    Description: Jonzen et al. (Reports, 30 June 2006, p. 1959) proposed that the rapid advance of spring migration dates of long-distance migrants throughout Europe reflects an evolutionary response to climate change. However, most migrants should not advance their migration time because the phenology of their breeding grounds has not changed. It is more likely that migration speed has changed in response to improved environmental circumstances.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Both, Christiaan -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2007 Feb 2;315(5812):598; author reply 598.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Animal Ecology Group, Centre of Ecological and Evolutionary Studies, University of Groningen, Post Office Box 14, 9750AA Haren, Netherlands. c.both@rug.nl〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17272705" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: We computed receiver functions of teleseismic events that occurred within a distance of 35–90° and were recorded in central Italy by 15 temporary stations and 1 permanent station. In the receiver functions we identified the P-to-S phase converted at the Moho discontinuity beneath each station and estimated crustal thickness from the time delay of this phase with respect to the direct P arrival. For the temporary stations this relatively simple approach is justified given their limited recording period. To the permanent station we also applied the slant stacking technique to try to constrain the bulk crustal Vp/Vs and validate our estimate of crustal thickness. Our results show that, in central Italy, the Moho is shallow (∼22 km) beneath the Tyrrhenian margin of the peninsula and deepens toward the east. Beneath the central Apennines, Moho depth ranges from 39 to 47 km. The thickest crust matches the highest topography. At the Tremiti islands, in the Adriatic Sea, crustal thickness is 33 km. While our Moho depths beneath the Tyrrhenian side of the peninsula and the Adriatic Sea are in agreement with previous results, a new result of this study is the crustal thickening beneath the central Apennines. This leads to the conclusion that the central Apennine topography is supported by a significant crustal root.

    Description: The present-day stress field and its recent tectonic evolution in the Northern Apennines are reconstructed from borehole breakout analysis and focal mechanisms of crustal earthquakes and through the comparison with paleostress data. We have considered 86 wells for breakout analysis, with depths down to 6–7 km, 125 fault plane solutions of crustal earthquakes with M〈5 that occurred between 1988 and 1995 in the Northern and Central Apennines, and data of stronger earthquakes (M≤6) reported in other studies. The Tyrrhenian coastal region and the Apenninic belt are characterized by Shmin direction mainly trending NE-SW, with predominantly normal fault plane solutions. Along the outer front of the belt and the Adriatic offshore, Shmin is oriented NW-SE, and focal solutions are thrust or strike-slip, with maximum compression around NE-SW. Conversely, south of 43°N, breakouts evidence an orthogonal direction of horizontal compression (NW-SE), following the Southern Apennine trend, where a widespread NE-SW extension was recognized by previous investigations. Comparing these results to the recent tectonic evolution inferred from structural geology, we argue that the extension-compression pair, characteristic of the post-Tortonian evolution of the mountain belt, has been migrating in time from late Miocene to Present only in the northern sector of the arc, whereas the southern sector underwent a generalized extension, at least since middle Pleistocene. The striking correspondence between the active compression front and the region with evidence of a remnant subducted slab suggests that the migrating extension-compression pair has been controlled by progressive retreat of the slab.

    Description: In Italy, the horizontal stress directions are well constrained in many regions, but the tectonic regime is not well known because the stress magnitudes are unknown. Our intention is to improve the knowledge of crustal stress in Italy, both at shallow depth and in low seismicity areas. Therefore, we inferred the tectonic regime from the comparison between the depth of breakout occurrence and the physical properties of the rocks in 20 boreholes. The critical value of the maximum horizontal stress, for which the effective tangential stress at the borehole wall overcomes the rock strength to form breakouts, could be computed from rock strength and density. Comparing the theoretical stress distributions for different tectonic regimes with the depth distribution of breakout occurrence, it is possible to infer the tectonic regime that fits best to the breakout depth distribution. We investigated boreholes up to 6 km deep located in different tectonic environments over the Italian peninsula: the Po Plain, the Apenninic chain, the Adriatic foredeep and the Tyrrhenian Quaternary volcanic region. These wells are characterised by breakout data of good quality (A, B and C, according to World Stress Map quality ranking system). The results are in general agreement with the style of faulting derived from earthquake focal mechanisms and other stress indicators. Our results show a predominance of a normal faulting (NF) regime in the inner Apennines and both normal faulting and strike–slip faulting (SS) style in the surrounding regions, possibly also associated with changes in the tectonic regime with depth.

    Description: We have analysed borehole breakout data from 12 deep wells in order to constrain the direction of the minimum and maximum horizontal stress in a part of the Po Plain, northern Italy, characterised by a N–S prevailing compressional stress regime, and in order to shed light on the regional state of stress and on the correlation between the active stress field and the orientation of tectonic structures. The results have been compared with seismological data relating to 1988–1995 crustal seismicity (2.5〈Md〈4.8) and to the 1983 Parma (Ms=5.0) and the 1996 Reggio Emilia (Ms=5.1) events. Plio-Pleistocene mesostructural data are also described in order to better define the present-day stress field and to understand the active tectonic processes in particular stress provinces. The borehole breakout analysis, in accordance with the seismicity and mesostructural data, shows the presence of a predominant compression area, characterised by approximately N–S maximum horizontal stress, along the outer thrust of the Ferrara arc. Particularly, the breakout analysis indicates a minimum horizontal stress, N81W±22° relative to a total of eleven analysed wells, with 3746 m cumulative total length of breakout zones. Among these, nine wells are located in the same tectonic structure, consisting of an arc of asymmetric folds overthrust towards the NE. The breakout results for these wells are quite similar in terms of minimum horizontal stress direction (E–W oriented). The other two wells are located in the outside sector of the arc and one of them shows a different minimum horizontal stress direction, probably distinctive of another tectonic unit. On the basis of these new reliable stress indicators, the active compressive front in this area is located along the termination of the external northern Apenninic arc.

    Description: A new high-resolution Apparent Polar Wander Path (APWP) segment has been obtained from the magnetostratigraphy of four Kimmeridgian to Lower Aptian sections in the Northern Apennines (Italy). The use of paleomagnetic data for determination of the Adria APWP was hampered by the large local rotations linked to Apennine tectonics, characterized by folds and thrusts developed during the Neogene. To overcome this problem, we have computed relative rotations between time overlapping sections and realigned them in a common declination reference frame (namely the Bosso section). We synthesized a new high-resolution 150 to 125 Ma APWP for Adria, which has a similar shape to the time-equivalent segment of the synthetic APWP of Africa of Besse and Courtillot [J., Besse, V., Courtillot, Apparent and true polar wander and the geometry of the geomagnetic field over the last 200 Myr, J. Geophys. Res. 107(B11) (2002), doi:10.1029/200JB000050]. A 26° clockwise rotation of our combined Adria APWP places it in almost perfect overlap with African data of same age, confirming that the Adria promontory moved coherently with Africa during this time span, whereas the counterclockwise rotation of Adria with respect to Africa was introduced later, most probably during Apennines orogenesis. Finally, we discuss in relation with worldwide plate evolution the peculiar shape of our APWP, which displays a hairpin turn during Berriasian time, and dates the main Late Jurassic/Early Cretaceous change in plate motion at around anomaly M16.

    Description: The Pergola-Melandro basin (southern Apennines) is characterized by a below-average release of seismic energy within a wider earthquake-prone region. In fact, it is placed between the maximum intensity areas of two of the most destructive earthquakes reported in the Italian seismic catalogue: theM≥7.0 Agri Valley earthquake in 1857 and the Ms = 6.9 Irpinia earthquake in 1980. In thiswork, we present geomorphologic analysis, electrical resistivity surveys and field data, including paleoseismologic evidence, that provided the first direct constraints on the presence of a∼20 kmlong, seismogenic fault at the western border of the Pergola-Melandro basin. We also obtained geological information on the recent deformation history of the Pergola-Melandro fault that indicates the occurrence of at least four surface faulting earthquakes since Late Pleistocene age. The empirical relationships linking fault length and magnitude would assign to the Pergola-Melandro fault an event of M≥6.5. These new data have important implication on the seismic hazard assessment of this sector of the Apennines, that also includes large cities such as Potenza, about 20 km far from the recognized Pergola-Melandro fault, and highlight the relevance of the geological approach in areas where the seismological records are poor. Finally, we discuss the Pergola-Melandro fault within the regional seismotectonic context. In particular, this fault belongs to the system of normal faults with an apenninic orientation, both NE and SW dipping, accommodating the NE-crustal extension taking place in the area. Nearby faults, similarly oriented but with opposite dip, may coexist whether linked by secondary faults that act as slip transfer structures. This complex system of active faults would be more realistic than a narrow band of faults running along the belt axis with an homogenous geometry, and moreover, it is more consistent with the high extension rate measured by historical earthquakes and geodetic data.

    Description: Several bird species have advanced the timing of their spring migration in response to recent climate change. European short-distance migrants, wintering in temperate areas, have been assumed to be more affected by change in the European climate than long-distance migrants wintering in the tropics. However, we show that long-distance migrants have advanced their spring arrival in Scandinavia more than short-distance migrants. By analyzing a long-term data set from southern Italy, we show that long-distance migrants also pass through the Mediterranean region earlier. We argue that this may reflect a climate-driven evolutionary change in the timing of spring migration.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Jonzen, Niclas -- Linden, Andreas -- Ergon, Torbjorn -- Knudsen, Endre -- Vik, Jon Olav -- Rubolini, Diego -- Piacentini, Dario -- Brinch, Christian -- Spina, Fernando -- Karlsson, Lennart -- Stervander, Martin -- Andersson, Arne -- Waldenstrom, Jonas -- Lehikoinen, Aleksi -- Edvardsen, Erik -- Solvang, Rune -- Stenseth, Nils Chr -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2006 Jun 30;312(5782):1959-61.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Theoretical Ecology, Ecology Building, Lund University, SE-22362 Lund, Sweden.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16809542" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Germline variants in MC1R, the gene encoding the melanocortin-1 receptor, and sun exposure increase risk for melanoma in Caucasians. The majority of melanomas that occur on skin with little evidence of chronic sun-induced damage (non-CSD melanoma) have mutations in the BRAF oncogene, whereas in melanomas on skin with marked CSD (CSD melanoma) these mutations are less frequent. In two independent Caucasian populations, we show that MC1R variants are strongly associated with BRAF mutations in non-CSD melanomas. In this tumor subtype, the risk for melanoma associated with MC1R is due to an increase in risk of developing melanomas with BRAF mutations.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Landi, Maria Teresa -- Bauer, Jurgen -- Pfeiffer, Ruth M -- Elder, David E -- Hulley, Benjamin -- Minghetti, Paola -- Calista, Donato -- Kanetsky, Peter A -- Pinkel, Daniel -- Bastian, Boris C -- K07 CA80700/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA025874-25-A1/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA5558/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA94963/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R33 CA95300/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2006 Jul 28;313(5786):521-2.

    Description: Mast seeding, the intermittent, synchronous production of large seed crops by a population of plants, is a well-known example of resource pulses that create lagged responses in successive trophic levels of ecological communities. These lags arise because seed predators are thought capable of increasing reproduction and population size only after the resource pulse is available for consumption. The resulting satiation of predators is a widely cited explanation for the evolution of masting. Our study shows that both American and Eurasian tree squirrels anticipate resource pulses and increase reproductive output before a masting event, thereby increasing population size in synchrony with the resource pulse and eliminating the population lag thought to be universal in resource pulse systems.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Boutin, Stan -- Wauters, Lucas A -- McAdam, Andrew G -- Humphries, Murray M -- Tosi, Guido -- Dhondt, Andre A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2006 Dec 22;314(5807):1928-30.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biological Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta T6G 2E9, Canada. stan.boutin@ualberta.ca〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17185600" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: In this paper we describe evidence of strong tectonic deformation affecting two aqueducts of Roman age (II–III century A.D.). The channels are located approximately 20 km northeast of Rome along the ancient Via Tiburtina. Brittle and ductile deformation affects these two structures, including extensional joint systems, NE-oriented faults, and horizontal distortion. This deformation is consistent with rightlateral movement on major N-striking faults, and represents the first evidence that tectonic deformation took place in historical times in the vicinity of Rome, with local strike–slip movement superimposed on a regional extensional fault system.
