    Abstract It is well known that Giovanni Virginio Schiaparelli (1834-1910) wrote in 1898 an essay, Forme organiche naturali e forme geometriche pure. Studio comparativo, which was also appreciated by Vito Volterra (1860-1940). Recent studies have revised Schiaparelli's evolutionary ideas with new proposals and from this it is possible to obtain a dynamical (deterministic) model. In this paper I propose a related stochastic model (as toy model): thanks to this tool, we can describe a speciation phenomenology.

    Abstract Migratory organisms can be vectors of parasitic host organisms that can then be transported along seasonal migratory journeys and spread across continents. Ornithophilic nidicolous ticks (e.g. soft ticks) include species responsible for the transmission of pathogens and bacteria, thus representing a health problem not only for wild species that are directly parasitized, but also for those that share the same environments or reproductive sites with them. In this regard, artificial nests for birds may turn out to be site-sources of parasites. Here, we document the occurrence of different life stages of Argas persicus ticks in nest boxes of wild birds in a natural area (not associated with poultry activities) of central coastal Italy (Maremma Regional Park, Tuscany). Between 2018 and 2022, 168 ticks were collected from nest boxes occupied by different secondary cavity-nesting birds, such as European rollers Coracias garrulus and scops owl Otus scops. Ticks were analysed morphologically, and selected specimens were also identified by mitochondrial ribosomal 16S (16S) subunit gene to ascertain their taxonomic status. All ticks were identified as Argas persicus. This finding not only suggests that this tick species has formed a viable population in this Italian region, but also further confirms the previously doubtful natural origin of the species at country level and sheds new light on its underestimated and little investigated distribution. Possible pathways of introduction and its potential impacts on local avian community are discussed.

    Abstract Antibiotic overprescribing in dentistry is a major concern that contributes to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. It is due in part to the misuse of antibiotics by dentists but also by other practitioners who see patients in emergency for dental care. We used the Protégé software to create an ontology regarding the most common dental diseases and the most used antibiotics to treat them. It is an easy shareable knowledge base that could be used directly as decision support tool to improve the use of antibiotics in dental care.

    Abstract Reintroductions represent an opportunity to restore local biodiversity and reverse the effect of taxa extinction. However, they need feasibility and monitoring plans before and during their implementation to ensure concrete and lasting results. During the 20th century, the osprey (Pandion haliaetus) underwent a severe population decline in many European countries due to direct persecution and coast exploitation. In the 1960s–1970s, it was declared extinct as a breeder in Italy. In 2004, the Maremma Regional Park (Tuscany, central Italy) started a reintroduction project by capturing and releasing, from 2006 to 2010, 33 juvenile Corsican ospreys on the southern coast of Tuscany. The settlement of the first breeding pair in 2011 was the initial sign of the success of the reintroduction project, then further pairs settled from 2011 onward. A total of 81 feather or blood samples were collected for DNA extraction from both translocated (2006–2010) and newborn individuals (2011–2021). Individuals were analyzed at 16 microsatellite loci to verify any changes in genetic variability over time and to set out a protocol for the reconstruction of kinship for conservation and management purposes. We did not observe a reduction in genetic variability between the two sampling periods, although we found a slight sign of the founder effect in the reestablished population. A strong genetic differentiation was observed between this Mediterranean population and an injured osprey from a Northern European population, thus confirming the importance of considering the local genetic pool in any reintroduction project. Monogamous behavior was confirmed by family reconstruction, which allowed the identification of clear kinship relationships. Our findings indirectly inform on the genetic variability of the population during the 16-year period from the start of the project and provide useful insights for its long-term conservation.

    Abstract As part of a long-term monitoring program, more than 80 Mediterranean ospreys Pandion haliaetus (both adults and juveniles) were tagged with GPS-GSM transmitters and tracked to study their spatiotemporal behaviour. Here we document the peculiar and unexpected migration movements performed by three inexperienced (juvenile/immature) individuals, who crossed the open sea “against the flow”, in the opposite direction to that foreseen for the given season. Using a combination of GPS tracking data and weather information, we found that such movements were linked to particular meteorological conditions occurring over the Mediterranean Sea during migration. Mean values of wind gust of approximately 20 km/h and moderate tailwinds seem to have mediated the onset of the movements, facilitating the flight of ospreys over water. Our findings suggest that both weather conditions (sidewinds) and the inexperience of the birds explain these long migration movements performed towards unexpected directions over the open sea. We conclude that migratory capabilities and the ability to cope with external conditions may lead inexperienced birds to perform extensive and tortuous dispersal/explotrative movements during both first autumn and spring migration.

    Abstract Objectives: To evaluate eravacycline (ERV) activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria collected between 2017 and 2020 from worldwide locations.
    Methods: MIC determinations were performed using Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) broth microdilution methodology. ERV and tigecycline susceptibility was interpreted using United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) breakpoints. Comparator susceptibility was interpreted using CLSI and EUCAST breakpoints.
    Results: ERV MIC
    Conclusion: This study reaffirms ERV's consistent broad-spectrum activity, which has been evaluated since 2003. ERV remains a key agent for the treatment of bacterial infections, including resistant isolates, but urgent reassessment of clinical breakpoints is required for staphylococci and enterococci.
