The bush cricket Saga pedo, listed as Vulnerable globally by the IUCN and included in Annex IV of EU Habitats Directive, is a parthenogenetic species highly sensitive to environmental changes, facing threats from forest expansion agricultural intensification. S. pedo prefers dry, open habitats with sparse vegetation, its pronounced thermo-heliophily makes it an indicator xerothermic habitats. In many areas Italy, including Northern Apennines (Piedmont), semi-natural grasslands are...
Understanding biogeographical patterns is a challenging task, particularly in the case of poorly studied organisms, whose phylogenetic affinities and ecological needs are not yet understood. Such common among invertebrates insects, extensive diversity may hamper full deep comprehension their evolutionary patterns. Within orthopterans also represent relatively group. Building knowledge upon biogeography evolution provide key insights to conservation, especially range-restricted taxa that...
Abstract The expansion of forest cover and intensification agriculture represent the main threats to bush cricket Saga pedo , currently listed as Vulnerable globally by IUCN included in Annex IV European Union Habitats Directive. Gathering information on its ecology population size is challenging due low abundance localized distribution. Additionally, elusive cryptic behavior this species reduces likelihood detection, potentially resulting underestimations. Thus, study, we aimed (1) estimate...
In this contribution, new data concerning the distribution of native vascular flora in Italy are presented. It includes records, confirmations, and exclusions to Italian administrative regions. Nomenclatural updates, published elsewhere, corrigenda provided as supplementary material.
