Letras Univ. Porto. pp. 408 - 424 THE DEADLY AVALANCHE OF RIGOPIANO (ITALY): EVIDENCES OF A CONSTRUCTED LOCAL SCALE DISASTER Fantina TEDIM Faculty of Arts, University of Porto, Portugal Charles Darwin University, Australia [email protected] Vittorio LEONE Forestry and Environmental Sciences University of Basilicata, Italy(retired) [email protected] Abstract In a context of enhancing development, namely using natural resources and amenities to attract investments and create jobs, local interests can undervalue the natural risks. Our work demonstrates how local decisions and private, and political issues can interplay increasing risks and converge in creating a small-scale disaster. On January 18 th 2017, an avalanche of size 5 (200,000 m 3) buried under 4 meters of snow the Rigopiano Hotel, in the National Park of Gran Sasso and Maiella, in Italy. In this four-star resort, 38 people were blocked inside when the avalanche hit. Two people, who fortuitously escaped the avalanche because they were outside the hotel, contacted the Operational Center for Emergency. Rescue activities started after some hours of misunderstanding about alarm truthfulness. After some days of frantic efforts, carried out 24h/24 by up to 330 people, 9 people were pulled out alive and in good conditions, whereas 29 victims were pulled from wreckage. Our research demonstrates how the coincidence of structural and contingent factors of natural and human origin converged into a disaster. -

Strongylid Nematodes Shared Between Domestic and Wild Ruminants In
STRONGYLID NEMATODES SHARED BETWEEN DOMESTIC AND WILD RUMINANTS IN MAIELLA NATIONAL PARK (ABRUZZO REGION - CENTRAL ITALY) B PAOLETTI1, S ANGELUCCI2, S MORELLI1, C SMOGLICA1, A BARLAAM1, A DI CESARE1 1Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Teramo, 64100 Italy; 2Maiella National Park, Via del Vivaio snc, 65023 Caramanico Terme, Italy Keywords - Strongyles, Ruminants, Maiella National Park, Central Italy INTRODUCTION. Strongylid nematodes (SN) are recognized as a major constraint to livestock production. The control of SN relies heavily on the use of chemotherapeutics; as a consequence, anthelminthic resistance (AR) is increasing (Barone et al., 2020). It is known that wild ruminants are competent hosts of a number of SN that typically infect livestock and it is assumed that they could also act as reservoirs in the translocation of anthelmintic resistance (Chintoan-Uta et al., 2014). This risk is heightened where the pasture of domestic and wild ruminants overlaps. The aim of the present study was to obtain novel information on the distribution of SN in sheep and wild ruminants (i.e., red deer, chamois) sharing the same pasture in the Maiella National Park. MATERIALS AND METHODS. In 2019, a total of 20 faecal pool samples were collected from sheep (n. 7) and wild ruminants (n. 13) (Figures 1, 2, 3) that shared the same pasture in the highlands of the Maiella National Park (Abruzzo region, central Italy). The samples were examined by a classic copromicroscopic technique (Euzeby, 1981). Gastrointestinal strongyle (GIS) positive pools were subjected to coprocolture (MAFF, 1986) (Figure 4). L3s were morphologically and molecularly identified (Gasser et al., 1993; van Wyk et al., 2013). -

Ecology and Society 25 (4):46. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-11996-250446 Research Toward the development of sustainable ecotourism in Italian national parks of the Apennines: insights from hiking guides Stefano Poponi 1, Jordan Palli 2, Sonia Ferrari 3, Goffredo Filibeck 2, T'ai G. W. Forte 4, Cinzia Franceschini 2, Alessandro Ruggieri 5 and Gianluca Piovesan 2 ABSTRACT. National parks in mountain areas are biodiversity hotspots in which implementing the sustainability goals of Agenda 2030 is particularly urgent. Ecotourism provides an opportunity to convey bio-ecological and economic sustainability principles to the public, focusing on nature conservation and a reduction of the negative impacts of tourism. We investigated four national parks in the Apennines, Italy using the insights of hiking guides with park accreditation to assess sustainability issues. Multivariate analyses of questionnaires revealed that most of the interviewed hiking guides across the Apennines were sensitive toward the theme of sustainability. Limiting the ecological footprint of tourism was identified as the main challenge. Interesting feedback on management issues was given by hiking guides, indicating innovations such as food, waste-disposal management, accommodation, and transport as critical areas with the potential to impact sustainable development. Certification schemes were also recognized as an important tool with which to encourage ecologically responsible tourism. -

Morphological Variability of Cordulegaster Trinacriae in Italy 1St December 2019175
Morphological variability of Cordulegaster trinacriae in Italy 1st December 2019175 Morphological variability of Cordulegaster trinacriae in Italy (Odonata: Cordulegastridae) Andrea Corso MISC – Via Camastra, 10, 96100 Siracusa, Italy; <[email protected]> Received 15th July 2019; revised and accepted 10th September 2019 Abstract. This paper describes the most helpful features for field identification C.of trinacri ae and the relevant morphological variability encountered. In C. trinacriae the yellow frons was without a dark horizontal marking in about 70 % of the sample or showed a barely pat- terned frons, while the remaining 30 % showed a more or less defined dark smudge, though always narrower and less bold than in C. boltonii. The percentage of unmarkedversus marked frons was similar throughout the distributional range of C. trinacriae except in Sicily, where the unmarked yellow frons was much more common (87 %) and in Campania, where in- dividuals with a dark mark on the frons were slightly more common than unmarked ones. In C. trinacriae the occipital triangle was almost always yellow with no or almost no dark markings, cleaner, and purer yellow than in C. boltonii from central Italy. The appendages of C. trinacriae always showed the characteristic form except for a few individuals, which might be hybrids. In C. boltonii they were found to be rather variable, especially on individuals from the southern part of its distributional range in central Italy, where intermediates and hybrids occur. Here, the appendages were sometimes similar (but not identical) to C. trinacriae, and therefore, this character is considered of limited use in the field. Individuals of C. -
