Marszałka Piłsudskiego 46, PL–81–378 Gdynia, Poland Received 20 December 2005, revised 23 May 2006, accepted 5 June 2006. Abstract The present paper reports for the first time on the occurrence of Platorchestia platensis (Krøyer, 1845) (Crustacea, Amphipoda) in Puck Bay (southern Baltic, Poland) in May 2005. A key to the Baltic talitrids is given, which can be used to identify males and females of the four species occurring on Polish shores (Talitrus saltator, Talorchestia deshayesii, Orchestia cavimana, Platorchestia platensis)and additionally Orchestia gammarellus, which may yet be found in the Polish coastal zone. Only three species of talitrid amphipod (Crustacea) have been recorded from Polish shores. The sandhoppers Talitrus saltator (Montagu, 1808) and Talorchestia deshayesii (Audouin, 1826) are ubiquitous beneath flotsam and jetsam or wrack cast up at the high water mark on sandy beaches * This work was funded through European Community project BALTDER under the fifth FP, contract No EVK3-CT-2002-80005 and the Polish Ministry of Scientific Research and Information.

Marine Snails of the Genus Phorcus: Biology and Ecology of Sentinel Species for Human Impacts on the Rocky Shores
DOI: 10.5772/intechopen.71614 Provisional chapter Chapter 7 Marine Snails of the Genus Phorcus: Biology and MarineEcology Snails of Sentinel of the Species Genus Phorcusfor Human: Biology Impacts and on the EcologyRocky Shores of Sentinel Species for Human Impacts on the Rocky Shores Ricardo Sousa, João Delgado, José A. González, Mafalda Freitas and Paulo Henriques Ricardo Sousa, João Delgado, José A. González, MafaldaAdditional information Freitas and is available Paulo at Henriques the end of the chapter Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.71614 Abstract In this review article, the authors explore a broad spectrum of subjects associated to marine snails of the genus Phorcus Risso, 1826, namely, distribution, habitat, behaviour and life history traits, and the consequences of anthropological impacts, such as fisheries, pollution, and climate changes, on these species. This work focuses on discussing the ecological importance of these sentinel species and their interactions in the rocky shores as well as the anthropogenic impacts to which they are subjected. One of the main anthro- pogenic stresses that affect Phorcus species is fisheries. Topshell harvesting is recognized as occurring since prehistoric times and has evolved through time from a subsistence to commercial exploitation level. However, there is a gap of information concerning these species that hinders stock assessment and management required for sustainable exploi- tation. Additionally, these keystone species are useful tools in assessing coastal habitat quality, due to their eco-biological features. Contamination of these species with heavy metals carries serious risk for animal and human health due to their potential of biomag- nification in the food chain. -
Parte II Il Piano Anticorruzione
Parte II Il Piano anticorruzione 46 1. Analisi del contesto Secondo l’Autorità nazionale anticorruzione la prima e indispensabile fase del processo di gestione del rischio è quella relativa all'analisi del contesto, attraverso la quale ottenere le informazioni necessarie a comprendere come il rischio corruttivo possa verificarsi all'interno dell'amministrazione per via delle specificità dell'ambiente in cui essa opera in termini di strutture territoriali e di dinamiche sociali, economiche e culturali, o per via delle caratteristiche organizzative interne (ANAC determinazione n. 12 del 28 ottobre 2015). Attraverso questo tipo di analisi si favorisce la predisposizione di un PTPC contestualizzato e, quindi, potenzialmente più efficace. 1.1. Contesto esterno Il Comune di Canaro, sito in provincia di Rovigo, è un Comune di 2.761 abitanti al 31/12/2016. La superficie è di 32,65 km², pertanto la densità abitativa è di 84,56 ab./km². Il Comune è composto dal capoluogo canaro, dalle frazioni Garofolo, Paviole, Vallone. Il Comune è situato nella zona sud orientale della Provincia di Rovigo, confina con i Comuni di Ferrara (FE),Fiesso Umbertiano (Ro), Frassinelle Polesine (RO), Occhiobello (RO), Polesella (RO), Ro (FE). Il Comune si trova in provincia di Rovigo nella Regione del Veneto. Confina con la Provincia di Ferrara in Emilia Romagna, dalla quale è separata dal fiume Po. 47 Dista circa 22 km dal capoluogo di provincia Rovigo, al quale è collegato dalla S.S. 16. Dista circa 15 km da Ferrara, alla quale è collegato sempre tramite la S.S. 16 La rete stradale più importante è costituita dalla strada statale suddetta e dall’autostrada, che però non ha un casello nel Comune di Canaro. -

(Mollusca: Gastropoda). – Spixiana 30/1: 121-125 The higher systematics of the family Ovulidae is reorganised on the basis of re- cently published studies of the radulae, shell and animal morphology and the 16S rRNA gene. The family is divided into four subfamilies. Two new subfamilîes are introduced as Prionovolvinae nov. and Aclyvolvinae nov. The apomorphism and the result of the study of the 16S rRNA gene are contro- versally concerning the Pediculariidae. Therefore, the Pediculariidae are excluded as subfamily from the Ovulidae.

Sold out Del Gatto Con Gli Stivali Per Il Teatro Siete Voi a Costa Di Rovigo
www.portovirando.it Lunedì 05 luglio 2021 Sold out del gatto con gli stivali per il Teatro siete Voi a Costa di Rovigo COSTA DI ROVIGO (RO) – Pienone assoluto. Bambini di tutte le età ad occupare tutta la prima metà della platea (e genitori nelle retroguardie) hanno partecipato allo spettacolo de “Il teatro siete voi”, sabato sera (3 luglio), in piazza a Costa di Rovigo. In scena, la premiata compagnia amatoriale rodigina “Il Mosaico” col suo lavoro originale “Il gatto con gli stivali”, adattamento e trasposizione teatrale di Emilio Zenato della celeberrima fiaba di Perrault. Fin da subito la sceneggiatura si è aperta alla partecipazione dei piccoli spettatori, chiamati sia individualmente, sia coralmente a rispondere e dialogare con gli attori, in modo da sentirsi protagonisti e commentatori. Il Gatto, interpretato da Emilio Zenato, con un costumone peloso stile “orso Yogi”, appariva in scena sempre condividendo col pubblico i suoi “piani” e dando lezioni di come si pulisce una lettiera o sull’alimentazione felina (“una volta, mangiavano i topi! Adesso solo crocchette!”) o come si cattura una lepre con la formula magica. Rimarcabile la prova di Roberta Casetta, una credibile e ben caratterizzata Regina (che ha preso il posto del Re della fiaba originale), che con il tormentone sul nome, sempre dimenticato e storpiato, del marchese di Carabas, attirava i bambini nella correzione continuativa. Bravi anche il resto degli interpreti: Fabio Valerio Raminella (Germano, il figlio del mugnaio), Lorenza Chini (l’Orco) e Silvia Visentin (la principessa Melania). Molto soddisfatto il vicesindaco Cristiano Villa, che ha accolto il pubblico insieme alla direttrice artistica de “Il teatro siete voi” Irene Lissandrin. -

A BLIND ABYSSAL CORAMBIDAE (MOLLUSCA, NUDIBRANCHIA) FROM THE NORWEGIAN SEA, WITH A REEVALUATION OF THE SYSTEMATICS OF THE FAMILY ÁNGEL VALDÉS & PHILIPPE BOUCHET VALDÉS, ÁNGEL & PHILIPPE BOUCHET 1998 03 13. A blind abyssal Corambidae (Mollusca, Nudibranchia) SARSIA from the Norwegian Sea, with a reevaluation of the systematics of the family. – Sarsia 83:15-20. Bergen. ISSN 0036-4827. Echinocorambe brattegardi gen. et sp. nov. is described based on five eyeless specimens collected between 2538 and 3016 m depth in the Norwegian Sea. This new monotypic genus differs from other confamilial taxa in having the dorsum covered with long papillae and a radula formula n.3.1.3.n. The posterior notch in the notum and gill morphology, which have traditionally been used as generic characters in the family Corambidae, are considered to have little or no taxonomical value above species level. Instead of the currently described 11 nominal genera, we recognize as valid only Corambe and Loy, to which is now added Echinocorambe. Loy differs from Corambe in the asym- metrical lobes of the posterior notal notch and the presence of spicules in the notum. All other nominal genera are objective or subjective synonyms of these two.

APPENDIX 1 Resources for Training in Reef Monitoring Skills Suggested Training Plan the Entire Training Course Can Actually Be Taught in a WeekS Time
APPENDIX 1 Resources for training in reef monitoring skills Suggested training plan The entire training course can actually be taught in a weeks time. However, it is recommended that the training be spread over the course of 3 years in order to allow the team sufficient time to practice under supervision and to allow the study area to actually change in response to management activities enough to be observed. If a community is being trained by external trainers, at least two visits by them should be planned for each year. The trainees should be encouraged to collect data 2 to 4 times a year (i.e. once per season) together with their local development workers. Year & Scheduled Activities Ongoing Season Activities Year 1. Season 1. Introduce the idea of participatory monitoring & evaluation to (e.g. Nov.-Mar.) key community leaders. Check the site for appropriate biophysical and socioeconomic conditions, logistics, and counterpart arrangements and offer to conduct the training. Year 1. Season 2. Review of basic reef ecology and management. Teach Chapters (e.g. Apr.-May) 1-4 and the data collection and recording steps of Chapters 5- 3-4 days 9. Have trainees practice collecting data while experienced people collect baseline data (on the benthos, reef fishes, and invertebrates).
