Abstract We analysed the invasion history of two North American macrophytes ( Elodea canadensis and E. nuttallii ) in Italy, through an accurate census all available herbarium field records, dating between 1850 2019, a rich literature collection describing initial introduction naturalisation phase that supports results obtained by occurrence records. arrived Italy before 1866 had phases, 1890s 1920s 1990s 2000s; , probably 1970s, started invading 2000 is still ongoing.

We analysed the spatially explicit floristic information available in herbarium of Ulisse Aldrovandi (1551–1586) to track changes surroundings Bologna across five centuries. Aldrovandi's data were compared with Flora della Provincia di by Girolamo Cocconi (1883) and Floristic Database Emilia-Romagna (1965–2021). explored potential variations native range life forms composition, habitat affinity species three floras, also contrasting between alien species.

Essiccare le piante per scopo di studio, confronto e scambio fra studiosi era divenuto una prassi dalla prima metàdel XVI secolo grazie all’opera Luca Ghini, fondatore degli orti botanici Pisa Firenze. Fra i pochi erbari rinascimentali oggi conosciuti, quello Ulisse Aldrovandi occupa un posto primo piano quantità varietà dei campioni, giacché proprio in esso si trova delle primissime testimonianze a livello continentale – se non la assoluto molte specie d’uso corrente Europa, introdotte dal...

Abstract Identifying areas susceptible to invasion by an alien species is a strategy of prevention. We used national herbaria and global databases assess the trends two aquatic invasive Ludwigia hexapetala peploides subsp. montevidensis in Italy. defined status with invasions curves predicted potentially suitable Species Distribution Models based on WorldClim variables human footprint index. Low seasonal variation temperature precipitation, ≥ 20 °C warmest, driest wettest periods year...
Abstract At a European level, Tropaeolum minus is the first species of this genus that arrived in our continent, around 1570, immediately used as an ornamental, vegetable and pharmaceutical plant. According to Italian sources, instead, T. Italy only 1642: which was known at time majus , imported 1596. However, Renaissance herbaria, there are four specimens dated last decades 1500, clearly recognisable would confirm its import 1570. Thanks analysis these herbarium documental sources second...
