Their high content of proteins and polyunsaturated fatty acids make them a healthy source of nutrients, with potential applications in cardiovascular disease prevention. Flour-based diets are the most common feed, due to their affordability in mass-rearing conditions. Nevertheless, flour inhalation can sensitize people to asthma, increasing the risk of developing respiratory allergy among professional and domestic TML breeders. Herein, with the purpose to reduce allergens, we substituted flour-based feed with commercial pellets for young rabbit breeding. The pellets reduced the dustiness during filtration, improving safety during handling operations. Our results demonstrate that pellets can be used to breed TML without affecting their mortality or development. Interestingly, TML ameliorate growth performances increasing mean weight, total phenol content and antioxidant activity respect to the flour-based diet used as a control. Finally, fat content was comparable with the control group, but n6/n3 ratio was significantly reduced. Taken together our results strongly support the substitution of flour-based feed with commercial pellets.

Although the SAR based on literature data indicated that butterfly richness for this island was already well sampled (nine species recorded against 7.3 predicted by the model), during a four-day fieldwork in August 2023 we spotted 11 previously unrecorded butterfly species. We discussed that the evaluation of the SAR was largely affected by under sampling of small islands while faunal inventories of large islands appeared almost complete. This was also reflected by a very high slope (z ≈ 0.5) and an intercept (c ≈ 2) which appears quite low for Mediterranean butterflies. A SAR model only including large islands and those showing richness above the 95% confidence interval revealed more trustworthy c and z values (0.3 and 8, respectively). We conclude that evaluating SAR parameters using literature data which did not originate from specifically planned research in archipelagos comprising small islands could return unreliable predictions. Moreover, we documented that the current faunal list of Othoni island can be considered sufficiently accurate to reliably include this island in wider biogeographical analyses.

In 2013, a survey was carried out in three chestnut orchards near Florence (Italy) to investigate ACGW parasitization by native parasitoids and the introduced Torymus sinensis. The following two methods were adopted: the first based on the dissection of cynipid galls with the aim of inspecting cells within each gall and the second based on monitoring adult emergence from galls. Parasitization patterns due to gall position related to plant height were also evaluated. Native parasitoids were more abundant in the upper part of tree crowns in June, while in July and August their activity was more evident in the middle and lower parts of chestnut trees. Conversely, parasitization of T. sinensis, was detected at all plant heights. Plant position within stands also affected the performance of both native parasitoids and T. sinensis, with parasitization that progressively decreasead moving toward the interior of the orchards. Gall necrosis was equally evaluated as a limiting factor of ACGW survival. Among the isolated fungal species, Gnomoniopsis castaneae (Tamietti), an endophyte fungus harmful to fruits, colonized both healthy and necrotic galls together with ubiquitous components of fungal communities such as Alternaria sp., Aspergillus sp., Fusarium sp. and Colletotrichum fioriniae. Our results evidenced that T. sinensis was able control the ACGW, while native parasitoids played only a secondary, though non-negligible, role. Conversely, gall necroses had a minor impact on pest control, as their efficacy was limited to the early stages of gall development.

As the main result of the correlation analysis, the relationship between ladybirds and temperature was strong, especially during 2018 and 2019. The frequencies of morphs differed among years and seasons, and the number of individuals was more considerable with the aphids’ increased populations, especially in the spring (April and May). It coincides with the development of weeds in fields. H. variegata manifested with eighteen different morphs. According to the morphological criteria, the most common morph has 9 spots. Comparing the morphological criteria and genitalia, a sexual inversion was encountered, reaching 16.67% for males and 2.13% for females. It is supposed that the chemicals’ use and the temperature were the main factors that induce polymorphism and sexual inversion with H. variegata.
