Inter-session variability of muscle synergies during upper limb elevation movements in healthy subjects

Valentina Lanzani, Francesco Scandelli, Federico Temporiti, Francesca Cappelletti et autres

Muscle synergies provide a framework to study motor control in healthy and clinical populations through electromyographic recordings during motor tasks. However, their variability has been poorly investigated. This study aimed to assess inter-session variability of muscle synergies during elevation tasks performed with …

Mercury Concentration and Distribution in Remiges, Rectrices, and Contour Feathers of the Barn Swallow Hirundo rustica

Luca Canova, Federica Maraschi, Roberto Ambrosini, Alessandra Costanzo et autres

Feathers are commonly used to monitor trace elements in birds, including heavy metals. Typically, a single feather is analyzed to avoid harming living birds, assuming it reflects the organism’s overall contamination. To verify this assumption, we analyzed mercury concentrations in 12 flight …

Thirty-eight years after: changes in the diet of the long-eared owl Asio otus in a protected area of NW Italy

Lorenzo Mazzocchi, Luca Canova

The diet of long-eared owls was studied by analyzing pellets collected in the winters of 1985 and 2021 in a protected areas of NW Italy. In 1985, the owl diet was dominated by the wood mouse Apodemus sylvaticus, birds (Ploceidae sp.), and …

Can the Wolf (Canis lupus) Thrive in Highly Anthropised Lowlands? First Habitat Suitability Analysis of the Po Plain, Italy

Luca Fardone, Martina Forlani, Luca Canova, Matteo De Luca et autres

) population in Europe has experienced a significant decline, primarily due to direct human persecution. However, recent conservation policies, combined with the species' remarkable ecological flexibility, have enabled a rapid recovery. This process, which now also extends to densely populated areas, is …

Analysis of Environmental Contamination by Metals Using Wood Mouse Apodemus sylvaticus Hair as a Biomonitor: An Appraisal

Luca Canova, Federica Maraschi, Antonella Profumo, Michela Sturini

This study assessed environmental metal and metalloids (TE) levels using hair of Apodemus sylvaticus as a non-lethal biomonitor. TE decreased as follows: Zn > Al > Fe > Cu > Pb > Cr > Ni > Mn > Cd > Se > …

From molecules to organisms: A multi-level approach shows negative effects of trace elements from sewage sludge used as soil improver on honeybees

Andrea Ferrari, Michela Sturini, Beatrice De Felice, F. Bonasoro et autres

The use of sewage sludge as a soil improver has been promoted in agroecosystems. However, sludges can contain toxic trace elements because of suboptimal wastewater treatment. Nonetheless, field studies investigating the negative effects of these practices on pollinators are lacking. We collected …

Local Variability of Trace Element Concentration in Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica) Nestlings from the Po Plain (Northern Italy)

Alessandra Costanzo, Michela Sturini, Federica Maraschi, Manuela Caprioli et autres

Birds are commonly used as bioindicators, and their feathers are considered suitable tissues for assessing the presence of contaminants, such as trace elements, in the environment. In agroecosystems, trace elements’ occurrence can be associated with both natural and anthropogenic processes, including vehicular …

Trace elements fingerprint of feathers differs between breeding and non-breeding areas in an Afro-Palearctic migratory bird, the barn swallow (Hirundo rustica)

Marco Túlio Parolini, Michela Sturini, Federica Maraschi, Antonella Profumo et autres

Trace elements are widespread contaminants that can potentially threaten ecosystems and human health. Considering their distribution and toxicity, monitoring their presence in animals represents a priority in environmental risk assessment. Migratory birds have been suggested to be useful biomonitors for trace elements …
