ANNALS OF THE UPPER SILESIAN MUSEUM IN BYTOM ENTOMOLOGY Vol. 27 (online 004): 1–13 ISSN 0867-1966, eISSN 2544-039X (online) Bytom, 9.11.2018 LECH BOROWIEC1 , SEBASTIAN SALATA1,2 Notes on ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of Zakynthos Island, Greece http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1481794 1 Department of Biodiversity and Evolutionary Taxonomy, University of Wrocław, Przybyszewskiego 65, 51-148 Wrocław, Poland e-mail: 1 [email protected], 2 [email protected] Abstract: Forty five ant species were recorded from the Zakynthos Island (Ionian Islands) in 2018, including seven not attributed to any formally described taxon. A comparison of ant fauna of Zakynthos with ant fauna of Samos islands is presented. Both islands have similar surface area (405.6 versus 476.4 km2) and are placed almost on the same latitude (37°) but represent the most western and the most eastern fauna complexes in Greece; 78 species and morphospecies were recorded from both islands but only 23 species are common. Key words: ants, Greece, East Aegean Islands, Samos, faunistics, taxonomy. INTRODUCTION Zakynthos is a Greek island placed in the Ionian Sea. It is the third largest of the Ionian Islands, placed 13.5 km south of Kephalonia – the largest Ionian island, and 18 km west of the Peloponnese. It is also a separate regional unit of the Ionian Islands Region. The area of the island is 405.55 km2 and it is 37 km long and 19 km wide. Its coastline is roughly 123 km. The island is very diverse, with a mountainous plateau on its western half, steep cliffs on southwest coast, and densely populated and fertile plain, with long sandy beaches and several isolated hills, on the eastern part. -

Zakynthos, Ionian Islands
A bit of crystal blue… Zakynthos Zakynthos is an island bursting with things to see, explore and enjoy - from the beautiful beaches, lovely traditional villages, picturesque mountain scenery, watersports, sights such as the Shipwreck and Venetian Castle and as if that wasn't enough there are also several interesting museums; an ideal way to learn more about this wonderful place and its distinguished residents. Zante Vacation Zakynthos is one of the Greek Ionian Islands located off the west coast of the Peloponnese. The island is one of the greenest and most beautiful in the archipelago and boasts some superb sandy beaches. It's the beaches of Zakynthos that make the island a magnet for the package holiday hordes that migrate here between Easter and October. The busiest seaside resorts rival those of Corfu in terms of their frantic nightlife and all-action beach scene. But if you venture further afield than the main resort areas you'll find some lovely secluded coves, dramatic mountain scenery and unspoilt inland villages. The island's mega resort is Laganas on the south coast where 14 kilometers of golden sand gently shelves into shallow water. The main beachfront is chock-a-block with bars, restaurants, hotels and apartment blocks and you'll find all manner of watersports and leisure facilities including ballooning and glass-bottomed boat rides. If you're after 24-hour partying, Brit bars, curries and quiz nights then this is the place for you. You may even find yourself swimming alongside the beautiful loggerhead sea turtles which use the soft sand of the south coast beaches as their nesting grounds. -

Cartographic Heritage in the Historical Study of Public Health: the Case of Mediterranean Lazzaretos
e-Perimetron, Vol. 11, No.1, 2016 [35-46] www.e-perimetron.org | ISSN 1790-3769 Dimitrios Anoyatis-Pelé*, Ioanna Athanasopoulou*, Costas Tsiamis** Cartographic Heritage in the Historical Study of Public Health: The Case of Mediterranean Lazzaretos Keywords: cartography; history; Lazarettos; medicine; public health Summary: The study presents an aspect of Cartographic Heritage associated with the historical development of Public Health in the central and eastern Mediterranean. The study covers the period 15th-19th century, a time when the Lazzarettos (Pest-houses) and quarantine were the only defence against serious infectious diseases and epidemics.The Lazzarettos identified on maps and topographic plans of towns in different forms as: a) miniatures of buildings with or without the name “Lazzaretto”, b) names of localities in map legends and c) imaging of islands used as Lazzarettos. The appearance of Lazzarettos on maps and topographic drawings helps in the study of quarantine in historical, epidemiological, social and economic level. Illustrations of Lazzarettos can promote a spatiotemporal identification of the historical sources. The study highlighted a particular aspect of Cartographic Heritage, in the context of the study of disease as a cultural phenomenon, setting the need of deeper cartographic research. Introduction The Lazzarettos (Pest-houses) had been a landmark in the development of Public Health. During the year 1347, Europe was struck by the the Second Pandemic of plague (Black Death). In the coming centuries, the disease would continue with local outbreaks. This ongoing attack led to the need for preventive and control measures against the infectious diseases and the epidemic outbreaks. First, the Venetian Republic realized the political, economic and military importance of the infectious diseases and the epidemic outbreaks. -

Funkcje i dysfunkcje turystyki na greckiej wyspie Zakynthos Tomasz Lidzbarski, [email protected] Uniwersytet Gdański, Wydział Filologiczny, Instytut Badań nad Kulturą Abstrakt Grecka wyspa Zakynthos jest miejscem potencjalnie zagrożonym rozwojem zjawiska overtourismu. W trakcie kilkunastu miesięcy badań terenowych oceniono, do jakiego stopnia, w okresie do października 2018 roku, przekroczono na wyspie granice chłonności turystycznej. Zdefiniowano również problemy w funkcjonowaniu lokalnego ruchu turystycznego, zebrano dane dotyczące stosunku mieszkańców Zakynthos do dalszego rozwoju turystyki, a także oszacowano ryzyko degradacji doświadczeń wypoczywających na wyspie turystów. Stwierdzono, że konieczne jest szybkie podjęcie działań mających na celu poprawę bieżącej sytuacji i uniknięcia zjawiska overtourismu. Walka z efektami nadmiernej koncentracji ruchu turystycznego nie musi oznaczać tu jednak ograniczenia liczby przybywających na wyspę turystów. Na Zante potrzeba kompleksowego planu odrodzenia turystyki, który – poza priorytetowym zwiększeniem wydajności dostępnej infrastruktury – zmierzałby do wykorzystywania w pełni fizycznych, ekologicznych i kulturowych walorów wyspy bez szkodzenia im. Szczególną szansą może być dążenie do rozwijania i promowania na Zakynthos form turystyki zrównoważonej i kwalifikowanej.
