are crucial for marine biodiversity, nutrient cycling, oxygen ...

Evidence of Genetic Continuity in the Shortfin Mako Shark (Isurus oxyrinchus) Between the Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Genomic analyses of shortfin mako sharks from the Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea reveal a single genetically mixed population, indicating high connectivity across basins. Demographic reconstruction suggests historical stability, though recent declines may be beyond the resolution of our markers. These results underscore the need for coordinated

Gravity modelling of the Tyrrhenian-Calabrian-Ionian subduction system

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
This study provides a lithospheric-scale model along the Ionian Subduction zone in Southern Italy, contributing to the seismotectonic investigation of a region which is affected by relevant historical seismicity.

The Mediterranean deep-sea fauna: historical evolution, bathymetric variations and geographical changes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The deep-water fauna of the Mediterranean is characterized by an absence of distinctive characteristics and by a relative impoverishment. Both are a result of events after the Messinian salinity crisis (Late Miocene).

Modeling Benthic Animals in Space and Time Using Bayesian Point Process With Cross Validation: The Case of Holoturians

open access: yesEnvironmetrics, Volume 37, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Holothurian populations in the Mediterranean are relatively understudied, with limited knowledge of their spatial distribution, habitat preferences, and ecological dynamics, making their monitoring a key challenge for ecosystem assessment and sustainable management.
