“…Moreover, the reconstruction proposed by the authors [38] involves the occurrence of Diamante-Terranova ophiolites also below the Triassic phyllites and the carbonates; such a setting, not based on documented field evidence but on an inferred 'geometrical relationship' [38, p. 7] is at variance with the observations reported in all the previous literature. Finally, the Eocene/Oligocene initiation of metamorphism in the rocks of the upper plate contrasts with the Lower Miocene fossil content of some of the successions [14,21,40].…”

A new structural-stratigraphic synthesis of the Apennine units of northern Calabria is presented. The Meso-Cenozoic successions are grouped into two tectonic units, named Pollino-Ciagola Unit (PCU) and Lungro-Verbicaro Unit (LVU), comprising terrains formerly attributed to five different tectonic units. Fe-Mg carpholite and blue amphibole record HP-LT metamorphism in the LVU, followed by progressive decompression leading to final greenschist facies re-equilibration during dominantly extensional deformation. Final tectonic emplacement of the LVU over the PCU post-dated the metamorphism of the LVU and was accompanied by intense ductile deformation along zones of strain localisation in footwall rocks. All of the units were later affected by folding and minor thrusting during subsequent Apennine tectonics. To cite this article: A. Iannace et al., C. R.

Une nouvelle synthèse structurale et stratigraphique des Unités apenniniques de Calabre septentrionale est ici présentée. Les successions mésocénozoïques sont regroupées en deux unités tectoniques, désignées sous le nom de Pollino-Ciagola (PCU) et Lungro-Verbicaro (LVU), comprenant des formations antérieurement attribuées à cinq unités tectoniques différentes. La carpholite Fe-Mg et l'amphibole bleue témoignent d'un métamorphisme HP-LT dans la LVU, suivi par une décompression, conduisant à un rééquilibrage final en faciès schistes verts, pendant la déformation à dominante extensionnelle. L'emplacement tectonique final de la LVU sur la PCU post-date le métamorphisme de la LVU et a été accompagné d'une déformation ductile intense le long de zones de tension dans les roches du compartiment chevauché. Toutes ces unités ont été ultérieurement plissées et légèrement charriées lors de la tectonique apenninique.

“…Regarding the past distribution of the two species of chamois in Italy, the new data showing the occurrence of Rupicapra pyrenaica ornata in central Italy since MIS 3 casts serious doubts on the hypothesis of an anthropochorous origin of the extant population in central Italy. This hypothesis was discussed by Lovari (), Masseti (), Masseti and Nappi () and Masseti and Salari (,b) on the basis of archival sources and historical data. Indeed, it is known that in the 18th and 19th Centuries, several stocks of zoological species of different geographical origin were introduced into various royal hunting reserves of the Kingdom of Naples, which was dominated by the Bourbons (Martucci & Margozzi , Masseti , Masseti & Zava , Breber & Masseti ).…”

“…Indeed, it is known that in the 18th and 19th Centuries, several stocks of zoological species of different geographical origin were introduced into various royal hunting reserves of the Kingdom of Naples, which was dominated by the Bourbons (Martucci & Margozzi , Masseti , Masseti & Zava , Breber & Masseti ). Literary sources attest to the certain presence of chamois, between 1778 and 1805, in the Bourbon hunting reserves of Astroni, Capodimonte and the small island of Vivara, which was explicitly described as a station for the acclimatisation of the species (Caldora , Masseti & Nappi , Masseti & Salari ,, and references therein). It cannot be ruled out that some stock of Spanish chamois may have been imported to southern Italy with the specific purpose of improving the contemporary Apennine population, possibly drastically reduced since the 18th Century.…”

“…Also for this reason, alongside the above hypothesis on the evolutionary history of chamois and their distribution in the Late Pleistocene and Holocene of Italy, Masseti and Salari () once again brought up the alternative hypothesis of an anthropochorous origin of the extant chamois of Abruzzo. This assumption was mainly based on archival sources attesting the importation of several animal species, including chamois, from the Iberian Peninsula into various hunting reserves of the Kingdom of Naples in the 18th and 19th Centuries, when southern Italy was dominated by the Bourbons, intermarried with the Spanish royal family (Caldora , Masseti & Nappi ).…”

Two species of chamois currently live in Italy: Rupicapra rupicapra, with the subspecies Rupicapra rupicapra rupicapra, the Alpine chamois, and Rupicapra pyrenaica, with the subspecies Rupicapra pyrenaica ornata, the Apennine chamois. Late Pleistocene and Holocene remains of chamois are numerous, but those attributable with reasonable certainty at the species or subspecies level are few and are mostly poorly dated. The recent finding of a sub‐complete partially articulated skeleton of chamois attributed to Rupicapra pyrenaica ornata, from Late Pleistocene sediments of Grotta Mora Cavorso (Simbruini Mountains, central Italy), provides new data and insights on the taxonomy and distribution of the genus Rupicapra in the Late Pleistocene and Holocene of Italy. Indeed, so far this subspecies was known with certainty only from Holocene and, possibly, in Lateglacial deposits. From the current state of knowledge, it seems that the populations of southern chamois (Iberian and Apennine chamois), which had been living in Western Europe since the Middle Pleistocene, were separated by a dispersal wave of northern chamois (Alpine chamois) at least as far back as the latest Middle Pleistocene, earlier than previously thought. The hypothesis of the anthropochorous origin of the extant chamois population of Abruzzo appears no longer to be convincing: the Iberian chamois allegedly imported from Spain to southern Italy during the 18th and 19th Centuries do not appear to have contributed to the genetic heritage of the extant Apennine chamois.

“…Regarding R. pyrenaica ornata (Figure 5), the contradictions of the recent molecular biology studies mentioned above (see Introduction) do not yet afford a clear view of the issue, while recently the hypothesis was put forward of a non-indigenous origin of the Abruzzo chamois population, that could instead have been introduced from the Iberian Peninsula (see Lovari, 2001;Masseti, 2003;Masseti & Nappi, 2007). We can recall that, in relatively recent historical periods, southern Italy (and part of central) was a Spanish kingdom for at least two centuries and subsequently, between the 17 th and 19 th century, was dominated by the Bourbons, intermarried with the Spanish royal family.…”

Comparaciones morfológicos, eco-etológicas y paleontológicas realizadas hace varias décadas, ha permitido el reconocimiento de dos especies distintas de Rupicapra: la gamuza de los Alpes, Rupicapra rupicapra, y el rebeco de los Pirineos, Rupicapra pyrenaica, que ha sobrevivido en Italia hasta el presente solamente dentro de los límites del Parque Nacional de Abruzzo con la subespecie Rupicapra pyrenaica ornata. Aunque han pasado más de veinte años de la separación entre ambas especies, muchos de los estudios arqueozoológicos y paleontológicos de los materiales osteológicos del centro y sur de Italia parecen ignorar aún estos resultados, indicando los hallazgos frecuentemente con un genérico Rupicapra sp., cuando no se refieren directamente a la gamuza de los Alpes. El rebeco de los Apeninos, R. pyrenaica ornata, por lo tanto debe ser considerado una subespecie única de la península italiana, al menos a juzgar por los datos disponibles de la historia mantigua del Holoceno, pero se han formulado teorías recientes sobre un origen no indígena de la población del rebeco de Abruzzo.
