Abstract:
The imposing and romantic remains of the Tiberian palace on the eastern heights of Capri are now visited by relatively few people, and it is often possible to wander among the ruins for an hour or more without meeting another soul. Yet for about a decade, from A.D. 27 to 37, this villa seems to have been the principal residence of the emperor of the Roman world, and Capri, together with Rome, the administrative centre of that world. As imperial residence, as administrative centre, and as a typical Campanian villa, this and the other imperial buildings on Capri must have been thronged with people, from the emperor's family and friends to the palace staff to administrative personnel. It is the purpose of this paper to consider Tiberius' stay on Capri in various contexts, especially that of the people who were on the island with him, in order to understand more clearly what his life there was like.

Abstract:
Some migratory birds have advanced their spring arrival to Northern Europe, possibly by increasing the speed of migration through Europe in response to increased temperature en route. In this paper we compare the phenology of spring arrival of seven trans-Saharan migrants along their migration route and test for patterns indicating that migration speed varied over the season using long-term data collected on the Italian island of Capri and at Ottenby Bird Observatory, Sweden. There was a linear relationship between median arrival dates on Capri and at Ottenby. The slope was not significantly different from one. On average, the seven species arrived 15 days later at Ottenby compared to Capri. There was a (non-significant) negative relationship between the species-specific arrival dates at Capri and the differences in median arrival dates between Capri and Ottenby, possibly indicating a tendency towards faster migration through Europe later in the season. To what extent different species are able to speed up their migration to benefit from the advancement of spring events is unknown.

Abstract:
We trapped birds on the island of Capri, SW Italy, during February and earliest March 2002—2004 and in November—December 2004. The trapped birds were ringed, and common biometrical parameters measured. In total 247 birds of 17 species were trapped, a rather limited number, whereof c. 70% were either European Robins Erithacus rubecula, Blackcaps Sylvia atricapilla, Sardinian Warblers Sylvia melanocephala or Chiffchaffs Phylloscopus collybita. Although the majority of birds handled were probably settled winterers, variations in the trapping figures and cases of high body masses and fat scores suggested that in late November and December some birds may still have been en route for areas further south – and that already in late February some, particularly evident in Chiffchaffs, were on their way north again. The comparatively mild winter climate on the island of Capri may be mirrored by the lower body masses of Robins trapped by us there, compared to birds wintering on the Italian mainland which probably put on some extra fat as insurance against spells of cold weather.

Abstract:
Migratory birds are assumed to be under strong selection pressure during migration. It is generally assumed that many species are maximizing speed of migration because of the benefits from arriving early at the breeding grounds. Males’ incentives are to occupy the best territories before they are occupied by competitors. Females breeding early usually have a greater reproductive success. In this study, the stopover behaviour of the Wood Warbler is studied on Capri, a Mediterranean island in southwest Italy. Movements of birds on the island are from higher elevations with sparse vegetation, where they presumably arrive, to low elevations with more dense vegetation. Males were found to migrate earlier than females, but were also staying much shorter time than females on the island. Males were estimated to stay on average slightly more than one hour whereas females stayed on average thirteen hours. The results suggest that Capri is not an important refueling site for the Wood Warbler and that males are more inclined to quickly leave this poor stopover site than females.

Abstract:
The CNR, within the “Masgaba” project, contributes to the archaeological mapping of Capri. This initiative involves survey activities, historical-architectural studies, and the creation of detailed graphic documentation integrated into a Geographic Information System (GIS). Surveys employ advanced technologies, such as laser scanning and photogrammetry. The resultant 3D models contribute to site documentation and analysis. This study advocates the use of a methodological approach reliant on precise measurements and thorough planimetric surveys achieved through instrumental techniques to investigate and comprehend archaeological remnants with a high degree of certainty. By combining this with careful examination of walls and construction techniques, historical phases and space functions can be defined. The examination of three archaeological sites in Capri, Grotta dell’Arsenale, Villa of Gradola, and Villa of Damecuta, exemplifies this approach.

Abstract:
Mycoplasma mycoides subspecies capri (Mmc) is one of the six Mycoplasma mycoides cluster (Mm cluster) members, which can cause “MAKePS” (Mastitis, Arthritis, Keratoconjunctivitis, Pneumonia, Septicemia) syndrome in ruminants. These symptoms can occur alone or together in individuals or flocks of goats. However, little is known about the epidemic Mmc strains in Hainan Island, China. We aimed to isolate the endemic Mmc strains in Hainan Island and reveal their molecular characteristics by genomic sequencing and comparative genomics to mitigate the impact of Mmc on local ruminant farming. Here, the Mmc HN-A strain was isolated and identified for the first time in Hainan Island, China. The genome of Mmc HN-A was sequenced. It contains a 1,084,691 bp-long circular chromosome and 848 coding genes. The genomic analysis of Mmc HN-A revealed 16 virulence factors, 2 gene islands, and a bacterial type IV secretion system protein VirD4. Comparative genomics showed that the core genome of the five Mycoplasma mycoides contained 611 genes that could be exploited to develop drugs and endemic vaccines. Additionally, 36 specific genes were included in the Mmc HN-A genome, which could provide the possibility for the further control and prevention of the Mmc effects on local ruminants and enrich the information on Mmc strains.

Abstract:
The Capri Bird Observatory is situated in Castello Barbarossa, an old fortification overlooking the Bay of Naples in southwestern Italy. The observatory was founded in 1956 by the Swedish Ornithological Society in cooperation with Villa San Michele. Until the mid- 1980s it was entirely a Swedish venture, whereafter also Italian ornithologists joined, first the LIPU bird protection organization, later the ringing center in Bologna through its Piccole Isole project. The aim was to study bird migration between winter quarters in tropical Africa and breeding areas around the Baltic Sea. The main concern has been spring migration, when many birds make landfall on the island after having crossed the Mediterranean. But work has also been done in autumns, and in later years even in winters. To the general study of bird migration, including ringing and the sampling of various biometric and phenological parameters, have been added more specialized studies, like visual observations of raptor migration, experiments on bird orientation, and sampling for the study of bird-born diseases. Recently, studies of butterfly migration have been added to the agenda.

Abstract:
This paper presents and analyses autumn migration data on phenology and biometrics for 12 species of birds trapped at the Capri Bird Observatory, south-western Italy. The material has been collected over 15 years, mainly in two periods, 1959—1963 and 1994—2004. The passage of trans-Saharan migrants (like the Garden Warbler Sylvia borin) peaks in late September and these birds generally carry moderate to large fat stores, some probably large enough for the full journey to just south of the desert. The short-distance migrants that are mainly due to winter in the Mediterranean region (like the Robin Erithacus rubecula) arrive later, around the beginning of October, and carry less fuel deposits. Mainly resident birds (like the Sardinian Warbler Sylvia melanocephala) do not build up any substantial fat reserves and their phenologies do not indicate much migratory movement.

Abstract:
Abstract When Sejanus persuaded Tiberius to retire to the island of Capri, Aulus Vitellius, at the beginning of his teenage years, was an early arrival at the new court. To gossips who weren’t there he was one of the emperor’s playmates for princes, an object for sexual pursuit. He was one of many, it was said, no one special. Lucius Vitellius bought a house on Capri of his own. As a rising man of palace administration he needed to stay in touch. His brother, Publius, undamaged by either his near disaster in the sea marshes of Germany or his defence work for Agrippina, was close to Sejanus. Young Aulus, son of a third generation of servants, discouraged from an army career by the auguries at his birth, was deemed ideal to be a spintria, a brothel boy for sexual entertainments.

Abstract:
Abstract On returning to Rome, Caligula’s mother Agrippina and his two elder brothers, Nero and Drusus, were the targets of an intense campaign by the notorious prefect of the Praetorian guard Sejanus. His mother and brothers were implicated in some sort of plot and eventually all died in custody. Caligula first went to live with his great-grandmother, Livia, the widow of Augustus, in ad 27. On her death in ad 29 he joined another great-grandmother, the much admired Antonia the Younger, and then in ad 31 was summoned to join Tiberius, who had earlier left Rome permanently to live mainly on the island of Capri. There Caligula was readied for a public career and married his first wife, Junia Claudia, who died soon after. He also became acquainted with two significant figures, Herod Agrippa, the colourful grandson of Herod the Great, and Macro, commander of the Praetorian guard, who had played a key role in the downfall of Sejanus in ad 31. Tiberius died in ad 37. The sources claim that he was very frail and was finished off by Caligula and/or Macro.

Abstract:
Enough mammal specimens of Late Glacial date from the British Isles have been subjected to radiocarbon dating to provide a reliable outline of the likely large mammal fauna of the time, though the accompanying fauna of small mammals has mostly been assigned to this period on associative, rather than direct, dating. These give an adequate zoological background against which to examine the suggested identities of the large mammals depicted at Church Hole, Creswell Crags. This background information is reviewed in this chapter. While Bison priscus was certainly present earlier in the Devensian, there is no evidence that Bison returned to Britain in the Late Glacial, but aurochs (Bos primigenius) did so, and must be considered a more probable identification. The evidence that ibex (Capra ibex) ever occurred in Britain is very dubious, which cast serious doubt on the original identification of the Church Hole Panel III engraving as being of this species. In this case, discussion and reinterpretation of the engravings during the course of the conference suggested a better resolution than the zoological one suggested at the time. The ice of the Devensian glacial maximum, at about 20–18 ka BP, is believed to have covered all of northern Great Britain and Ireland, leaving smaller areas of the south of each island free of ice but occupied by tundra, permafrost, conditions. It is most unlikely that any of the present mammal fauna could have survived here then, though the possibilities that mountain hare (Lepus timidus) and stoat (Mustela erminea) did so must be conceded—both range well into the Arctic at the present day. The severity of the climate, and the likely nature of the mammal fauna, is indicated by the presence of musk ox (Ovibos moschatus) (Fisherton, Wiltshire, but undated) and the possible polar bear (Ursus maritimus) (Creag nan Uamh, Sutherland, 18.9 ka: Kitchener and Bonsall 1997) that date to this time. Barnwell Station, Cambridge, has a<sup>14</sup> C date on peat of 19.5 ka BP, and a fauna including woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius), woolly rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis), reindeer (Rangifer tarandus), and horse (Equus ferus). Dated specimens fromsouthern Ireland are also relevant: collared lemming (Dicrostonyx torquatus) at20.3 ka BP, woolly mammoth at 20.36 ka BP and Arctic fox (Alopex lagopus) at 19.95 ka BP, all from Castlepook Cave, Cork (Woodman et al. 1997).

Abstract:
The history of livestock grazing in the Jornada Basin of southern New Mexico is a relatively recent story, but one of profound implications. For four centuries this region has supported a rangeland livestock industry— initially sheep (Ovis aries), goats (Capra aegagrus hircus), and cattle (Bos taurus and Bos indicus), but primarily beef cattle for the past 130 years. Throughout this brief history of a domesticated ruminant in an ecosystem without a significant presence of large hoofed mammals as part of its evolutionary development, the livestock industry has continually grappled with high degrees of temporal and spatial variation in forage production. Management of this consumptive use, whether during Spanish, Mexican, U.S. territorial, U.S. federal, or New Mexican governments, has constantly reaffirmed the need for grazing management to be flexible and responsive to the stress of droughts. The history of anecdotal experiences has been more recently augmented by scientific investigations first initiated in 1915. This chapter outlines the general history of livestock in this region, defining characteristics of herbivory in arid lands, and principles of grazing management derived from nearly a century of studies on grazing by large domesticated herbivores. Seventeen ships carried 1,200 people and enough cattle, horses, sheep, and pigs to colonize northern Hispaniola during Columbus’s second voyage in 1493. Livestock originating from the Andalusian Plain of southern Spain were loaded aboard ship at the southern port of Cádiz and the Canary Islands before making the 22- day voyage (Rouse 1977). It was not until 1521 that Gregorio Villalobos unloaded livestock in New Spain (Mexico) near Tampico; the actual number of cattle and their origin are disputed. Rouse (1977) claimed that 50 calves were transported to the mainland from either Cuba or Hispaniola, whereas Peplow (1958) and Wellman (1954) claimed 6 animals arrived from Hispaniola. Irrespective of the initial numbers, livestock were soon moved north from the Mexico City area during the early sixteenth century with both missionaries and resource extraction industries as retired military officers and Spanish nobility built a mining- and grazing-based economy throughout the region of present-day northern Mexico.

Abstract:
The oldest medieval domus in Ravello date back to the twelfth century, as an evolution of the original house with barrel vaults, a primitive stone construction with walls of dry masonry of limestone and almost always connected to an olive grove or a vineyard, widespread on the Campania coasts between the island of Capri, the coast of Sorrento and that of Amalfi. Vertical and horizontal aggregations of this module have constituted, over time, the evolution of the building typology, while retaining some of the pre-existing architectural elements and the peculiar construction characteristics, including the strong link of this architecture with the particular orography of the territory. The private building complexes are the result of this ongoing process, consisting of various rooms connected to each other and arranged on several levels, in which the members of a single family lived with their servants. The entire structure was surrounded by walls and defended by towers. The interiors consisted of rooms heated by fireplaces, kitchens, furnaces, Arab baths, cisterns, wells, cellars, warehouses, stables, rooms for winemaking, gardens and cultivated terraces. The paper analyzes the history and construction features of one of the few medieval domus still existing and which has not undergone substantial transformations, also because it was brought to light only in the last decade of the twentieth century, currently located in the boundaries of Villa Rufolo in Ravello. Its original conformation is hypothesized, thanks also to a description made of it in the archive documents. The paper also reports the work carried out on the case study in order to undertake a cataloguing of a heritage in continuous discovery.
