“…They are therefore well-representative of periglacial environments (FitzPatrick, 1997;Van Vliet-Lanoë, 1998). Although such landforms and associated cryonival processes occur in the Sila uplands under present-day climatic conditions, and even past glacial traces (probably belonging to the Last Glacial Maximum) are present in adjacent sites of the massif (Palmentola et al, 1990), no clear evidence of cryogenic features in terms of diagnostic pedofeatures and structures has been recognised in soils around the Cecita Lake. Silt cappings and coatings, which are often interpreted as indicative of periglacial environments (Romans et al, 1966;FitzPatrick, 1956FitzPatrick, , 1997Kemp, 1998;Van Vliet-Lanoë, 1998), occur mainly in the buried Bw horizons of profile P3, and subordinately in the Bt horizon of P5 as well as in some surface A horizons of the other soils.…”

“…Indeed, at present, these mountains appear to maintain the two main population groups of STER separated from each other. Furthermore, the Pollino mountains maintained some glaciers until the Younger Dryas, 12 800–11 500 years BP (Palmentola, Acquafredda & Fiore, 1990). Thus, the beginning of the exponential phase of demographic growth, as detected by BSP, probably coincided with the crossing of Pollino Massif.…”

The Italian endemic genus Salamandrina has been historically regarded as monotypic but, recently, studies based on both mitochondrial and nuclear markers have indicated the existence of two distinct species of spectacled salamanders: Salamandrina perspicillata, in central and northern Italy, and Salamandrina terdigitata, in southern Italy. We analyzed nucleotide variation at mitochondrial and nuclear genes [cytochrome b, 12S and 16S rRNA, recombination activating gene (RAG 1)] in 223 individuals from 56 locations, aiming to investigate their genetic structure and recent evolutionary histories. Phylogenetic and phylogeographical analyses revealed the existence of three and two genetically distinct groups of populations in northern and southern salamander, respectively. Historical demographic analyses led to the inference of range expansion for both species in the late Pleistocene. During the last glacial stage, each salamander survived in a single refugium, namely the southern in Calabria and the northern in central Italy. At the end of this period, both lineages expanded northward and established secondary contact. Spatial distribution of RAG 1 haplotype variation revealed two differentiated population groups corresponding to the major mitochondrial (mt)DNA clades. Nuclear pattern of introgressive hybridization was more extensive than the highly limited introgression of mtDNA markers. From a conservation standpoint, southern Latium and Calabria proved to be the major genetic diversity reservoirs, thus deserving particular conservation effort

“…In higher areas of Basilicata, e.g. Monte Pollino and Monte Sirino, the cold climate caused the formation of small glaciers (Boenzi and Palmentola, 1972;Palmentola et al, 1990;Jaurand, 1994). In our study area the barren landscape probably favoured erosive processes, which produced the slope pediment connecting the hilltops to the T1 terrace.…”
