G. & Campisi, P.: Life forms, life strategies and ecological indices of bryophytes for bioindication in wood areas: a case of study in the "Bosco della Ficuzza, Rocca Busambra, Bosco del Cappelliere e Gorgo del Drago” Oriented Nature Reserve (West Sicily). — Fl. Medit. 25 (Special Issue): 167-178. 2015. — ISSN: 1120-4052 printed, 2240-4538 online. Life forms, life strategies and ecological indices of bryophytes which live in evergreen and deciduous Quercus woods as well as in a Pinus halepensis artificial system within the "Bosco della Ficuzza, Rocca Busambra, Bosco del Cappelliere e Gorgo del Drago” Oriented Nature Reserve are analysed and compared. The study highlights that in the same local climatic con- ditions the Quercus and Pinus trees select different bio-ecological types in the bryophyte com- munities. They appear to be especially useful to detect physionomic-structural differences in the woods, integrating the information provided by the ecological indices. Key words: Bryophytes, life forms, life strategies, bioindication, Sicilian woods. Introduction As bryophyte life forms and life strategies make it possible to bring together unrelated taxa on base of adaptive traits, they are known as functional types which provide better information of habitat conditions than species composition (Gimingham & Birse 1957). -
Ilex Aquifolium
Ilex aquifolium Ilex aquifolium (holly, common holly, English holly, European holly, or occasionally Christmas holly), is a species of holly native to western and southern Europe, northwest Africa, and southwest Asia. It is regarded as the type species of the genus Ilex, which by association is also called "holly". It is an evergreen tree or shrub found, for example, in shady areas of forests of oak and in beech hedges. In the British Isles it is one of very few native evergreen trees. It has a great capacity to adapt to different conditions and is a pioneer species that repopulates the margins of forests or clearcuts. I. aquifolium can exceed 10 m in height, but is often found at much smaller heights, typically 2–3 m (6.6–9.8 ft) tall and broad, with a straight trunk and pyramidal crown, branching from the base. It grows slowly and does not usually fully mature due to cutting or fire. It can live 500 years, but usually does not reach 100. Ilex aquifolium is the species of holly long associated with Christmas, and previously the Roman festival of Saturnalia. Its glossy green prickly leaves and bright red berries (produced only by the female plant) are represented in wreaths, garlands and cards wherever Christmas is celebrated. It is a subject of music and folklore, especially in the British tradition. It is also a popular ornamental shrub or hedge, with numerous cultivars in a range of colours. Description Ilex aquifolium grows to 10–25 m (33–82 ft) tall with a woody stem as wide as 40–80 cm (16– 31 in), rarely 100 cm (39 in) or more, in diameter. -

G. Venturella, A. Saitta, M. Sarasini, A. Montecchi & L. Gori Contribution to the knowledge of hypogeous fungi from Sicily (S-Italy) Abstract Venturella, G., Saitta, A., Sarasini, M., Montecchi, A., & Gori, L.: Contribution to the knowledge of hypogeous fungi from Sicily (S-Italy). — Fl. Medit. 14: 275-284. 2004. — ISSN 1120-4052. Distributive and ecological data on thirty-five hypogeous and semi-hypogeous fungi from Sicily (southern Italy) are reported here. Nineteen taxa are new for the Sicilian mycobiota. The presence of Radiigera atrogleba and Setchelliogaster tenuipes var. rheophyllus is note- worthy. Introduction Distributive and ecological data on hypogeous fungi are usually very limited in myco- logical studies. In fact, the possibility to detect the presence of such fungi is strictly linked to the availability of trained dogs. Besides only a low number of semi-hypogeous fungi could be easily found by moving the superficial layer of litter. The first data on hypogeous fungi from Sicily (southern Italy) were reported by Taranto & Gerbino (1845) and Inzenga (1865-1869). They pointed out the presence of Tuber aestivum Vittad. in some territories of eastern Sicily and in mould of vases containing oaks in it cultivated in the Botanical Garden of Palermo. Besides, Inzenga also reported Melanogaster ambiguus (Vittad.) Tul. & C. Tul. (sub: M. ambiguus Tul.) and Terfezia arenaria (Moris) Trappe (sub: T. leonis Tul.) from the Sicilian territory. Afterwards, Scalia (1900) reported some findings of T. arenaria, T. boudieri Chatin and Tuber lacunosum Mattirolo from eastern Sicily and the Etna volcano, too. At the beginning of the 20th century, Pasquale Baccarini and Ugolino Martelli, working at that time in Sicily, sent many specimens of hypogeous fungi to Oreste Mattirolo, Professor at the University of Turin (northern Italy). -
English Holly Ilex Aquifolium L
English holly Ilex aquifolium L. Synonyms: none Other common names: none Family: Aquifoliaceae Invasiveness Rank: 67 The invasiveness rank is calculated based on a species’ ecological impacts, biological attributes, distribution, and response to control measures. The ranks are scaled from 0 to 100, with 0 representing a plant that poses no threat to native ecosystems and 100 representing a plant that poses a major threat to native ecosystems. Description English holly is a small, evergreen shrub or tree with numerous, short, erect to spreading branches. It commonly grows 2 to 5 m tall, but it can grow up to 17 m tall in its native range. Young twigs are green and develop grey bark with age. Leaves are alternate, petiolated, ovate to oblong, entire or lobed, leathery, and 2.5 to 6 cm long with glossy, dark green upper surfaces and spine-like teeth. Male and female flowers are usually found on separate plants. Flowers are 6 mm in diameter, white, and borne in few-flowered, axillary clusters. Fruits are 7 to 12 mm in diameter, red, smooth, and clustered with 2 to 8 single-seeded nutlets each. Nutlets are convex and ridged (DiTomaso and Healy Fruit and foliage of Ilex aquifolium L. Photo by F. Vincentz. 2007, eFloras 2008, Klinkenberg 2010). Ecological Impact Impact on community composition, structure, and interactions: English holly invades undisturbed forests in the Pacific Northwest (Polster 2004, King County 2010, Klinkenberg 2010), and it has escaped cultivation and become invasive in moist, coastal forests in California (DiTomaso and Healy 2007). This species is considered one of the ten most invasive garden plants for sale in Tasmania. -

Historical and Recent Data of Sicilian Traps: the Complexity of Data Recovery and Interpretation
SCRS/2017/043 Collect. Vol. Sci. Pap. ICCAT, 74(6): 2873-2886 (2018) HISTORICAL AND RECENT DATA OF SICILIAN TRAPS: THE COMPLEXITY OF DATA RECOVERY AND INTERPRETATION A. Pagá García1, A. Di Natale1, S. Tensek1, C. Palma1 SUMMARY One of the main activities of the ICCAT GBYP is data recovery and most of the efforts have been devoted to traps, the gear with the longest history. After 7 years of data recovery, a considerable amount of information and a data series going back to 1512 were produced, now the data statistics to be used by the SCRS. At this point, to avoid biased interpretations of the accumulated data, it is important to show what is behind the numbers, the complexity of the situations over the many centuries and the limits for interpreting the data. For this purpose, we used as an example the data from the Sicilian traps, the most documented and even the most complex series. RÉSUMÉ La récupération des données constitue l'une des principales tâches de l'ICCAT-GBYP et la plupart des efforts ont été consacrés aux madragues, l’engin présentant l’historique le plus long. Après avoir récupéré des données pendant sept ans, ce qui a produit une quantité considérable d'informations et une série de données remontant à 1512, le SCRS a commencé à utiliser les données statistiques. À ce stade, afin d’éviter les interprétations biaisées des données accumulées, il est important de montrer ce qui se cache derrière les chiffres, la complexité des situations au cours des nombreux siècles et les limites d'interprétation des données. -
