Il Tigullio e il canto delle cicale. L'esperto: "Così forte per il caldo" Il Secolo XIX
archivio Chiavari – Un rumore che ha quasi del fragoroso, a sera inoltrata, in Piazza di Nostra Signora dell’Orto, un sottofondo lungo la via Aurelia, un suono che si propaga in via Ekengren a Lavagna, in via Betti a Rapallo, pure in corso De Michiel, di nuovo nel centro di Chiavari.Le cicalesono sempre state così presenti negli ambienti urbani del Tigullio? È soltanto un’impressione quella che si ha quest’anno, passeggiando per i centri abitati? No. «Sicuramente, c’è stata un’espansione della diffusione delle cicale, che negli ultimi anni hanno raggiunto località del Nord Italia dove non si erano mai viste prima», spiegaStefano Vanin, professore associato all’Università di Genova, dipartimento di Scienze della terra, dell’ambiente e della vita, autorità assoluta in ambito di entomologia forense. Certo, l’impressione trae in inganno: pochi esemplari danno comunque vita a emissioni sonore significative, quindi non è un’invasione biblica, quella che sta avvenendo, e comunque la cicalanon rappresenta un pericoloper l’ecosistema urbano: «Le cicale europee hanno un ciclo di vita da 2 a 5 anni sottoterra come larve, durante i quali succhiano la linfa dalle radici delle piante, poi vivono poche settimane da adulte, in estate, sugli alberi, succhiando sempre la linfa con uno stiletto, ma comunque senza provocare danni alle piante. In queste poche settimane, “cantano”, ovvero i maschi emettono il suono che ha la finalità di attirare le femmine per l’accoppiamento. Deposte le uova, muoiono poco dopo e quindi non si sentono al di fuori dell’estate. Però, secondo me, non sono soltanto innocue. Il loro suono ha anche qualcosa di estremamente poetico, è la natura che canta.Diverso è il discorso per mosche o zanzare,che sono egualmente in espansione, fatto che dovrebbe farci riflettere sulla gestione dell’ambiente e sul riscaldamento globale». Il motore di questa espansione è infatti il caldoche sta progressivamente aumentando: «In generale, i picchi di calore accelerano le attività dell’insetto. Il ciclo di vita è termodipendente». Quindi, più fa caldo, più si nutrono e si riproducono (più friniscono, nel caso delle cicale). Le temperature più alte incidono anche in inverno: «La probabilità di morire, durante il ciclo sottoterra, diminuisce se il termometro scende di meno. Quindi, la popolazione cresce». E sino a che si tratta di cicale, ok. Poi, però, «gli accumuli di acqua uniti alle temperature sono anche l’ideale per far moltiplicare le zanzare». Che, invece, sono fastidiose, se non nocive.— @RIPRODUZIONE RISERVATA

L’esclusione
Il ministero richiama qui gli orientamenti già espressi dal ministero delle Imprese e del Made in Italy (circolare 1882/25, e faq del settembre 2021), secondo cui tali associazioni non possono qualificarsi al tempo stesso come enti del Terzo settore, essendo la loro finalità - valorizzare le competenze professionali degli iscritti verso il pubblico - estranea alle finalità civiche, solidaristiche e di utilità sociale proprie degli Enti del terzo settore.
L’esclusione, precisa la nota, non si limita alle associazioni iscritte all’elenco ministeriale: vale anche per i soggetti che, pur non essendovi iscritti, abbiano statuti dai quali sia desumibile la medesima finalità, ovvero valorizzare le competenze professionali degli associati come prestatori di servizi al pubblico, anziché perseguire finalità civiche, solidaristiche o di utilità sociale.
In questo senso la nota distingue condivisibilmente le associazioni da quelle di rappresentanza di categorie economiche, dal momento che queste ultime guardano soprattutto alla promozione della categoria e delle sue istanze nei confronti dei poteri pubblici.
Tanker reportedly seized by Iranian forces for failing to follow the Northern route in the Strait of Hormuz
The latest news and commentary on how the US/Israel-Iran conflict is affecting the global maritime industry and shipping markets. Tanker reportedly seized by Iranian forces for failing to follow the Northern route in the Strait of Hormuz August 18, 2026 Iran claims to have detained an Emirati tanker while crossing the Strait of Hormuz south of Qeshm Island, according to local media reports. Fars News Agency reported that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) detained the UAE-owned tanker for refusing to use its Northern route through the Strait and not paying service fees. The name and owner of the tanker involved were not identified. Fars said tankers seeking safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz “must follow a route designated by Iran, pay service fees and obtain Iranian authorization.” Reports of the seizure have not been independently verified, however, AIS tracking data shows a Liberian-flagged tankerAmarastopping south of Qeshm Island on an inbound crossing of the Strait and proceeding to sail slow in circles for over the next 12 hours. The vessel is broadcasting that it has an Indian owner and crew. According to Pole Star Global’s Purple Trac theAmara’sregistered owner is Marshall Islands company HSG Shipping, however technical management of the vessel lies with UAE-based Superfleet DMCC. The beneficial owner of the tanker is listed as unknown. Related:Frequency of vessel attacks in Hormuz increases The reported seizure follows strikes on three vessels from Abu Dhabi National Oil Co (ADNOC) in the Strait on 13 and 14 August.
