Brown Bear in Greece: Distribution,Present Status-Ecology of a Northernpindus Subpopulation BROWN BEAR IN GREECE: DISTRIBUTION,PRESENT STATUS-ECOLOGY OF A NORTHERNPINDUS SUBPOPULATION GEORGE A. MERTZANIS, Hellenic Society for the Protection of Nature 24, Nikiw Street, 10557, Athens, Greece Abstract: Brown bear distributionrange in Greece comprises 2 distinct nuclei of unequal size, covering a total of about 11,000 km2, and seems to have stabilized for the last 20 years after dramaticregression in the 19th century. Extra-limitalsporadic occurrence of bears southwardsof the western population nucleus down to the 39th parallel, as well as unexplored sectors of potentialbear occurrence in the northernparts of the country, may add new data to the species chorology in Greece. There is a risk of further internal fragmentationof the western distribution nucleus. Human-causedmortality appears to be the main factor of populations' negative trends. Brown bear food habits were determined by investigations in a 900 km2 bear area located in the northernPindus range and scat analysis (N = 343). Only plant materialwas found in 77 % of the samples, whereas 17% contained both plant and animal material, and 6% only animal material (mostly insects-ants). Omnivory and opportunisticstrategy appearedas the main characteristicsof bears' feeding behavior. Brown bear annualactivity cycle was determinedby data on signs of presence and activity (N = 664). It appears in relation to trophic optimas and mesoclimatic conditions of the habitat. There is evidence of winter inactivity. Brown bear habitatpreferences determined by Marcum& Loftsgaarden'smethod (N = 289 bear locations) show seasonal influence of types of vegetation communities on habitatuse.

  • Military Entrepreneurship in the Shadow of the Greek Civil War (1946–1949)
    JPR Men of the Gun and Men of the State: Military Entrepreneurship in the Shadow of the Greek Civil War (1946–1949) Spyros Tsoutsoumpis Abstract: The article explores the intersection between paramilitarism, organized crime, and nation-building during the Greek Civil War. Nation-building has been described in terms of a centralized state extending its writ through a process of modernisation of institutions and monopolisation of violence. Accordingly, the presence and contribution of private actors has been a sign of and a contributive factor to state-weakness. This article demonstrates a more nuanced image wherein nation-building was characterised by pervasive accommodations between, and interlacing of, state and non-state violence. This approach problematises divisions between legal (state-sanctioned) and illegal (private) violence in the making of the modern nation state and sheds new light into the complex way in which the ‘men of the gun’ interacted with the ‘men of the state’ in this process, and how these alliances impacted the nation-building process at the local and national levels. Keywords: Greece, Civil War, Paramilitaries, Organized Crime, Nation-Building Introduction n March 1945, Theodoros Sarantis, the head of the army’s intelligence bureau (A2) in north-western Greece had a clandestine meeting with Zois Padazis, a brigand-chief who operated in this area. Sarantis asked Padazis’s help in ‘cleansing’ the border area from I‘unwanted’ elements: leftists, trade-unionists, and local Muslims. In exchange he promised to provide him with political cover for his illegal activities.1 This relationship that extended well into the 1950s was often contentious.

Our study explores its seasonal range use pattern, demography and habitat selection in a site of the Natura 2000 network, Timfi Mountain. To this aim, we examined 1168 observations obtained from six seasonal surveys (2002: four seasons, 2014 and 2017: autumn) and performed an ecological-niche factor analysis (ENFA), using 16 environmental and human-disturbance variables. The species had an annual range of 6491 ha (25% of the study area), followed the typical range-use pattern, and presented the minimum core area during the rutting season (autumn). Timfi Mt hosted 469 individuals in 2017 (the largest population in Greece), increasing by 3.55 times since 2002. The species selected higher altitudes during summer and autumn, pinewoods over broad-leaved woods as winter grounds, and it avoided south-facing slopes.

  • The Fight for Balkan Latinity (II). the Aromanians After World War
    ISSN 2039-9340 Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences Vol. 3 (11) November 2012 The Fight for Balkan Latinity (II). The Aromanians after World War Giuseppe Motta (Ph.D) Sapienza University of Rome Doi:10.5901/mjss.2012.v3n11p541 Abstract The article focuses on the Vlach question after the first World War, when the Balkan region was finally divided among the different national States and the Ottoman Empire collapsed. In this period the Aromanian communities had to find a new policy inside a new scenario and addressed towards different options represented by Albania, Italy and Romania. In a first time Vlachs also tried to create an autonomous principality of Pindus but this experience was short-lived and did not produce tangible results. On the contrary, during the interwar period the Vlachs consolidated their privileged relationship with Romania and established an influent group at Bucharest, where they partecipated to the internal political life even supporting the most radical movements such as Corneliu's Codreanu Iron Guard. Keywords: Aromanian, Vlach, Balkan, Albania, Romania. 1. Introduction. The Vlachs and the First World War. The history of the Vlachs in the Balkan regions was undoubtedly conditioned by the unstable and chaotic situation of the region, which during the troublesome period of the “Eastern Question” became a central area for the system of international relationships. The problems were particularly acute in the regions of Pindus, Epirus and Macedonia, and were naturally exacerbated by the constant atmosphere of war that the people of this area breathed for many years, at the end of XIX century and during the first decades of the XX.

  • Ancient Greece Geography
    Ancient Greece Geography The ancient civilization of Greece was located in southeastern Europe along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. The geography of the region helped to shape the government and culture of the Ancient Greeks. Geographical formations including mountains, seas, and islands formed natural barriers between the Greek city-states and forced the Greeks to settle along the coast. Map of Modern Greece Aegean Sea The region of the Mediterranean where the Greeks first settled is called the Aegean Sea. Greek city-states formed all along the Aegean coastline and on the many islands in the Aegean Sea. The people of Greece used the Aegean to travel from city to city. The Aegean also provided fish for the people to eat. Mountains The land of Greece is full of mountains. Around 80% of the Greek mainland is mountainous. This made it difficult to make long journeys by land. The mountains also formed natural barriers between the major city- states. The tallest mountain in Greece is Mount Olympus. The Ancient Greeks believed that their gods (the Twelve Olympians) lived at the top of Mount Olympus. Islands The Aegean Sea is home to over 1000 islands. The Greeks settled on many of these islands including Crete (the largest of the islands), Rhodes, Chios, and Delos. Climate The climate in Ancient Greece generally featured hot summers and mild winters. Because it was so hot, most people wore lightweight clothing throughout most of the year. They would put on a cloak or wrap during the colder days of the winter months. Regions of Ancient Greece The mountains and seas of Ancient Greece formed several natural regions: ● Peloponnese - The Peloponnese is a large peninsula located at the southern tip of the Greek mainland.

Efstratiou, P. Biagi, D. E. Angelucci & R. Nisbet The study region The Pindus chain of western Macedonia represents the second mountain range of Greece after the Olympus. The highest peak is Mt. Smolikas (2477m asl), which is followed by the Gurgulu and Bogdani, above 2200m asl (Figure 1). This mountain region is inhabited mainly by Vlachs, a romance speaking population of almost unknown origin, whose first appearance, according to literary sources, is in the seventh century AD. Their history is narrated in the seminal work by Wace and Thompson (1913), who accurately described their pastoral, transhumance activities mostly in the area surrounding one of their main villages, Samarina, along the south-eastern fringes of Mt. Gurgulu. Figure 1. Samarina: the surveyed region, from the south-east, with indication of the uppermost limits of Mousterian chert tool scatters and isolated finds (vertical bars) (photograph P.

Some of them willingly adhered to the Italian project, support- ed the fascist army and liked the idea of a political-territorial organisation (their own state, Pind, or at least an Albanian-Romanian confederation) under the patronage of Rome. The existence of multiple power centres with particular interests and zealous leaders weakened the force of the discourse and damaged from the inside a state project which was doomed to fail anyway, in the conditions in which Italy seemed to have other plans. The pres- ence of many groups and leaders who disputed their supremacy, legitimacy and representation had consequenc- es on obtaining cultural and political rights on the territories organised by the Italians. The interventions of the Romanian government tried to answer some specific and immediate needs regarding food supplies or teaching materials, but they did not manage efficiently the material and human resources and could not stifle the local con- flicts for power and money.

Abstract This research explores the musical culture of an unknown area of Northwestern Greece (Western Macedonia and Epirus) and its neighboring areas in the State of North Macedonia and Northern Epirus in Southern Albania. It reveals that areas considered alien and linguistically distinguished from each other, belong to the same musical culture despite the difference of language. Thus, the conventional division of the area of Western Macedonia in Greece into three zones, the Greek-speaking part (the largest one), the Vlach-speaking part (on the Pindus Mountains), and the Slav-speaking, on the Northern part of the area, is seriously disputed. Emic comments of the locals about their language and identity, justify these findings and are confirmed by historical research in the Byzantine, but also before that, past of the area.
