The searchable catalogue is now reconciled to the current Scopus author profile supplied on 3 November 2026 (author ID 55883498500): 175 indexed documents, 4,433 citations and h-index 36. The two recent additions already incorporated in the catalogue — Bacaro, Fanfarillo & Maccherini (2026) in Ecological Informatics 99, 104113 and Liccari, Trotta, Sigura, Bacaro & Boscutti (2026) in Landscape Ecology 41, 223 — are therefore included in the current Scopus total. Three older website records that were absent from the full Scopus export supplied on 27 September 2026 remain presented separately below for completeness.
