This year, due to the COVID 19 pandemic constraints, it will not be possible to host you in Évora, the beautiful World Heritage City in southern Portugal, as originally planned. The Conference was postponed to January 2021 and will take place fully online. We will be physically distant and a hand-shake or a hug will not be possible. But we are still together to share ideas and experiences that will inspire the adoption of nature friendly solutions in Linear Infrastructure Networks. IENE 2020, “LIFE LINES – Linear Infrastructure Networks with Ecological Solutions” “No effort is too small to preserve biodiversity” Humans are today the main biological influencers of ecosystems, biological commu- nities and species survival. In 2020, the World Economic Forum recognized that “bio- diversity loss” is one of the threats with plausible higher impact on Global Economic Development. Linear infrastructure (LI) networks such as roads, motorways, railways, navigation and irrigation channels, pipelines and electric powerlines, fences, etc. have grown expo- nentially since the middle of the 20th century. However, most existing LI networks built before the 90th decade are not environmentally friendly, do not consider properly biodi- versity conservation and have immense negative impact on wildlife. Every year, billions of animals are killed by cars, hit by trains, powerlines collisions, electrocuted in electrical poles, drowned in artificial channels, and isolated from their natural resources and mates through insurmountable LI barriers. Light, noise and hu- man activities associated with many of these infrastructures displace wildlife form large areas or induce stress and lowers fitness of those that remain, contributing to small- er, more isolated and less resilient populations. As the climate changes progresses, species can only survive by moving along with the shifting ecological conditions. This requires even more mobility across the landscape, worsening the already detrimental impacts of LI networks. Whether acting in isolation or synergistically, these impacts are a major step to the extinction of species and populations. On the other hand, the habitats related to linear infrastructures, including verges, areas under powerlines poles and others, if properly managed, may play an important role as corridors or biodiversity refuges, counteracting the adverse ecological effects of LI, particularly when those are embedded in highly human-modified landscapes. Abstract Book Particularly in the last two decades, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) processes 5 increasingly demand new LI to be ecologically sustainable. However, very often the assessment and mitigation are focused on the new infrastructure itself discharging the larger landscape context and the integration and intervention on other infrastructures already present. Monitoring data on ecological impacts of LI and mitigation efficacy is more available than ever. New devices taking advantage of machine-learning techniques and artificial intelligence are being tested to promote safer LI for humans and wildlife through the reduction of accidents and non-natural mortality, and promotion of safer LI crossings. Big data about species occurrences and ecological needs, increasingly detailed satel- lite imagery, new and progressively cheaper genetic tools and powerful computers, and modelling techniques are helping us to understand better than ever, interactions between LI and biodiversity. Landscape designers and planners, LI managers and con- structors, decision makers are, like never before, aware of the risks and opportunities for biodiversity associated with LI development. No net loss politics and compensatory schemes are powerful and promising tools to prevent biodiversity decline. However, till now, they are not doing enough. Achieving ecologically sustainable LI implies to mainstream biodiversity across all phases of LI development, giving natural capital the priority it deserves in all parts of the process. So, is it time to strengthen this message to top world politicians and decision-makers. For already existing LI, the investment towards sustainability may seem huge and im- possible to accommodate in short term national or institutional budgets. However, of- ten, simple actions, like repairing a fence, adapting a culvert, isolating an electrical cable, etc., can make a difference. When understood by local human communities and authorities these small things will easily get ingrained by people and the motto “no simple action is too simple to help biodiversity” will echo and cement the cooperation across all sectors and regions. Rushing this to happen is the responsibility of all of us, but the support and incentive of decision-makers is the master pylon to implement and spread the idea, guarantying a sustainable Earth where biodiversity, including people, may thrive.

The next morning early we met our large tour bus and its charming and skillful driver, Grigoris, who hails from the mountain village of Gardiki not far from here. We did a bit of leisurely botanizing before we reached Perdika, our first destination of the day. There are two reasons to visit Perdika: one is the Karavostasi beach, a curving strand with golden sand, and the archaeological site of Dymokastron, a Hellenis- tic mountain-top town reached by a steep hike. The view of the beach far below was beautiful, as it must have been when the town was still inhabited. The town was destroyed in 167 BCE by a Roman army, along with most of the other towns in the vicinity, all allied with Rome’s enemy, Macedonia. The site is under active excavation, and we were able to admire the remnants of protective walls (how in the world did they get those big stones up there?), building foundations, and cisterns, which were certainly needed in case of a prolonged siege, Some members of the IOS Greek tour relaxing under the plane tree in the which Dymocastron must have experienced more than once. village square.

AHLQUIST Departmentof Biologyand PeabodyMuseum of Natural History,Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut 06511 USA ABSTRACT.--OldWorld starlingshave been thought to be related to crowsand their allies, to weaverbirds, or to New World troupials. New World mockingbirdsand thrashershave usually been placed near the thrushesand/or wrens. DNA-DNA hybridization data indi- cated that starlingsand mockingbirdsare more closelyrelated to each other than either is to any other living taxon. Some avian systematistsdoubted this conclusion.Therefore, a more extensiveDNA hybridizationstudy was conducted,and a successfulsearch was made for other evidence of the relationshipbetween starlingsand mockingbirds.The resultssup- port our original conclusionthat the two groupsdiverged from a commonancestor in the late Oligoceneor early Miocene, about 23-28 million yearsago, and that their relationship may be expressedin our passerineclassification, based on DNA comparisons,by placing them as sistertribes in the Family Sturnidae,Superfamily Turdoidea, Parvorder Muscicapae, Suborder Passeres.Their next nearest relatives are the members of the Turdidae, including the typical thrushes,erithacine chats,and muscicapineflycatchers.

Far from being “ancient hatreds” the communal conflicts that emerged in Macedonia in this period were a result of the ongoing processes of nationalization among the different communities and the competing visions of their national projects. These conflicts were greatly influenced by inter-imperial rivalries on the Balkans and the combination of increasing interference of the Great European Powers and small Balkan states of the Ottoman domestic affairs. I argue that autonomy was a multidimensional concept covering various meanings white-washed later on into the clean narratives of nationalism and rebirth.

These cause various kinds of damage which varies with the crops grown in different European Economic Community (EEC) countries. Although EEC member states are governed by the same legislation on bird protection, each state interprets the Community legislation in its own national legislation. This leads to different national approaches to the prevention of Starling damage, with little information exchange between member states.

The aim of this dissertation is to collect as much information as possible on agricultural practices in Macedonia from prehistory to Roman times and examine them within their social and cultural context. Chapter 1 will offer a general introduction to the aims and methodology of this thesis. This chapter will also provide information on the geography, climate and natural resources of ancient Macedonia from prehistoric times. We will them continue with a concise social and cultural history of Macedonia from prehistory to the Roman conquest. This is important in order to achieve a good understanding of all these social and cultural processes that are directly or indirectly related with the exploitation of land and agriculture in Macedonia through time. In chapter 2, we are going to look briefly into the origins of agriculture in Macedonia and then explore the most important types of agricultural products (i.e.
