The ICZEGAR is returning to Thessaloniki after 17 years, carrying a long and successful tradition of 42 years. This experience has demonstrated that ICZEGAR is an important crossroad for scientific contact, information exchange, exploration of new ideas, and cooperation building among scientists working on a wide range of subjects on the animal diversity of the eastern Mediterranean region and beyond. In this way, the 14th ICZEGAR aims to present the most recent work related to the systematics, phylogeny, biogeography, ecology, evolution, and conservation of animal species at a biodiversity hotspot. Ιn addition to the four abstracts submitted by the invited speakers, a total of 177 abstracts were submitted from which 82 were accepted as oral presentations and 95 as posters. Oral presentations were grouped in 14 sessions that are outlined in the programme along with the round tables and discussions on hot issues of biogeography and ecology of Greece and adjacent regions. Almost 500 authors from 33 countries across the globe submitted their work; all continents, except Antarctica, are represented. The majority of abstracts were submitted from Greece followed by Turkey, Algeria, Czech Republic and Republic of North Macedonia. Most animal taxa, from marine invertebrates to land vertebrates, are represented in these works, all contributing to the understanding of the patterns and processes that shaped the richly diverse fauna of the region. The 14th ICZEGAR will be hosted at the conference centre of Aristotle University’s Research Dissemination Center (KEDEA Building, Tritis Septemvriou Str., Aristotle University Campus, Thessaloniki, Greece), also known as the Red Building, which was granted by the Research Committee of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. On behalf of the Organizing Committe Prof. Dionisios Youlatos School of Biology Aristotle University of Thessaloniki III International Congress on the Zoogeography and Ecology of Greece and Adjacent Regions PROCEEDINGS Sponsors The organizers would like to thank the Research Committee, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki for granting the auditoria and the foyer of the KEDEA Building.
