The Aegean archipelago: A natural laboratory of evolution, ecology and civilisations
(2017)The Aegean archipelago, comprising numerous islands and islets with great heterogeneity in topographic, geological, historical and environmental properties, offers an ideal natural laboratory for ecological and evolutionary ...

A biogeographical analysis of terrestrial isopods (Isopoda, Oniscidea) from the central Aegean islands (Greece)
(1996)Terrestrial isopods (Isopoda, Oniscidea) of forty-three central Aegean islands and islets are analysed from a biogeographical point of view. The oniscid fauna consists of sixty-nine species, thirty-two genera anti fourteen ...

Community variation of spiders, beetles and isopods in three small island groups of the Aegean Sea: the interplay between history and ecology
(2017)Aim: To study the variation in the species turnover and nestedness components of compositional dissimilarity in a multi-taxa and multi-island-group system. In addition, to examine the influence of several biogeographical ...

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 ...

Turnover of plants on small islets of the eastern Aegean Sea within two decades
(2008)Aim: To estimate species turnover of plants on 32 small islands within a 20-year period and to assess possible changes in community composition and properties, such as species richness and factors affecting it, nestedness, ...
