Its contribution to the historiography of the period stems from the fact that it constitutes the first academic study of the third largest resistance organisation in Greece, the 5/42 regiment of evzones. The study of this national resistance organisation can thus extend our knowledge of the Greek resistance effort, the political relations between the main resistance groups, the conditions that led to the civil war and the domestic relevance of British policies.

Aspock et Holzel (1977) in the Friuli region of northern Italy_ This dis­ covery significantly expanded the known geographic distribution of this primarily Balkan species, increasing its documented range by 3° latituqe to the north and 4° longitude to the west. This unexpected discovery has suggested that nevrorthids, which are rarely collected and appear to be very locally distributed, may have a greater distribution in southeastern Europe than previously realized. On 22 June 2008, the first author collected two adult male specimens of N. apate­ lios in the Goriska region of western Slovenia.

    Biodiversity Journal, 2014, 5 (3): 397–420 The cave crickets of Greece: a contribution to the study of Southern Balkan Rhaphidophoridae diversity (Orthoptera), with the description of a new species of Troglophilus Krauss, 1879 Claudio Di Russo, Mauro Rampini* & Marina Cobolli Department of Biology and Biotechnology “C. Darwin”, University of Rome “La Sapienza”, Viale dell’Università 32, 00185 Roma, Italy *Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The taxonomy, geographic distribution and ecology of Rhaphidophoridae of Greece are updated herein. At present, 28 species of Dolichopoda Bolívar, 1880 and five species of Troglophilus Krauss, 1879 are known to colonize Greek caves and, in a few circumstances, epigean habitats. Dolichopoda includes a high number of species and shows a wide geo- graphic distribution, including most of Greece. The genus diversity peaks in the Hellenic region, which hosts 28 of the 51 species described thus far. Most of the Dolichopoda species show a high degree of endemism, being recorded from only one or a few caves in restricted geographic areas. The thermo-xerophilic climate characterizing most of the southern Balkan Peninsula and the high fragmentation of the Greek karstic areas could have played an impor- tant role in the reduction of gene flow among cave cricket populations, leading to strong iso- lation and multiple speciation events. All the Dolichopoda species found in the area are highly dependent on caves and show clear adaptations to the subterranean ecosystems. Of the five Troglophilus species known for the area, only two occur in continental Greece, with a very scattered geographic distribution including a few mountain localities in northern and central Greece.

Pavlou, Penteli 152 36, Greece cCNRS, Ecole Normale Superieure, Department of Geosciences, Paris 75231, France Abstract. Monitoring dam performance is a critical parameter in maintaining a safe dam. Safety concerns include seepage, internal erosion, and seismic issues in the case that the dam is located in high seismic hazard areas. Seismic considerations for dam safety among others includes the expected dam’s performance during seismic events. The scope of this research work concerns the capability to record potential deformation on the Mornos earth dam (central Greece) induced by major earthquake events that occurred in the broader area. For this purpose, a hybrid interfer- ometry synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) method was applied using elements of conventional differential InSAR, short baseline interferometry approaches, and persistent scatterers interfer- ometry.

Dianthus haematocalyx Boiss. & HELDR. subsp. phitosianus CONSTANTINIDIS, a new subspecies from Greece, is described and illustrated. It differs from all the re- lated taxa of D. haematocalyx in its decumbent habit, the lanceolate to ovate cauline leaves, and the triangular awns of epicalyx scales. Its chromosome number of 2n = 30 is reported. The new taxon appears to be a narrow serpentine endemic, growing on dry slopes sparsely covered with vegetation, or on gravel and scree close to Aliki settlement and NE Loutraki (Sterea Ellas). It occupies the southernmost known dis- tribution range of any of its allied taxa. With respect to their distribution and geo- lithological preferences, the plant taxa that occur on serpentine in central Greece may be classified into four main categories.
