THE ROBOTFALCON: A NEW METHODOLOGY TO STUDY PREY-PREDATOR INTERACTION AND AN INNOVATIVE BIRD DETERRENCE TOOL
Predation and predator–prey interactions are among the key processes shaping species traits and the functioning of ecosystems. Predators can influence prey through both lethal and non-lethal effects. The latter are less straightforward and therefore less explored than the former, yet they are …

LIQUID PLASTICS AS A NEW ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM? AN INTEGRATED RISK ASSESSMENT OF POLYVINYL ALCOHOL, POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL, POLYVINYL PYRROLIDONE AND POLYACRYLIC ACID
Water-soluble polymers (WSPs), also known as "liquid plastics," are synthetic polymers that dissolve, disperse, or swell in water due to their hydrophilic groups. Despite their extensive use in various industrial and domestic products, these polymers are not currently regulated under European …

Toward a Restoration Protocol for Mediterranean Red Coral: Incorporating Life History Traits, Genetics, Demography, and Experimental Approaches
In recent decades, the cumulative effect of anthropogenic stressors and climate change has raised particular concern for habitat degradation and biodiversity loss. Globally, there is a growing recognition of the urgent need for interventions to address this environmental deterioration. Current …

Vulnerability analysis and new tools for climate change adaptation of marine and lagoon systems
… the changes expected in the global ocean by 2050 and beyond. Among its coastal marine environments, coastal lagoons play a crucial ecological role due to their strategical position between land and sea. However, due to their characteristics, they are particularly vulnerable to climate change, …

Coastal wetlands food provisioning ecosystem services under a changing climate
Climate change (CC) is projected to affect coastal wetlands in multiple ways, altering their physical structure, community composition, ecological processes, and functions. However, society and ecosystems are deeply interconnected, since humans depend on ecosystems to live, while at the same time …

INVESTIGATION OF THE ADAPTIVE MECHANISMS TO OCEAN ACIDIFICATION IN PATELLA SPECIES FROM CO2 VENT SYSTEMS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA
RIASSUNTO Il continuo incremento delle emissioni antropogeniche di anidride carbonica (CO2) in atmosfera è uno dei principali fattori che contribuiscono all’acidificazione degli oceani (OA). Infatti, circa il 30% della CO2 emessa viene assorbita dagli oceani, dove ne altera l’equilibrio chimico e …

INVASION DYNAMICS OF FRESHWATER CRAYFISH IN A MAN-DOMINATED LAND: SPATIO-TEMPORAL, ECOLOGICAL AND HUMAN DIMENSIONS
Biological invasions are among the leading threats to freshwater biodiversity, yet predicting their dynamics and mitigating their impacts remains challenging, especially in human-dominated landscapes where human-aided dispersal is highly possible. This thesis in particular advances understanding of …

MULTIFUNCTIONAL EVALUATION AND VALIDATION OF PRACTICES, TOOLS AND INNOVATIVE MODELS FOR THE LANDSCAPE AND AGROECOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT OF AGRICULTURAL SYSTEMS: TRADE-OFFS AND SYNERGIES IN THE ECOSYSTEM SERVICES FRAMEWORK
BACKGROUND. Severe agrobiodiversity loss trends are ongoing, altering the agroecosystem regulating processes. Biodiversity loss is both a consequence and driver of the current ecological crisis. Among rural systems, it is a pivotal driver of agroecosystems vulnerability and lack of resilience. …

THE ORCHARD AND ITS DWELLERS: PATHWAYS FOR RECONCILING NATURE CONSERVATION WITH INTENSIVE AGRICULTURE IN THE NON VALLEY APPLE DISTRICT, NORTHERN ITALY
L’agricoltura moderna sta affrontando la sfida globale di sfamare la crescente popolazione umana e contemporaneamente ridurre drasticamente il suo impatto ambientale. Fino ad ora, l’intensificazione agricola è avvenuta a discapito dei sistemi naturali, comportando un declino globale della …
