Journal ArticleDOI
Machine learning ensemble modelling as a tool to improve landslide susceptibility mapping reliability
Mariano Di Napoli,Francesco Carotenuto,Andrea Cevasco,Pierluigi Confuorto,Diego Di Martire,Marco Firpo,Giacomo Pepe,Emanuele Raso,Domenico Calcaterra +8 more
TL;DR: The improved reliability of Ensemble modelling confirms the efficacy and suitability of the proposed approach for decision-makers in land management at local and regional scales.
Journal ArticleDOI
The blue lizard spandrel and the island syndrome
Pasquale Raia,Fabio Maria Guarino,Mimmo Turano,Gianluca Polese,Daniela Rippa,Francesco Carotenuto,Daria Maria Monti,Manuela Cardi,Domenico Fulgione +8 more
TL;DR: It is contended that when population density is either low or fluctuating annually as a result of environmental unpredictability, it may be advantageous to individuals to behave more aggressively, to raise their rate of food intake, and allocate more energy into reproduction.
Journal ArticleDOI
The shape of contention: adaptation, history, and contingency in ungulate mandibles.
Pasquale Raia,Pasquale Raia,Francesco Carotenuto,Carlo Meloro,Paolo Piras,Paolo Piras,Diana Pushkina,Diana Pushkina +7 more
TL;DR: A strong phylogenetic effect was obtained in perissodactyls, suggesting that their mandible shape should be strongly inherited, and Digestive strategy is deemed to interplay with hypsodonty to produce different paths of adaptation to particular diets in ungulates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological Specialization in Fossil Mammals Explains Cope’s Rule
TL;DR: An explicit and phylogenetically informed analysis of body size evolution in Cenozoic mammals shows that body size increases significantly in most inclusive clades, and significant pulses in origination of large-sized species are concentrated in periods of global cooling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Venturing out safely: The biogeography of Homo erectus dispersal out of Africa
Francesco Carotenuto,N. Tsikaridze,Lorenzo Rook,David Lordkipanidze,Laura Longo,Silvana Condemi,Pasquale Raia +6 more
TL;DR: The modelled dispersal route suggests that H. erectus remained preferentially associated with low/middle latitude sites throughout its colonization history, pointing to the fact that predator avoidance may have conditioned its long-distance diffusion as it moved outside Africa.
