Information on the life history of European cave salamanders remains limited. Despite a handful of studies carried out both under natural and controlled conditions, one of the least known aspects concerns the reproductive and breeding behaviour. Here we present information on the breeding behaviour of all the eight European Hydromantes species coll...

Of the eight species of European cave salamander belonging to the genus Speleomantes, five are endemic of Sardinia. We have limited data on the ecology and the ethology of these species, particularly on their reproductive biology. Only during the last two years, for the species S. imperialis, it was possible to document the breeding behaviour of tw...

I geotritoni sono degli anfibi caudati della famiglia dei Pletodontidi che appartengono al genere Hydromantes, presenti in tutti il mondo con 11 specie, di cui 5 endemiche della Sardegna (sottogenere Speleomantes). Vivono all’interno di grotte e cavità rocciose ricche di anfratti, oppure sotto pietre, in zone caratterizzate da elevata umidità e ass...

During the dry season, the European Plethodontid salamanders (genus Hydromantes) usually occupy underground environments (i.e. caves), where they can find cold temperatures and high moisture. Hydromantes breed in hypogean environments, where they usually lay eggs in hidden shelters. Mothers perform a long-lasting parental care of the eggs, which al...

The small spotted dogfish Scyliorhinus canicula and the blackmouth dogfish Galeus melastomus, whose depth distributions overlap in the upper part of the slope (c. 500 m depth), where they have access to the same prey community, have well-developed eyes and a pure-rod retina with a single layer of photoreceptors. Interspecific differences in rod out...

Mitochondrial DNA sequencing was used to identify and distinguish four species of commercially important Mediterranean grey mullets. Partial cytochrome b and D-loop sequences were obtained from the four fish species, and these were used to perform phylogenetic analysis and to determine species-specific DNA fingerprints. Species-specific amplificati...
Article
The effects of two distinct patterns of light stimulus, steady and flicker, on cone photomechanical movements (PMMs) in the Xenopus laevis retina were investigated. For both patterns studied, the effects on PMMs were assessed by quantitative analysis of the cone positions in the outer retina. Steady light adaptation was found to be equally effectiv...
Article
Fungal air spores can play a significant role in several allergic manifestations. Therefore, the identification of geographic areas of mould distribution could be helpful to the clinician, especially if associated with fungal air spore recording in homes or working environments of sensitized subjects, in determining the real clinical importance of...
