BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH Antonio Carapelli graduated in Biological Sciences at the Department of Evolutionary Biology at the University of Siena (1992) with a thesis that applied the "gene-enzyme systems technique” for the systematic study of the genus Orchesella (Hexapoda, Collembola). In 1996, he received from the University of Siena, the title of Doctor of Philosophy in Animal Biology (Zoology - VIII cycle), with a thesis that applied morphological, enzymatic and molecular techniques for the study of the systematic of the genus Isotomurus (Hexapoda, Collembola). During the training period of his PhD, Curriculum Vitae Antonio Carapelli he has spent about a month at the Centre for Ecology and Biosystematics of Mediterranean of Marseille dealing with the taxonomic revision of cryptic species belonging to the genus Isotomurus. Within the same project has established partnerships with European researchers performing several sampling of such species, collecting populations in Italian, Danish, French and Swiss localities. At the end of this research period he has published a scientific paper based on the taxonomic revision of 14 European species of the genus Isotomurus and, others papers focused on the genetics of populations of the species of this genus. The technique of electrophoresis allozymes has also been used by Dr. Carapelli to conduct studies of genetics of populations for other springtails species. Since 1996, the undersigned has undertaken a project focused on the study of the phylogeny of basal hexapods (Apterygota) using molecular markers, mitochondrial and nuclear, amplified by PCR technique. Initially, the project was held at the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology of the University of Connecticut (USA), where Dr. Antonio Carapelli has spent ten months of studies, collaborating with Prof. Chris Simon and other US researchers in the analysis of DNA sequences related to 12S rDNA and Elongation Factor 1-α genes. The results obtained have allowed the publication of scientific papers related to the molecular phylogenetic study of basal hexapod orders (Collembola, Protura, Diplura, Microcoryphia and Zygentoma) and on the reconstruction of the secondary structure of the gene fragment encoding the domain III of the mitochondrial 12S ribosomal subunit rRNA in some species of the order Collembola. The project aimed to establish the phylogenetic relationships among the basal hexapod has been enriched by the analysis of nucleotide sequences belonging to entire mitochondrial genomes. In fact, thanks to the collaboration with Prof. Jeffrey L. Boore, the research group to which belongs Dr. Antonio Carapelli has applied the technique of "shotgun sequencing" for sequencing the mitochondrial genomes of some species of Apterygota, for the reconstruction of the phylogenetic relationships existing among the most primitive of the basal hexapod lineages. The undersigned has thus participated to the sequencing of 15 complete mitochondrial genomes in key groups including orders: Collembola, Protura, Diplura, Microcoryphia and Zygentoma (and other groups of arthropods). The sequences obtained have allowed the publication of several works focused on the study of the molecular evolution of the mitochondrial genome in groups of basal hexapod and on the phylogenetic reconstruction of the main evolutionary lineages of "Apterygota". The use of nuclear and mitochondrial markers has also allowed Dr. A. Carapelli to study the molecular evolution and the phylogeography of populations of species of holometabolous insects, such as olive fruit fly (olive fly) and Xenos vesparum. Also, for the olive fly it was analyzed the resistance to treatment with insecticides. Interest in the Antarctic species of springtails allowed the established of an active collaboration Curriculum Vitae Antonio Carapelli with colleagues from the British Antarctic Survey, with which Dr. A. Carapelli conducted sampling at different sites in the Antarctic Peninsula (2002-03). Later (2004-05), the undersigned has also been able to complete the sampling of Antarctic species by collecting more than 30 populations of springtails in Victoria Land, (at the Italian base "Mario Zucchelli"). Using these samples it was possible to publish several scientific papers focused on population genetics and biogeography of Antarctic springtails, and on the study of the molecular features of the mitochondrial genome. Another research line, which was recently undertaken by myself, focused on a project that dealed with the identification, by molecular techniques (DNA barcoding), of fish species of commercial interest. For these studies, it was defined a protocol able to draw the correct correspondence between the species marketed, and the scientific name for the label.
