A Field-Based Adaptation of the Classic Morris Water Maze to Assess Learning and Memory in a Free-Living Animal

Free-living animals rely on cognitive functions, such as learning and memory, for numerous aspects of their survival.However, research involving these mechanisms is often limited to the laboratory where animals are far removed from natural influences.Here, we adapted the Morris Water Maze (MWM) for use in the field to test learning and memory of fr

Desoria calderonis sp. nov., a new species of alpine cryophilic springtail (Collembola: Isotomidae) from the Apennines (Italy), with phylogenetic and ecological considerations

We describe and delimit with integrative taxonomy the new springtail species Desoria calderonis sp.nov.(Collembola: Isotomidae).This cryophilic species is strictly linked to the supraglacial stony debris of the isolated Calderone glacier (Central Apennines, Italy), one of the southernmost glaciers of Europe.Desoria calderonis sp.nov.could belong to
