To this purpose, the aim of the present study was to describe the microbial population of traditional Sicilian cheeses. 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z /library/oar/handle/123456789/23872 Title: Odonata of the South-eastern swamp lakes ‘Pantano Cuba’ and ‘Pantano Longarini’ (Sicily) Authors: Galasso, Paolo; Marletta, Alessandro; Corso, Andrea Abstract: From March 2015 to September 2017, a study focused on Odonata, funded by the German foundation ‘Stiftung Pro Artenvielfalt ®’ (Foundation Pro Biodiversity), was conducted at the swamp lakes ‘Pantano Cuba’ and ‘Pantano Longarini’, in the Southeastern coast of Sicily, near Pachino (Siracusa). 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z /library/oar/handle/123456789/23871 Title: Distribution and current status of Hermit Beetle populations in Natura 2000 protected areas in Bulgaria Authors: Bekchiev, Rostislav; Kostova, Rumyana Abstract: The first information about this species in Bulgaria was reported by Yoakimov, Markovic and Nedelkov between 1904 and 1909. Since then, data about O. barnabita from Bulgaria was only published in four papers between 1960 and 2005. In general, about 20 localities were known for this species, mainly in the South-western and South-eastern parts of Bulgaria. This communication provides an overview of the problems related to the proper taxonomical status, new distribution information, habitat modelling, monitoring and appropriate measures for protection and conservation of O. barnabita. 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z /library/oar/handle/123456789/23870 Title: Neuroptera (Insecta) of Pantelleria, the Pelagic Islands and the Maltese archipelago : towards an annotated checklist with new records Authors: Pantaleoni, Roberto A.; Loru, Laura; Mifsud, David Abstract: Mediterranean islands have a high ecological and biogeographical significance since they bridge the gap between Europe and North Africa. However, many factors make it difficult to decipher their biogeographical patterns. Taking into account published and unpublished records, a revised and annotated checklist of the Neuroptera found in Pantelleria, the Pelagic Islands and the Maltese archipelago was compiled. 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z
