Juli 20191 Observations of dragonflies (Odonata) from northern Cyprus Peter Flint 14 Beechwood Avenue, Deal, Kent, CT14 9TD, UK, [email protected] Abstract During observations by two resident observers in northern Cyprus from June 2003 to Sep- tember 2004 21 species of dragonfly were recorded. These included nine species not pre- viously recorded from the north of the island, two of which, Erythromma viridulum and Trithemis arteriosa, were not previously mentioned in the island’s literature; the former being a new species for the island. These observations were the first long-term observa- tions on the island and were made during a period of rapid climate and habitat change; the results for Diplacodes lefebvrii, Anax parthenope, Orthetrum chrysostigma, O. sabina, Selysiothemis nigra, T. annulata, and T. arteriosa appear to reflect these environmental changes. Other significant records include: Lestes macrostigma (early records and migra- tion/dispersal), Sympecma fusca (early records), Erythromma lindenii (recorded in only one previous year), A. ephippiger (mass migration) and Sympetrum striolatum (winter mating and ovipositing). Thirty two of the wetlands/water bodies we monitored were not mentioned in the earlier literature.

I would like to express my gratitude to the Cyprus Center for European and International Affairs and Prof. Andreas Theophanous for giving me the opportunity to use the facilities of the University of Nicosia for my research.

  • Annex Vi: Territorial Arrangements
    ANNEX VI: TERRITORIAL ARRANGEMENTS Article 1 Delineation of constituent state boundaries 1. The boundaries of the constituent states, depicted in the maps attached to the Constitution, are described in detail in the attached table. All areas falling within these boundaries are legally part of the constituent state of which they form part from the moment of entry into force of the Foundation Agreement, regardless of whether their administration is delegated for an interim period in accordance with this agreement. 2. There shall be a boundary committee comprising three representatives of each constituent state and at least one non-Cypriot. The committee shall be appointed upon entry into force of the Foundation Agreement, and shall demarcate the boundary on the ground. 3. The demarcation by the committee may by agreement deviate from the stipulated boundary to take account of ownership of properties in the area of the boundary and significant topographical and other features such as graveyards and pre-existing paths. In towns (namely Nicosia and Famagusta) and built up areas in general, the final boundary shall be demarcated in such a way as to take into account as an overriding concern ownership of properties in the area of the boundary. Functionality of street use and administration shall also be a consideration. Any inconsistency between the above description of the course of the agreed boundary and the map shall be decided by consensus by the committee, or, where it is unable to reach consensus, by the Supreme Court of Cyprus. Article 2 Access and connecting roads 1. Civilian traffic on direct connecting roads between the main part of a constituent state and a non-contiguous part, as well as on direct connecting roads through a non-contiguous part of a constituent state, may only be restricted pursuant to an injunction of the Supreme Court.

Nick Kardulias 22 March 2015 i ABSTRACT During the Archaic period (750-480 BC) the island of Cyprus underwent a dramatic transformation as new city-kingdoms rose to dominate the political landscape of the island. This shift resulted in increased competition for resources, establishment of political boundaries, and emergence of a pronounced social hierarchy within the new polities. While many of the large settlements that became centers of power during this time have been thoroughly studied, the manifestation of the large scale changes of the Archaic in the periphery have not been as fully investigated.
