The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly for the European leaf-toed gecko, providing a high-quality reference for studying genome evolution and sex chromosome dynamics.

The paper investigates firefly diversity in the Tuscan Archipelago and Italian Peninsula, finding high genetic differentiation and six distinct mitochondrial lineages, suggesting multiple species and highlighting the area as a conservation priority.

The paper examines how environmental conditions affect trait interactions in sea rock-pool mosquitoes, showing that salinity modulates direct carry-over effects through larval size-dependent behavioural plasticity.

This study explores using heterospecific sterile males to control Drosophila suzukii by exploiting reproductive interference, showing they reduce pest fitness through mating.

This study shows that early-life environmental conditions in hatcheries affect individual plasticity in juvenile lobsters' behavior and life-history traits, impacting conservation effectiveness.

This study investigates how disturbance and social environment affect background colour choice in rock-pool mosquitoes, finding significant social influence and individual variation.

This study identifies future climatic refugia for the common amphibian Hyla sarda under climate change, showing that its range will shrink and refugia will be largely unprotected.

The paper develops a cost-effective SNP panel for geographic assignment of confiscated Mediterranean tortoises using ddRAD-seq, achieving high accuracy at low cost.

The paper develops a microsatellite toolkit and reference database to trace the geographic origin of confiscated Hermann’s tortoises and assess illegal translocations.

The paper investigates the diversity and evolutionary history of the mayfly Baetis gr. rhodani on Mediterranean islands, identifying three distinct lineages with divergences dating back to the Eocene-Oligocene transition.
