Abstract

During Miocene, the paleogeography of the central Mediterranean area underwent significant modifications under control of Plate Tectonics. The area here considered occupies a southern position, rougly coincident with the Calabria-Peloritan Arc (CPA), located at the intersection between the NW/SE-trending southern Apennines and the SE-trending Sicilian Maghrebides. Land mammal assemblages can profitably be used in the paleogeographic reconstructions. The late Miocene assemblages form Central Italy and Sardinia allowed the recognition of the Tusco-Sardinia bioprovince as an isular domain for the endemic character of the fauna. The same conclusion has been reached for the Apulo-Abruzzi bioprovince, considered as an island during late Miocene. The recent studies on the mammal assemblage from Cessaniti (Calabria) revealed a continental character of the fauna, probably related to a land connection to Africa. The same datum comes from the assemblages of Gravitelli, Messinian in age, and from Monte Pellegrino (indirect datum). The Calabria-Sicily area can be considered a new bioprovince in the central Mediterranean during late Miocene.

卡拉布里亚和西西里岛中新世晚期哺乳动物对地中海中部古地理的贡献

中新世，在板块构造的控制下，地中海中部地区的古地理发生了重大变化。这里考虑的区域位于南部位置，大致与卡拉布里亚-佩洛里坦弧(CPA)一致，位于西北/东南走向的南亚平宁山脉和东南走向的西西里马格里布德山脉之间的交汇处。陆地哺乳动物群落可用于古地理重建。晚中新世意大利中部和撒丁岛的组合使得托斯卡-撒丁岛生物省被认为是动物群特有特征的一个独立领域。在中新世晚期被认为是一个岛屿的Apulo-Abruzzi生物省也得出了同样的结论。最近对塞斯尼提(卡拉布里亚)哺乳动物群的研究显示，该动物群具有大陆特征，可能与非洲陆地连接有关。同样的基准面来自于格拉威利、迈西尼亚和蒙特·佩莱格里诺(间接基准面)的组合。卡拉布里亚-西西里岛地区可以被认为是晚中新世地中海中部的一个新的生物省。

期刊介绍： This journal is of a multi- and inter-disciplinary nature and covers a broad range of fields including mathematics, computer science, physics, chemistry, biology, earth sciences, and their intersection. History of science is also included within the topics addressed by the journal. The transactions of the Pelorian Academy started out as periodic news sheets containing the notes presented by the members of the Divisions into which the Academy has been and still is organized, according to subject areas. The publication of these notes for the Division (“Classe”) of Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences is the responsibility of the Editorial Committee, which is composed of the Director of the division with the role of Chairman, the Vice-Director, the Secretary and two or more other members. Besides original research articles, the journal also accepts texts from conferences and invited talks held in the Academy. These contributions are published in a different section of the journal. In addition to the regular issues, single monographic supplements are occasionally published which assemble reports and communications presented at congresses, symposia, seminars, study meetings and other scientific events organized by the Academy or under its patronage. Since 2004 these transactions have been published online in the form of an open access electronic journal.
