Biodiversity Data Journal 8: e46989. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.8.e46989 Abstract Background Originally from Asia, Hierodula patellifera (Serville, 1839) occurs several Mediterranean countries, such as Italy. These arrivals could come from many factors: new pets or commercial human transport. New information The presence of Hierodula patellifera (Serville, 1839) is here reported for the first time in France. A well settled and probably widespread population of this species is here discussed as its adaptability to the Mediterranean climate. Some considerations on the potential impacts on the local ecosystems and its future spreading in Europe as an invasive species are given. © Moulin N.

Roberto BATTISTON 1, 2 1 University of Perugia, Department of Physics, via Pascoli, 06123 Perugia, Italy 2 National Institute of Nuclear Physics, Italy e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT In this paper we review the long history of the relationship of humankind with the universe. From Stonehenge until the modern satellites, our race has always devoted huge resources and the best techniques to decipher messages coming from far away in the cosmos, trying to reach a better understanding of our place in the universe. Keywords: star, particles, cosmos, universe, physics, astrophysics ZVEZDE IN DELCI: BESEDI UNIVERZUMA IZVLEČEK V tem prispevku smo pregledali dolgo zgodovino odnosa, ki vlada med človeštvom in univerzumom. Od Stonehengea do modernih satelitov – naša rasa je vedno vlagala veliko denarja in najboljše tehnologije v dešifriranje sporočil, ki prihajajo iz oddalje- nega kozmosa, da bi tako poskusila bolje razumeti svoje mesto v univerzumu.
