Annotated checklist of the beetles of chestnut agroforestry systems in Aspromonte, Southern Italy

The checklist contains 255 species of beetles which belong to 49 families. The species were collected during a field study carried out in the years 2017 and aimed at describing the community of beetles. The collection methods consisted of window flight traps. The study area included 3 sites, two coppice stands, young and mature (38.180221 N, 15.784308 E), and a traditional fruit orchard (38.06018 N, 15.781616 E), located in the Italian Southern Apennines on the borders of the Aspromonte National Park. The checklist is annotated with information on the taxonomy of the species (order and family), number of individuals, locality, habitat type (following EUNIS habitat classification 2017), sampling protocol, collector name, specialist name, IUCN Red List categories of the saproxylic species (Carpaneto et al. 2015).  The terms used for the dataset fields follows the Darwin Core Maintenance Group. 2020. List of Darwin Core terms. Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG). <a href="https://dwc.tdwg.org/list/">https://dwc.tdwg.org/list/</a> The Diversity of saproxylic beetle communities have been analysed and published (Parisi et al. 2020). The harmonization of the dataset to the point of view of taxa, authorship, LSID and the massive upgrading of the related identifiers in Zenodo record was performed by the use of R script using respectively dplyr, taxize (Chamberlain and Szöcs, 2013) and zen4r (Blondel and Barde, 2020) packages.

Dataset of Sentinel-1 surface soil moisture time series at 1 km resolution over Southern Italy

The dataset consists of a time series of the Sentinel-1 (S-1) surface soil moisture (SSM) product at 1 km spatial resolution validated in Balenzano et al. (2021 a) over the Southern Italy. The specifications of the S-1 SSM product are provided in Balenzano et al. (2021 b). The SSM time series was obtained in correspondence of the ascending (RON A146) S-1 Interferometric Wide swath (IW) acquisition dates from January 2015 to December 2018 with a temporal gap between consecutive of 6 days (when both S-1A and S-1B data are available) or 12 days. On each date (183 in total), two co-registered layers are provided: mean SSM [m3/m3] and its standard deviation [m3/m3], which provides the SSM uncertainty. The retrieval algorithm is a time series short term change detection (STCD) that is implemented in the “Soil MOisture retrieval from multi-temporal SAR data” (SMOSAR) code (Balenzano et al. 2013).

High-resolution earthquake catalog obtained through template-matching in the Southern Apennine (Italy)

This is an enhanced, high-resolution earthquake catalog obtained through template-matching (TM). It covers the area of the Southern Apennines (Italy), for the period 2009-2014 Starting from about 4000 events used as templates, TM allowed to detect the hidden, small-magnitude seismicity in the 0-1 magnitude range, allowing a significant decrease of the magnitude of completeness in the resulting earthquake catalog. The catalog contains: <ul> <li>templates (events catalogued by INGV and used as templates)</li> <li>template-matching detections (i.e. newly detected events by TM)</li> <li>events catalogued by INGV that are also found through template-matching</li> </ul> All events are located with the same 1-D velocity model obtained by averaging several models that have been proposed in the literature, covering different portion of the Southern Apennines.  DATA STRUCTURE id: id of event. Events detected by template-matching start with 'TM', otherwise the id is the same as in the official INGV catalog. lon: longitude (degrees) lat: latitude (degrees) depth: depth in km time: origin time M_l: local magnitude lon_error: error on longitude (degrees) lat_error: error on latitude (degrees) depth_error: error on depth (km) RMS: root-mean-square (sec) az_gap: azimuthal gap n_phases: total number of P and S arrivals  n_stations: total number of station recording the event mag_diff: difference in magnitude between detection and its template dt: difference in origin time between template and detected event (sec) templ_id: id of the template event as_template: =1 if the event was used as template, 0 otherwise matched_TM (for events already catalogued by INGV): =1 if the events matched a detection made by template matching, =0 otherwise matched_BSI: ==id of the corresponding event catalogued by INGV. For newly detected events (thus never catalogued before) this field is 'NA'

A pre-Campanian Ignimbrite techno-cultural shift in the Aurignacian sequence of Grotta di Castelcivita, southern Italy. Scientific Reports, 14: 12783. doi:10.1038/s41598-024-59896-6 (2024) Abstract: The Aurignacian is the first European technocomplex assigned to Homo sapiens recognized across a wide geographic extent. Although archaeologists have identified marked chrono-cultural shifts within the Aurignacian mostly by examining the techno-typological variations of stone and osseous tools, unraveling the underlying processes driving these changes remains a significant scientific challenge. Scholars have, for instance, hypothesized that the Campanian Ignimbrite (CI) super-eruption and the climatic deterioration associated with the onset of Heinrich Event 4 had a substantial impact on European foraging groups. The technological shift from the Protoaurignacian to the Early Aurignacian is regarded as an archaeological manifestation of adaptation to changing environments. However, some of the most crucial regions and stratigraphic sequences for testing these scenarios have been overlooked. In this study, we delve into the high-resolution stratigraphic sequence of Grotta di Castelcivita in southern Italy. Here, the Uluzzian is followed by three Aurignacian layers, sealed by the eruptive units of the CI. Employing a comprehensive range of quantitative methods—encompassing attribute analysis, 3D model analysis, and geometric morphometrics—we demonstrate that the key technological feature commonly associated with the Early Aurignacian developed well before the deposition of the CI tephra. Our study provides thus the first direct evidence that the volcanic super-eruption played no role in this cultural process. Furthermore, we show that local paleo-environmental proxies do not correlate with the identified patterns of cultural continuity and discontinuity. Consequently, we propose alternative research paths to explore the role of demography and regional trajectories in the development of the Upper Paleolithic.

Lake Pertusillo reservoir induced seismicity catalog (Southern Italy)

We present a detailed analysis of the small magnitude (ML<3) Reservoir Induced Seismicity associated with the Pertusillo water reservoir located in the high seismic hazard zone of Val d’Agri (Southern Italy).  We apply template-matching detection to a 13-month-long dense passive survey, obtaining a final high-precision double-difference catalog of 5,068 earthquakes (-0.7<ML<2.6, MC=0.2).  The original template dataset is composed of 408 hand-picked earthquakes, recorded during a 13-month-long (2005-2006) passive survey, at a dense network of 46 seismic stations (the average receiver spacing is 5 km) composed by: 22 temporary 3C continuously-recording stations of the temporary experiment described in Valoroso et al., [2009], plus 24 permanent INGV and ENI (the local oil company) stations, and accurately located in a 3D high-resolution VP and VP/VS velocity model [Improta et al., 2017].  The attached file is a plain text with a space as separator.  Here below the header is explained.
