Bibliografia Naturalistico-Biologica Delle Isole Eolie BIOLOGICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE AEOLIAN ISLANDS (last update: January 2017) compiled by Pietro Lo Cascio www.nesos.org BIOLOGICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE AEOLIAN ISLANDS Introduction and explanatory notes Since the second half of 18th century, the Aeolian Archipelago has been visited and studied by a large number of biologists and naturalists, who explored and described the flora and the fauna of the islands and the surrounding seas. The knowledge gained during more than two centuries of investigations are scattered in a wide literature, not always easily accessible or traceable. The Biological Bibliography of the Aeolian Islands aims to give an useful tool for students, scientists, environmentalists, managers and planners of protected areas, but also for people that simply want to have an approach as comprehensive as possible on the current knowledge of the biological heritage of the archipelago. It is periodically updated and is available for free. The BBAI version 2017 includes on the whole 1678 references of scientific and popular publications that concern (or contain data and information on) the biological diversity of the archipelago and related topics. Unpublished contributions (such as PhD dissertation, thesis, technical reports and documents, etc.) have not been taken in consideration. The BBAI has been divided into four sections: 1) terrestrial biodiversity, including inland waters [pp. 3-114]; 2) marine environment & microbiological diversity [pp. 115-164]; 3) past biodiversity (paleontology, archaeobotany & archaeozoology) [pp. 165-170]; 4) agronomy & agrobiodiversity [pp. 171-177]. Within each section, the different fields are evidenced through some symbols (explained at the beginning of the section). In the list, the contributions written by one or two authors follow an alphabetical order, while those with more authors follow a chronological order. Most part of the titles listed in the BBAI are currently available at Nesos library and their hard/pdf copies can be sent on demand within the limits established by the copyright laws. Wishing you a fruitful consultation, the Nesos staff enthusiastically welcomes any suggestions or reporting of eventual inaccuracies, as well as any notice about new published contributions concerning the biodiversity of the Aeolian Islands. For the latter, we thank in advance who kindly will send us hard copy or pdf, helping Nesos to implement and disseminate the knowledge on the biodiversity of the Aeolian Islands. contacts: Nesos, via Vittorio Emanuele 24, 98055 Lipari (Italy) email: [email protected] 2 www.nesos.org BIOLOGICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE AEOLIAN ISLANDS 1.

Un total de 202 especies (122 géneros entre 62 familias) y 4 979 ejemplares de moluscos se recolectó en 24 arrastres de fondo que se realizaron en la plataforma continental frente a las costas de Sinaloa, en el SE del golfo de California, México. Los arrastres se efectuaron entre 27 y 117 m de profundidad, durante las Campañas SIPCO I, II y III, a bordo del buque oceanográfico “El Puma”, de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, en abril y agosto de 1981 y en enero de 1982. El material obtenido se reparte entre las diversas clases de moluscos como sigue: Pelecypoda, 55 especies; Gastropoda, 140; Cephalopoda, 3; Polyplacophora, 3; Scaphopoda, 1 especie. Algunas especies no pudieron ser identificadas (2 Bivalvia; 4 Gastropoda; 1 Cephalopoda), pero se reconocieron como distintas a las demás.

Box 1390, San Diego, California 92112 INTRODUCTION In November of 1946, S. Stillman Berry began the private publication of his LEAFLETS IN MALACOLOGY which he instituted to facilitate the "publication and dissemination. .. of new mollusks of special interest under study" primarily by him. LEAFLETS IN MALACOLOGY continued for twenty- three years concluding with Volume 1, Number 26 in December 1969. During these years, Dr. Berry described 99 marine molluscan species, renamed one species, and named 19 new genera in the "LEAFLETS." However, only two of the species were figured and few of the types have been illus- trated since. It is the purpose of this paper to figure all of the types of the species named by Dr. Berry in the "LEAFLETS," with the exception of the eight species of Octopus. This project would not have been possible without the efforts of Leroy and Forrest Poorman who saw the need to illustrate Dr.

  • The Endemic Fauna of the Sicilian Islands
    Biodiversity Journal, 2017, 8 (1): 249–278 MONOGRAPH The endemic fauna of the sicilian islands Calogero Muscarella1 & Alessandro Baragona2 1Via D’Ondes Reggio 8/A Scala G, 90127 Palermo, Italy; e-mail: [email protected] 2Via Piersanti Mattarella 5, 90020, Sciara, Palermo, Italy; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT In this survey we propose an analysis of the endemic fauna (Mollusca, Arthropoda, Chordata) present in the 14 major circum-sicilian islands and in Lampione islet (Strait of Sicily, Pelagie Islands). Overall, 111 endemic taxa between species and subspecies have been identified. The largest taxonomical groups are Tenebrionid Beetles and Curculionids (respectively 18 and 16 taxa) and Gastropods (20 taxa), due to their strong inclination to insular differentiation, which is inversely proportional to their vagility. The number of endemic taxa per island is positively associated to the extent of the surface but not to the distance from the closest continental mass or altitude or geological origin. The most important connection is with the complex paleo- geographic history pertaining the different insular complexes. KEY WORDS Endemism; circum-sicilian islands; paleogeography.

  • The Magnitude and Diversity of Infectious Diseases
    Chapter 1 The Magnitude and Diversity of Infectious Diseases “All interest in disease and death is only another expression of interest in life.” Thomas Mann THE IMPORTANCE OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES IN TERMS OF HUMAN MORTALITY According to the U.S. Census Bureau, on July 20, 2011, the USA population was 311 806 379, and the world population was 6 950 195 831 [2]. The U.S. Central Intelligence agency estimates that the USA crude death rate is 8.36 per 1000 and the world crude death rate is 8.12 per 1000 [3]. This translates to 2.6 million people dying in 2011 in the USA, and 56.4 million people dying worldwide. These numbers, calculated from authoritative sources, correlate surprisingly well with the widely used rule of thumb that 1% of the human population dies each year. How many of the world’s 56.4 million deaths can be attributed to infectious diseases? According to World Health Organization, in 1996, when the global death toll was 52 million, “Infectious diseases remain the world’s leading cause of death, accounting for at least 17 million (about 33%) of the 52 million people who die each year” [4]. Of course, only a small fraction of infections result in death, and it is impossible to determine the total incidence of infec- tious diseases that occur each year, for all organisms combined. Still, it is useful to consider some of the damage inflicted by just a few of the organisms that infect humans. Malaria infects 500 million people. About 2 million people die each year from malaria [4].
