In this study, we present a fused multi-scale approach to model habitat suitability index (HSI) maps for three different locust species. The presented methodology was applied the Italian (Calliptamus italicus, CIT) in Pavlodar oblast, Northern Kazakhstan, Moroccan (Dociostaurus maroccanus, DMA) Turkistan South Kazakhstan and desert (Schistocerca gregaria) Awash river basin, Ethiopia, Djibouti, ...

Little or no genetic divergence is detected using mitochondrial 16S rDNA sequence comparisons across the entire geographic range of the scorpion Euscorpius italicus (Herbst 1800) from Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, Greece and Turkey. This is consistent with known absence of patterns of allozymes and morphological variation. Euscorpius italicus is found almost exclusively in human habitations. It...

The Italian locust is a common species and one of the most important pest in steppes, semi-deserts, deserts Central Southwestern Asia also Mediterranean Region. aim this paper to discuss some problems arising from studies eco-geographical distribution long-term dynamics species, especially southern part West Siberia, their consequences for management rare forms. Peculiarities populations’ are d...

How organisms respond to environmental change is a long-standing question in evolutionary biology. Species invading novel habitats provide an opportunity to examine contemporary evolution in action and decipher the pace of evolutionary change over short timescales. Here, we characterized phenotypic evolution in the Italian plethodontid salamander, Hydromantes strinatii, following the recent col...

The production of maltase, an inducible and repressible catabolic enzyme in Saccharomyces italicus, was studied and compared in batch, fed-batch, and continuous fermentations. Tight genetic controls on maltase synthesis limited the effect of environmental manipulations such as fed-batch or continuous culture in enhancement of maltase synthesis, and neither approach was able to improve the perfo...
