Come da tradizione i Congressi UZI sono organizzati in Simposi che affrontano temi differenti, sempre interconnessi tra loro e legati da una lettura integrata delle numerose e diversificate attività di ricerca dei Soci UZI. I Simposi di questo 80° Congresso sono quattro, ognuno dei quali si aprirà con almeno una plenary lecture. Il tema del I Simposio “Biologia dello Sviluppo e della Cellula” riguarda un ampio spettro di discipline che vanno dalla classica biologia dello sviluppo animale allo studio dei processi cellulari di base affrontati con un approccio integrato, evolutivo, comparato e molecolare. Il tema del II Simposio è: “La Fauna in Italia”, a dimostrazione dell’importanza che l’UZI ha da sempre attribuito ai problemi legati alla conservazione del patrimonio faunistico italiano, analizzati a diversi livelli. Al termine del Simposio ci sarà una rievocazione dei 150 anni della Società Entomologica Italiana. Non a caso l’intero Simposio è dedicato ad Augusto Vigna Taglianti, zoologo di fama internazionale recentemente scomparso. Il Simposio III, “Zoologia Applicata”, raccoglie le esperienze applicative di gruppi di ricerca diversi. Il tema del Simposio IV è rivolto all’analisi delle possibili relazioni tra “Filogenesi, Biogeografia e Sistematica”, ricordando che siamo a 160 anni dalla scomparsa di von Humboldt, insigne naturalista, esploratore e geografo. Con la Tavola Rotonda “La fauna delle acque interne tra crisi della biodiversità, nuovi strumenti conoscitivi e primi consuntivi delle misure di gestione” si affronta un problema di grande attualità, legato all’uso della risorsa acqua. Pagina 2 ROMA, 23 - 26 Settembre 2019 In conclusione, nell’ambito del Congresso, che prevede oltre 150 partecipanti, ascolteremo complessivamente 43 comunicazioni e verranno esposti 65 poster, di cui 25 concorrono all’assegnazione dei diversi premi offerti dall’ Unione Zoologica Italiana, dal Comitato Scientifico per la Fauna d’Italia, dalla UTET e dall’Istituto Euro- mediterraneo di Scienza e Tecnologia. Come sempre, il Congresso annuale UZI costituisce un’occasione importante di incontro tra diverse generazioni di studiosi della Biologia Animale, con esperienze scientifiche differenti. Desideriamo ringraziare l’Accademia Nazionale Italiana di Entomologia, la Società Entomologica Italiana, la Federazione Italiana di Scienze della Natura e dell’Ambiente, l’Istituto Euro-mediterraneo di Scienza e Tecnologia, l’Università Roma Tre, la Sapienza Università di Roma e l’Università di Roma Tor Vergata per il loro patrocinio e i due sponsor, Reborn e Zeiss. Auguriamo a tutti un soggiorno piacevole e una partecipazione fruttuosa all’80° Congresso dell’Unione Zoologica Italiana.

Although the DNA has an informational role the C value has not ever had a clear relationship to the complexity of the organism or the number of coding genes. This apparent anomaly was called “C value paradox” or more recently “C value enigma. The more important cause of genome expansion is the repetitive DNA, especially the transposons. A very interesting correlation was found between the environmental stress and the activity of transposons. During vertebrate evolution several periods were characterized by environmental stress accompanied by strong reorganization of karyotype and by genome expansion as in the transition from the aquatic to terrestrial environment. During Carboniferous the genome of the Dipnoans showed a very great expansion from 2.5 to more than 100 picograms. This increase due to a rapid amplification of LTR transposons was accompanied by a progressive evolutionary decline and was possibly caused by drastic environmental changes. Great increases of the genome were also found in amphibians, especially in the three lissamphibian orders that differ in the genome sizes. It has been hypothesized that during Permian the amphibian genome had a first gradual expansion leading to the actual maximum levels found in frogs, afterwards during the Triassic a second great increase happened leading to the very large genome size found in Urodeles. An analysis of genome composition suggests that this second increase could be due to a rapid amplification of only one or few transposons families according to a mechanism remembering the saltatory evolution. Also in this class the transposons amplification and the resulting genome expansion would be due to environmental stress. The transposons activity has often a deleterious effects to the host genome. In the dipnoans a large increase in genome size had a retarding effect on the evolution.

This work shows for the first time that explants of the At- lanto-Mediterranean demosponge Aplysina aerophoba reared in aquaria under different pH and temperature conditions produce reproductive buds with a phenotype determined by the donor individual. These results suggest, therefore, that genotype may be an important factor controlling different phenotypes in this species.

    CURCULIO A NEWSLETTER DEVOTED TO DISSEMINATION OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT CURCULIONOIDEA NO. 41 - MARCH 1997 CANADIAN MUSEUM OF NATURE P.O. BOX 3443, STATION D EDITED BY OTTAWA, ON. K1P 6P4 ROBERT S. ANDERSON CANADA Mike Morris (retired) September 1992, Poland CURCULIO EDITORIAL COMMENTS Yes, this number of CURCULIO is late. It should have been prepared and sent out in September of 1996, but our museum has been going through a move to new facilities and things have been in turmoil. We are now settled in and most services are up and running again. The collections, which were packed away for the move, are also now accessible again. Seems that things went quite well and in fact our Entomology section fared quite well as the move into our new facilities resulted in a great deal more space than we already had. We’re now getting the laboratories prepared and should be back to full speed in the near future. Our mailing address has not changed! On another note, congratulations are in order for Rolf Oberprieler who has accepted the weevil systematics position at CSIRO in Canberra, Australia. This will be a great new challenge for Rolf and one in which we can all be sure he will fare admirably. The Australian weevil fauna is exceptionally diverse and interesting and with the recent books by Elwood Zimmerman, a great base has been set for further and more detailed work on the fauna. I understand Rolf will be there sometime this summer. Now all he has to do is master ‘G’Day’ and ‘mate’ and he’ll have it made! Best wishes to Rolf and his family.

Marine rare actinomycetes represent a rather untapped source of chemically diverse secondary metabolites and novel bioactive compounds. In this review, we aim to summarize the present knowledge on the isolation, diversity, distribution and natural product discovery of marine rare actinomycetes reported from mid-2013 to 2017. A total of 97 new species, representing 9 novel genera and belonging to 27 families of marine rare actinomycetes have been reported, with the highest numbers of novel isolates from the families Pseudonocardiaceae, Demequinaceae, Micromonosporaceae and Nocardioidaceae. Additionally, this study reviewed 167 new bioactive compounds produced by 58 different rare actinomycete species representing 24 genera. Most of the compounds produced by the marine rare actinomycetes present antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, anticancer or antimalarial activities. The highest numbers of natural products were derived from the genera Nocardiopsis, Micromonospora, Salinispora and Pseudonocardia. Members of the genus Micromonospora were revealed to be the richest source of chemically diverse and unique bioactive natural products.

This is achieved using a phylogenetic approach incorporating the largest datamatrix yet employed for weevil molecular systematics, and includes an investigation into the prospect of obtaining short phylogenetically informative amplicons from archival museum specimens. Newly obtained DNA sequence data is analysed from a variety of mitochondrial and nuclear loci, including 92 mitogenomes assembled through the approach of next-generation sequencing of pooled genomic DNA. The resulting trees are used to test previous morphological- and molecular-based hypotheses of weevil relationships and classification schemes. Mitogenomic-derived trees reveal topologies that are highly congruent with previous molecular studies, but that conflict with some morphological hypotheses. Strong nodal support strengthens inferences into the relationships amongst most weevil families and suggests that the largest family, the Curculionidae, is monophyletic, if the subfamily Platypodinae is excluded.
