Considerable morphological and ecological diversity has been found in extinct extant members of the bear genus, Ursus, appears to be key explaining how they have thrived across vast gradients. One example is cave Ursus spelaeus. We applied 2D geometric morphometric techniques describe changes mandibles species further interpret palaeoecology U. were discriminated using their mandibular morphology, which showed intra interspecific shape variation that was indirectly linked climatic...
Since the 1990s, Museo Regionale di Scienze Naturali Torino houses ornithological collection formerly belonging to Zoological Museum of University Turin (MZUT). This includes about 20,500 specimens, mostly dating from second half nineteenth century or early twentieth. The high number type-specimens gives it great historical and scientific significance. types have been described mainly by Tommaso Salvadori (171 taxa, 282 specimens) and, a lesser extent, other Italian authors such as Enrico...
This paper describes a series of activities carried out by public institutions, whose aim is to identify possible ways acquiring knowledge and allowing enjoyment the Piemonte Region's geological heritage. The concern inventory, evaluation, storage publication information, both alphanumerical geographical, in relation geosites. A database accessible directly from Web Web-GIS application has been developed order supply valuable comprehensive instruments for both, representing results research...

The historical ornithological collection of the Museum Zoology Torino University, now hosted at Museo Regionale di Scienze Naturali Torino, Italy (MRSN), includes more than 21,000 bird specimens and 500 complete skeletons representing c.6,000 taxa. IUCN Red List threatened species lists 256 as either extinct or endangered (‘E&E’) from throughout world. To provide a list those that should receive special care, well-established methodology was applied to produce 12 36 held in MRSN collection....
