Biodiversity Data Journal 8: e47183. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.8.e47183 Abstract Background The checklist of Stomatopoda of Greece was developed in the framework of the LifeWatchGreece Research Infrastructure (ESFRI) project, coordinated by the Institute of Marine Biology, Biotechnology and Aquaculture (IMBBC) of the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (HCMR). The application of the Greek Taxon Information System (GTIS) of this project has been used in order to develop a complete checklist of species recorded from the Greek Seas. The objectives of the present study were to update and cross-check all the stomatopod species that are known to occur in the Greek Seas. Inaccuracies and omissions were also investigated, according to literature and current taxonomic status. New information The up-to-date checklist of Stomatopoda of Greece comprises nine species, classified to eight genera and three families.

Ploșnița este o specie invazivă originară din zona vest Mediteraneană, de unde și numele de ploșnita Mediteraneană. O. lavaterae s-a răspândit rapid cu populații masive în regiunea Fig. 1. Oxycarenus lavaterae Palearctică, din nord-vestul continentului African până în vestul Europei. În Europa este răspândită în majoritatea țărilor din est, centru și sud-est. În ultimii 20 de ani ploșnița s-a răspândit spre nord și a fost găsită în Muntenegru (1985), Ungaria (1994), Slovacia (1995), Serbia (1996), Bulgaria (1998), Nordul Franței (1999), Austria (2001), Elveția de Nord (2002), Finlanda (2003), Republica Cehă (2004), Germania (2004), România (2008) și Republica Moldova (2016). Principalele căi de pătrundere a dăunătorului în zone noi libere: Căile posibile de pătrundere a ploșniței teiului din zonele unde specia există în zone libere sunt accentuate de comerțul și schimbul de material săditor din speciile gazdă afectate. În plus, iernile cu temperaturi blânde, așa cum sunt de ceva vreme, permit supraviețuirea populațiilor peste iarnă întărind rezerva biologică a dăunătorului (Derjanschi & Elisoveţcaia, 2017). Distribuție în România: Prima semnalare a speciei în România a fost în 2008 pe specii de tei din orașul Pitești (Bărbuceanu, 2012). În 2009, specia a fost observată și în regiunea Banatului.

  • Uef-Spinelli Group
    UEF-SPINELLI GROUP MANIFESTO 9 MAY 2021 At watershed moments in history, communities need to adapt their institutions to avoid sliding into irreversible decline, thus equipping themselves to govern new circumstances. After the end of the Cold War the European Union, with the creation of the monetary Union, took a first crucial step towards adapting its institutions; but it was unable to agree on a true fiscal and social policy for the Euro. Later, the Lisbon Treaty strengthened the legislative role of the European Parliament, but again failed to create a strong economic and political union in order to complete the Euro. Resulting from that, the EU was not equipped to react effectively to the first major challenges and crises of the XXI century: the financial crash of 2008, the migration flows of 2015- 2016, the rise of national populism, and the 2016 Brexit referendum. This failure also resulted in a strengthening of the role of national governments — as shown, for example, by the current excessive concentration of power within the European Council, whose actions are blocked by opposing national vetoes —, and in the EU’s chronic inability to develop a common foreign policy capable of promoting Europe’s common strategic interests. Now, however, the tune has changed. In the face of an unprecedented public health crisis and the corresponding collapse of its economies, Europe has reacted with unity and resolve, indicating the way forward for the future of European integration: it laid the foundations by starting with an unprecedented common vaccination strategy, for a “Europe of Health”, and unveiled a recovery plan which will be financed by shared borrowing and repaid by revenue from new EU taxes levied on the digital and financial giants and on polluting industries.

  • Transnational Female Identity and Literary Narratives Between Italy and Eastern Europe
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Cartographies of Estrangement: Transnational Female Identity and Literary Narratives between Italy and Eastern Europe A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Italian by Renata Redford 2016 © Copyright by Renata Redford 2016 ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Cartographies of Estrangement: Transnational Female Identity and Literary Narratives between Italy and Eastern Europe by Renata Redford Doctor of Philosophy in Italian University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Lucia Re, Chair This dissertation investigates a vital body of women’s writing in Italian about the estranging effects of migration in order to emphasize the articulation of a literary discourse that undermines conventional depictions of the Eastern European female migrant. I provide evidence of the emergence in their work of a distinctly transnational approach to literary writing (narrative in particular), founded on a creative way of addressing questions of estrangement, the body, and memory. I consider the work of three authors, who have yet to be fully acknowledged in the Italian literary landscape: the Italophone writers Jarmila Očkayová (1955-present; Italo- Slovakian) and Ingrid Beatrice Coman (1971-present; Italo-Romanian living in Malta), and Marisa Madieri (1938-1996; Italo-Hungarian from Istria), whose native language was Italian. My analysis focuses on the stylistic, thematic, and structural elements that Očkayová, Coman and Madieri employ to engage with and

AN ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF EXTANT BRACHYURAN CRABS OF THE WORLD Peter K. L. Ng Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research, Department of Biological Sciences, National University of Singapore, Kent Ridge, Singapore 119260, Republic of Singapore Email: [email protected] Danièle Guinot Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, Département Milieux et peuplements aquatiques, 61 rue Buffon, 75005 Paris, France Email: [email protected] Peter J. F. Davie Queensland Museum, PO Box 3300, South Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT. – An annotated checklist of the extant brachyuran crabs of the world is presented for the first time. Over 10,500 names are treated including 6,793 valid species and subspecies (with 1,907 primary synonyms), 1,271 genera and subgenera (with 393 primary synonyms), 93 families and 38 superfamilies. Nomenclatural and taxonomic problems are reviewed in detail, and many resolved. Detailed notes and references are provided where necessary. The constitution of a large number of families and superfamilies is discussed in detail, with the positions of some taxa rearranged in an attempt to form a stable base for future taxonomic studies.

Milne-Edwards, 1878; Pelia mutica (Gibbes, 1850) y Nibilia antilocapra (Stimpson, 1871)], que representan 38 % de los cangrejos de esta subfamilia señalados para el mar Caribe . Durante una revisión de material pendiente de identificar perteneciente a la colección de crustáceos del Laboratorio de Carcinología de la Universidad de Oriente, Isla de Margarita, Venezuela, fueron hallados nueve especímenes (seis machos y tres hembras) de Apiomithrax violaceus (A . Milne-Edwards, 1868) . La distribución hasta ahora conocida de este Pisinae estaba circunscrita a Mauritania hasta Angola en el Atlántico oriental, Isla Ascensión en el Atlántico central, Brasil y el Delta del Orinoco en el Atlántico occidental . Todos los ejemplares fueron colectados en aguas marinas venezolanas en las siguientes localidades: Isla de Margarita: Playa Valdés, península de Macanao; Estado Sucre (área continental): Guayacán . Este es el registro más septentrional de la especie y la primera vez en ser señalada para el mar Caribe, incrementando a 17 el número de especies de Pisinae conocidas para esta área .
