Abstract:
We present an updated inventory of the vascular flora of the island of Montecristo (Tuscan Archipelago, Italy). The inventory has been updated based on a comprehensive bibliographical revision of floristic floras and previous inventories, together with the revision of herbarium specimens already preserved in Tuscan Herbaria and the implementation of survey campaigns carried out on the island between 2011 and 2024. The inventory counts 582 specific and subspecific taxa currently present on the island (including 515 spontaneous taxa and 67 cultivated ones), the highest number of species ever recorded on the island. Since 2000, 45 new to Montecristo Island, and 28 species confirmed after one century. We excluded 14 species, 8 of which were the result of a revision of herbarium material, which led to the correction of previous erroneous identification or due to the description of new taxa, such as Saxifraga montis-christi Mannocci, Ferretti, Mazzoncini & Viciani. The characterisation of the flora of Montecristo is consistent with the Mediterranean climate of the island in terms of life forms and chorotypes. The analysis showed that the main geographical distribution elements are Eurosiberian-Mediterranean and Mediterranean species, while the predominant life form is the therophyte. From a floristic point of view within the Tuscan Archipelago, Montecristo is the poorest island in terms of species and has the highest amount of endemism in relation to its surface area.

Abstract:
The Montecristo wild goat is an endangered feral population that has been on the homonymous island in the Tuscan Archipelago since ancient times. The origins of Montecristo goats are still debated, with authors dating their introduction either back to Neolithic times or between the 6th and 13th century of the Common Era. To investigate the evolutionary history and relationships of this population we assembled a 50K SNP dataset including 55 Mediterranean breeds and two nuclei of Montecristo goats sampled on the island and from an ex situ conservation project. Diversity levels, gene flow, population structure, and genetic relationships were assessed through multiple approaches. The insular population scored the lowest values of both observed and expected heterozygosity, highlighting reduced genetic variation, while the ex situ nucleus highlighted a less severe reduction. Multivariate statistics, network, and population structure analyses clearly separated the insular nucleus from all other breeds, including the population of Montecristo goats from the mainland. Moreover, admixture and gene flow analyses pinpointed possible genetic inputs received by the two Montecristo goat nuclei from different sources, while Runs of Homozygosity (ROHs) indicated an ancient bottleneck/founder effect in the insular population and recent extensive inbreeding in the ex situ one. Overall, our results suggest that Montecristo goats experienced several demographic fluctuations combined with admixture events over time and highlighted a noticeable differentiation between the two nuclei.

Abstract:
<em>Update to the knowledge of aquatic beetles of the Tuscan Archipelago (Coleoptera)</em>. This paper is an update of a previous contribution on the aquatic beetles of the Tuscan Archipelago (Rocchi <em>et al.</em>, 2014). The list includes 101 taxa (species and subspecies): 3 Gyrinidae, 3 Haliplidae, 1 Noteridae, 32 Dytiscidae, 4 Helophoridae, 1 Georissidae, 2 Hydrochidae, 32 Hydrophilidae, 19 Hydraenidae, 2 Elmidae, 1 Dryopidae, 1 Heteroceridae. The family Georissidae is recorded for the first time from the Tuscan Archipelago; 1 species from Tuscany, 8 from the Tuscan Archipelago, 2 from Capraia Island, 10 from Elba Island, 1 from Giglio Island, 5 from Montecristo Island, 1 from Cerboli Islet, and 1 from Palmaiola Islet are first records for these areas; the opaque form of the female <em>Bidessus saucius</em> (Desbrochers des Loges, 1871) is recorded for the first time from Italy (Montecristo Island and Sardinia).

Abstract:
Meladema Laporte, 1835 is a genus of large diving beetles, found in the Western Palaearctic, from the Canary Islands and Madeira to western Turkey (Bilton &amp; Ribera 2017). The genus currently contains four species: the widespread M. coriacea Laporte, 1835, distributed from the Canary Islands to Turkey and ranging from southern France and the central Balkans south to the central Sahara, two Atlantic Island endemics, M. imbricata (Wollaston, 1871) from the western Canary Islands and M. lanio (Fabricius, 1775) from the main island of Madeira, and a fourth, recently described species, M. lepidoptera Bilton &amp; Ribera, 2017 from the Tyrrhenian Islands (Corsica, Sardinia, Elba, Montecristo) and parts of the Italian mainland (Bilton &amp; Ribera 2017).

Abstract:
Several authors stated that a "goats from the - not better identified - kingdom of Montenegro" were imported by king Vittorio Emanuele III on the small Tyrrhenian island of Montecristo at the end of the 19<sup>th </sup>century, with the aim of restocking the local big game. The Italian king had very close relations with this Balkan state and, in 1896, Montecristo became the honeymoon destination of him (at that time crown prince) and Elena, the daughter of the ruler of Montenegro. After 1899, the island became a royal hunting ground for Vittorio Emanueles exclusive use. It cannot be excluded that a legend of the importation of Montenegrin goats onto the small Tyrrhenian island was probably born at that time. The question arises as to what species this caprine from Montenegro might have been. In fact, no evidence seems to be available on the historic natural dispersion of <em>C. aegagrus</em> in the Balkan peninsula.
