WWF Italia: il primo rapporto sulla Biodiversità 3 - 12 - 2013WWF ITALIA
La ricchezza della vita sulla terra, lo stato della biodiversità, le nuove scoperte, le situazioni critiche e le misure urgenti da prendere, i numeri e le curiosità dal mondo naturale da cui la nostra stessa vita dipende: sono questi i temi caldi affrontati in questo importante studio

I celenterati, o cnidari, rappresentano un phylum marino poco evoluto dal punto di vista della complessità morfologica. Le specie presenti risultano essere prive di scheletro con una locomozione perlopiù passiva dettata dalle correnti marine. Una caratteristica peculiare dei celenterati è data dalla differente morfologia che varia in base alla fase della loro vita; la forma, difatti, varia in base al ciclo vitale e riproduttivo che è di tipo metagenico.
Andrea baucon, corso di paleoecologia lezione 8 - laguneAndrea Baucon
The slides are part of the "Palaeoecology: methods and applications" course taught by Andrea Baucon at the University of Genoa.
OVERVIEW
The activities are aimed at providing practical and theoretical tools to reconstruct the depositional environment based on the paleontological aspects (fossils, ichnofossils) of sedimentary successions. The teaching program follows a paleoecological transect from continental environments to abyssal plains, passing through deserts and coral reefs. For each depositional environment, the characteristic paleoecological properties are discussed, illustrating how to recognize, describe and interpret them.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
The student will acquire the ability to reconstruct the depositional environment based on the paleontological aspects (fossils, icnofossils) of a sedimentary succession.
SYLLABUS / CONTENT
1. PALEOENVIRONMENTAL TOOLS: the paleoecological investigation; taphonomy applied to environmental reconstruction; ichnofacies; ichnofabric; facies analysis; technical-scientific reports;
2. CONTINENTAL ENVIRONMENTS: paleoecology and paleoenvironments of desert, lake, river, alluvial plain, glacial and volcanoclastic settings;
3. SHALLOW MARINE ENVIRONMENTS: paleoecology and palaeoenvironments of beach, tidal plain, lagoon, strandplain, chenier plain, rocky coast, shelf, and carbonatic settings;
4. TRANSITIONAL ENVIRONMENTS: paleoecology and paleoenvironments of estuarine and deltaic settings;
5. DEEP MARINE ENVIRONMENTS: paleoecology and paleoenvironments of slope and abyssal plain settings;
Fieldwork activity: paleoecological analysis of fossil-bearing sedimentary successions
AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES
The student will be able to:
• Define the ecological characteristics of a fossil association and their paleoenvironmental implications;
• Recognize, classify and interpret the main ichnofossils present in marine, transitional and continental sedimentary successions;
• Integrate paleontological and sedimentological information;
• Interpret the depositional environment of a sedimentary succession, based on both outcrop and core data;
• Compile summary documents such as technical-scientific reports and graphic representations of paleoenvironments

Missione speciale quest’anno per la Giornata delle Oasi WWF prevista domenica 18 maggio: le aree protette del WWF scendono in campo per salvare l’Oasi del Mondo, la grande foresta Amazzonica che negli ultimi 50 anni ha perso quasi un quinto della sua superficie, compresi animali e risorse naturali preziose per le popolazioni locali e di tutto il pianeta. Da domani e per due settimane (1-18 maggio) sarà possibile salvare dalla deforestazione un’area chiamata Triangolo Verde con sms o chiamata da fisso al 45505 a supporto della campagna ‘Vuoi che l’Amazzonia sparisca? Aiutaci a salvare l’oasi del Mondo’
