Altitudinal effect on species richness of Oniscidea (Crustacea
(1992)Species richness decreases with altitude, and at the same rate on all three mountains. The faunal similarity among altitudinal zones is inversely related to species density (total number of species present at each mountain), ...

Biodiversity patterns of terrestrial isopods from two island groups in the Aegean Sea (Greece): Species-area relationship, small island effect, and nestedness
(2008)Although almost one third of Aegean islands have an area smaller than 1 km2, very few studies have concentrated on this spatial Scale. We investigate biodiversity patterns of terrestrial isopods in 2 island groups (Kalymnos ...

From sampling stations to archipelagos: Investigating aspects of the assemblage of insular biota
(2004)Aim To investigate the formation of nestedness and species co-occurrence patterns at the local (sampling station), the intermediate (island group), and the archipelago scale. Location The study used data on the distribution ...

Article
Habitat diversity, ecological requirements of species and the Small Island Effect
(2009)Aim: To explore the causal factors leading to a significant Small Island Effect (SIE), that is, the absence of the commonly found species-area relationships below an island size, on the terrestrial isopod communities from ...

Increased molecular divergence of two endemic Trachelipus (Isopoda, Oniscidea) species from Greece reveals patterns not congruent with current taxonomy
(2008)In the present study, we employed three mitochondrial DNA genetic markers in a phylogenetic analysis aiming at the delineation of the relationships amongst nominal Trachelipus kytherensis populations, as well as between ...

A morphometric approach to the geographic variation of the terrestrial isopod species armadillo tuberculatus (Isopoda: Oniscidea)
(2009)The terrestrial isopod species Armadillo tuberculatus Vogl, 1876 (Crustacea, Isopoda, Oniscidea) is a widely polymorphic species distributed in the south-central Aegean region (Greece) with a different morph on each island. ...
