Fig. 1. Currently known distribution of the Iberian ant-like Tachydromia Meigen, 1803. Each dot represents a presence point, with each colour corresponding to a different species. When two species co-occur in the same area, their presence is represented by a smaller dot on top of a dot of regular dimension, each of those with the colour corresponding to the co-occurring species. The dots surrounded by a black circle with a vertical line represent localities previously known.

Fig. 2. Maximum-likelihood tree (ln L = -29397.646621) based on the combined dataset (COI, nontrimmed 28S,12S, AATS and PGD) using Garli ver. 2.01.1067 and the structural alignment for 28S. Bootstrap support values (below) and Bayesian posterior probabilities (above) are depicted at the nodes (only> 50 or> 0.5, respectively). Abbreviations: BS = Bootstrap support values; PP = Bayesian posterior probabilities. A greyscale is used to highlight the ingroup, where the darkest shade of grey highlights the Iberian flightless ant-like species of Tachydromia Meigen, 1803, followed by a lighter shade which includes T. apterygon Plant & Deeming, 2006, hence representing all the flightless species occurring in southern Europe and, finally, the lighter shade covers all Tachydromia analysed, including the macropterous species assigned to different species groups sensu Chvála (1970). The white bar indicates the species originally assigned to genus Pieltainia Arias, 1919, while the grey bars indicate the taxa originally assigned to genus different species-groups sensu Chvála (1970).

A QUESTIONNAIRE FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF VIOLENT BEHAVIORS IN YOUNG COUPLES: THE ITALIAN VERSION OF DATING VIOLENCE QUESTIONNAIRE (DVQ)

In the last years, intimate partner violence (IPV) became a relevant problem for community and for social life, particularly in young people. Its correct assessment and evaluation in the population is mandatory. Our objectives were: Confirm factor structure of Dating Violence Questionnaire (DVQ) and investigate its convergent and divergent validity. The DVQ along with other personality measures were filled by a sample of 418 university students (Females = 310) of average age of 23 y.o. (SD = 4.71). A subsample of participants (223 students) consented in being involved also in retest and filled also the Revised Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (short form) and a brief scale for describing the behavior of the (past) partner after the breaking of the relationship (BRS). The 8-factor structure, with respect to the two other competing models, reported better fit indexes and showed significant correlations with other personality measures. Personality traits, both Neuroticism and Psychoticism, correlated with Sexual Violence, while Detachment correlated only with Neuroticism and Coercion, Humiliation and Physical Violence correlated with only Psychoticism. Extraversion did not report significant relationships with any of the 8 DVQ factors. Also the predictive validity of DVQ was satisfactory with the partner violent reaction to the break of relationship predicted positively predicted by Coercion (b = 0.22) and by Humiliation (b = 0.20) and negatively by Emotional Punishment (b = -0.18). The present results indicate a good factor structure of the questionnaire, and interesting correlations with personality traits, allowing to identify psychological aspects with a predisposing role for anti-social aggressive behaviors. Further studies will be aimed at ascertaining other possible determinants of intimate partner violence and the weight of cultural aspects.

Orthology guided transcriptome assembly of Italian ryegrass and meadow fescue for single nucleotide polymorphisms discovery (data set)

Transcriptome sequencing was performed on ten samples (corresponding to six genotypes) of Festuca pratensis and ten samples (corresponding to six genotypes) of Lolium multiflorum and fourteen samples of Lolium perenne (corresponding to fourteen genotypes). Using the OGA approach, 18,952 non-redundant F. pratensis transcripts were assembled by combining the contigs of all six genotypes based on orthology with the Brachypodium distachyon proteome. Similarly, 19,036 non-redundant L. multiflorum transcripts were assembled and annotated. In total, 17,455 orthologous transcripts were shared between the transcriptomes of the two species. Out of these, 16,613 orthologous transcripts overlap with the previously published L. perenne transcriptome containing 19,279 non-redundant transcripts(fasta files). We identified SNPs, the following criteria were used to classify it as one of following three classes (1) intraspecific SNPs (INTRA), (2) interspecific SNPs in two-way comparison (INTER-2W) and (3) interspecific SNPs in three-way comparison (INTER-3W) (GFF files).

Fig. 3. Results of the non-metric multidimensional scaling (nMDS, Bray – Curtis with similarity index), for the females (left) and males (right) conducted separately. The following variables were considered: subcaudals, crown scales, apicals, perioculars, parietals and loreals (only on the right side because V. walser show a much higher degree of asymmetry on loreal scales count, compared to V. berus). The analysis was carried out on V. walser and three groups of V. berus having the same number of samples, in order to evaluate intraspecific variability. V. walser are in red. The graphs show V. walser to be well differentiated in respect to the three groups of V. berus, which are mostly overlapping.
