Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of Zakynthos Island, Greece
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. -
Onshore Drilling Outcomes in Kefalonia Issued 16 September 2015
Onshore Drilling Outcomes in Kefalonia Issued 16 September 2015 Summary The results of the geoscientific campaign unveiled a complex geo-tectonic and geological landscape beneath the Thinia valley, the isthmus separating the western peninsula of Paliki from the rest of Kefalonia. It has superseded the simple side-wall collapse and in-fill hypothesis and has raised another possibility, that of a massive rotational slump, leading to a toe-thrust and the elevation of an ancient marine channel. The critical question then becomes one of timing: could this rotational slump have occurred recently (in the last ~3,200 years) and therefore be responsible for in-filling and displacement of a Mycenaean age marine channel? Other promising findings include the discovery of ancient beach deposits buried under land-slip infill at the northern end of the Thinia valley and evidence of an ancient marine harbour that reached the foot of Kastelli Hill and that contained radiocarbon-datable samples attributable to the Bronze Age. An anomalous late-period lakebed, now dried out, is another intriguing finding. It is also worth reiterating that Mycenaean-era sites have been previously identified on both the western peninsula (called Paliki) and the remaining part of the island of Kefalonia, confirming that this land is of considerable historical and archaeological interest dating to the period in question. The geological research sponsored by Fugro and directed by Professor John Underhill has been completed safely, successfully and with no harm to the environment. Thinia valley panorama looking east from Paliki Project Background The objective of this phase of geoscientific research has been to test the proposition that the island of Ithaca may have been accurately described in Homer’s Odyssey as the furthest west of a group of four islands off the western coast of Greece, facing dusk, the open sea and being of low elevation. -
Excursão Shore2shore
Visita Panorâmica a Zakinthos Itinerário Encontro no porto pelo nosso guia com o cartaz Shore2Shore. A nossa viagem a Zakinthos começa na cidade de Zante e levar-nos-á à nossa primeira paragem na aldeia de Bohali, onde os visitantes podem desfrutar da vista deslumbrante da cidade. A partir daí dirigimo-nos para a aldeia de Volimes, onde teremos a oportunidade de comprar produtos locais tais como azeite, mel e vários artesanatos. A próxima paragem será a famosa Praia dos Naufrágios, que pode ser fotografada de cima através da plataforma de observação perto da aldeia de Anafonitria. Como já estamos na aldeia de Anafonitria, iremos visitar o Mosteiro de Panagia Anafonitria, que é a nossa última paragem. Zante está localizada na base da colina de Bochali e é simultaneamente a principal cidade e porto da ilha. Após o terramoto que destruiu a cidade em 1953, iniciaram-se os trabalhos de reconstrução e é agora uma cidade moderna que se encontra em contínua expansão no interior. Zakynthos oferece muitas vistas interessantes, tais como a famosa Igreja de Agios Dionysios, a igreja de São Dionysios, bispo de Zante e santo padroeiro da ilha, que alberga as relíquias do santo; os numerosos museus e as características praças da era veneziana de D. Solomos e São Marcos. As vielas minúsculas e silenciosas, as casas antigas com os seus pátios floridos e a paisagem encantadora com vista para a baía da cidade farão do seu passeio um dia único e inesquecível. Partiremos para Bohali, uma bela zona de Zante, mesmo à saída da capital e incluindo as encantadoras aldeias de Akrotiri, Kryoneri e Varres. -
