In this paper the authors present the results of a two-year field-study carried out on butterflies and day-flying moths from Pleistocene terrace of Romanengo (Lombardy, Cremona), a relict highland isolated in the Padanian Valley. It was collected 2212 records and it was provides a list of 67 species belonging to 13 families. This list is supplemented by notes on biogeography, phenology and notes on vegetation preference. In particular the authors evidenced the dominance of European-asiatic (37%) and Paleartic species (18%) and the prevalence of eurychorousskiophilous (66%) o mesohygrophilous species (62%). It was evident the preference for seminatural anthropogenic grassland with mesophilous (37%) or nitrophilous-ruderal characteristics (19,1%). The conclusive analysis underlined the presence of two tropical species (Utethesia pulchella and Spoladea recurvialis) and the threatened condition of hygrophilous or stationary species like Heteropterus morpheus and Lycaena tityrus.

Achievement Motive

Abstract. Explicit motives are well-studied in the field of personality and motivation psychology. However, the statistical overlap of different explicit motive measures is only moderate. As a consequence, the Unified Motive Scales (UMS; Schönbrodt & Gerstenberg, 2012 ) were developed to improve the measurement of explicit motives. The present longitudinal field study examined the predictive validity of the UMS achievement motive subscale. Applicants of a police department ( n = 168, Mage = 25.11, 53 females and 115 males) completed the UMS and their performance in the selection process was assessed. As expected, UMS achievement predicted success in the selection process. The findings provide first evidence for the predictive validity of UMS achievement in an applied setting.

Positive Effect

Abstract. This study uses implicit voice theory to examine the influence of employees’ critical thinking and leaders’ inspirational motivation on employees’ voice behavior via voice efficacy. The results of a pretest of 302 employees using critical thinking questionnaires and a field study of 273 dyads of supervisors and their subordinates revealed that both employees’ critical thinking and leaders’ inspirational motivation had a positive effect on employees’ voice and that voice efficacy mediates the relationships among employees’ critical thinking, leaders’ inspirational motivation, and employees’ voice. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
