    PARMA MANUFACTURERS’ ASSOCIATION www.upi.pr.it Parma and its enterprises October 2020 1 Preface Parma Manufacturers’ Association is pleased to offer this study whose purpose is to provide an up-to-date source of information for public and private institutions and organizations specifically interested in issues and questions related to industrial development in our province. More specifically, the aim of “Parma e le sue imprese” (Parma and its Enterprises) is to provide an overview of industrial activity in our province, focusing on the wide variety of manufacturing and service sectors and the specialized activity thereof. In fact, even if the core of Parma’s manufacturing tradition is to be found in the production and processing of agricultural products –Parma ham and parmesan cheese that have made it known around the world are good examples of this – there are many other sectors, some connected to this core activity and others not, which have contributed to make our productive capacity one of the most important in Italy today, fully capable of meeting the needs of our modern world and an increasingly globally-oriented future. Special thanks go to the Studies and Research Department for their tireless efforts in the preparation of this study.

  • Diversity of Freshwater Ostracods (Crustacea, Ostracoda) in Marginal Habitats of the Province of Parma (Northern Italy)
    J. Limnol., 65(2): 121-131, 2006 Small is beautiful: diversity of freshwater ostracods (Crustacea, Ostracoda) in marginal habitats of the province of Parma (Northern Italy) Giampaolo ROSSETTI*, Koen MARTENS1), Claude MEISCH2), Stefano TAVERNELLI and Valentina PIERI Department of Environmental Sciences, University of Parma, Viale G.P. Usberti 33A, 43100 Parma, Italy 1)Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Freshwater Biology, Vautierstraat 29, 1000 Brussels, Belgium 2)Musée d'Histoire Naturelle, 25 rue Münster, 2160 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg *e-mail corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT A study on the distribution of ostracods in small freshwater habitats of the province of Parma was conducted from May 2004 to December 2005. Vernal pools, ponds, shallow lakes, fountains, springs, ditches, canals, and streams were among the most common types of aquatic systems included in this survey. Altogether, 90 sites located between 24 and 1557 m a.s.l. were visited, and 125 samples were collected. 41 samples did not contain ostracods, and 7 samples were not considered because only immature specimens or empty valves were found. Consequently, 77 samples from 58 sites were analysed. Whenever possible, ostracod identification was done at the species level based on the morphology of both valves and limbs. Thirty-eight taxa from 20 genera belonging to the families Candonidae, Ilyocyprididae, Cyprididae, and Notodromadidae were recorded. This roughly accounts for one-third of the estimated number of non-marine ostracod species in Italy. Scanning electron microscopy images of valves are provided. The maximum number of species per site was six. The most frequent species were Heterocypris incongruens, Eucypris virens, Pseudocandona pratensis, Cypria ophthalmica, and Tonnacypris lutaria.
