- 01 Oct 2021
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated elevational patterns in species richness, biogeographical composition (chorotypes) and life forms (Raunkiaer classification) along an elevational gradient in a Mediterranean mountain (Central Italy).

Volatile fingerprints of artemisinin-rich Artemisia annua cultivars by headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography/mass spectrometry
TL;DR: HS-SPME coupled with GC/MS is a very useful, non-destructive and efficient method to describe the volatile pattern of Artemisia annua cultivars and represents a rapid screening method for the evaluation of volatile biomarkers like artemisia ketone, whose absence is typical of artemisinin-rich A. annua genotypes.

In vitro propagation of Artemisia petrosa ssp. eriantha: Potential for the preservation of an endangered species
TL;DR: A micropropagation method was developed for Artemisia petrosa ssp.

Comparison of Soil Biology Quality in Organically and Conventionally Managed Agro-Ecosystems Using Microarthropods
Cristina Mantoni,Marika Pellegrini,Leonardo Dapporto,Maria Maddalena Del Gallo,Loretta Pace,Donato Silveri,Simone Fattorini +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared soil health in organic and conventional fields in the Abruzzi region (central Italy) by using (1) the soil biology quality (QBS) index (which expresses the level of specialisation in soil environment shown by micro-thropods) and (2) microarthropod diversity expressed by Hill numbers.

Elevational Patterns of Generic Diversity in the Tenebrionid Beetles (Coleoptera Tenebrionidae) of Latium (Central Italy)
Simone Fattorini,Cristina Mantoni,Letizia Di Biase,Giovanni Strona,Loretta Pace,Maurizio Biondi +5 more
TL;DR: The results support the environmental filtering hypothesis for the species composition of tenebrionid beetles along an elevational gradient and suggest that geophilous species are more sensitive to variation in environmental factors, and that the advantages of close relationships are greater than the possible drawbacks.
