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 ...

Complementing the puzzle of Eleonora's Falcon (Falco eleonorae) migration: New evidence from an eastern colony in the Aegean Sea
(2012)Eleonora's Falcon (Falco eleonorae) is an endemic breeder of the Mediterranean Sea and the Canary Islands that overwinters in Madagascar and surrounding areas. Recent telemetry studies have revealed the migratory journey ...

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 ...

Nest-site preferences of Eleonora's Falcon (Falco eleonorae) on uninhabited islets of the Aegean Sea using GIS and species distribution models
(2012)Eleonora's Falcon breeds colonially on small islands of the Mediterranean Sea and Macaronesia. Despite the wealth of papers highlighting the importance of nesting characteristics on this species' breeding performance, few ...

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, ...

Variation in breeding parameters of Eleonora's falcon (Falco eleonorae) and factors affecting its reproductive performance
(2012)We gathered data for a four-year period (2004-2007) on the nesting ecology and reproductive performance of Eleonora's falcon in the Aegean Sea. We investigated in an indirect way the relation between clutch size and ...
