Bd. 42 H. 2 S. 125—135 Bonn, Juni 1991 Notes on the distribution of small mammals (Insectívora, Rodentia) in Epeirus, Greece Theodora S. Sofianidou & Vladimir Voliralik Abstract. The material of 107 specimens of small mammals was collected in 19 localities of Epeirus in the years 1985 — 1989. Additional faunistic records were obtained by field observations. Together, information on the distribution of 14 species were obtained. From these Miller's water shrew {Neomys anomalus) is reported first time from this region. Some questions concerning the distribution and habitats of individual species are discussed. Key words. Mammaha, Insectívora, Rodentia, distribution, taxonomy, Epeirus, Greece. Introduction The mammal fauna of the west coast of the Balkan peninsula, south of Neretva river, belongs to the most interesting of Europe. The reason for this is above all an unusual- ly high occurrence of endemism which is typical for this area. So far, only the northernmost part of this area, i. e., Monte Negro, Jugoslavia has been investigated satisfactorily (Petrov 1979). From the rest of this area data are either almost completely absent (Albania) or they are very incomplete (Greece). Therefore, the present paper is intended to contribute to the knowledge of small mammals of Epeirus, a region which is situated in the north-west part of Greece, in the close proximity of Albania. The first data on small of this region were pubhshed by Miller (1912) who had at his disposal a small series of mammals from the island Korfu. -

Violence, Resistance and Collaboration in a Greek Borderland: the Case of the Muslim Chams of Epirus
«Qualestoria» n. 2, dicembre 2015 Violence, resistance and collaboration in a Greek borderland: the case of the Muslim Chams of Epirus di Spyros Tsoutsoumpis Abstract ‒ Violence, resistance and collaboration in a Greek borderland: the case of the Muslim Chams of Epirus The ethnic infighting that took place in Thesprotia between the Greek and Albanian communi- ties during the Axis occupation has been described as a forgotten conflict. Indeed, until recently, the only existing studies were those of local «organic» intellectuals who argued that the Alba- nian Muslim minority collaborated collectively first with the Italian and then with the German occupiers in the hope that an Axis victory would lead to the eventual creation of a Greater Alba- nian state. The article will challenge these views and argue that the conflict was shaped by local issues and antagonisms that predated the war and were often unrelated to nationalist agendas. Politics were used by local actors of all nationalities as a means of expressing local differences; however, the root of the conflict must be sought in communal relations. Both the victims and the perpetrators knew each other, shared common cultural codes and often had longstanding grievances. But this was not a parochial conflict waged between pre-modern peasants. Violence became possible solely as a result of the war and the presence of supra-local actors – the Re- sistance organisations, the Axis militaries and the British Military Mission – who gave peasants the opportunity and means by which to settle their differences. The presence of these groups served to nationalise the ongoing local struggles and led ultimately to an escalation of violence, resulting in the bloody stand-off that took place in the summer of 1944. -

SOME NOTES ON UNDOCUMENTED MIGRATION AND DEVELOPMENT IN GREEK PERIPHERAL REGIONS (Séance / Session 2) Stelios E. Gialis Adjunct Lecturer, University of Thessaly, Volos, Greece 1 2 Abstract The present article examines and charts some demographic and socio-spatial characteristics of the migratory populations living in the prefecture of Preveza at the region of Epirus, Greece. It seeks some first answers in relation to: a) the number of undocumented immigrants in the local labour markets under study, b) the relevance of the ‘flexicurity’ concept to immigrant workers. By doing so, the paper highlights some possible interconnections between ‘hidden’ migratory populations and development in localities of peripheral regions, such as the one under study. The research draws upon data collected during 2008, in the frame of an empirical research conducted by the prefectural administration of Preveza. Other data sources, such as the lists of migrants holding an official residence permit and national census data, are also comparatively explored. All the above sources potentially offer valuable insights for the demographic characteristics of migrants in Preveza. The paper discusses the insufficient and controversial character of Greek -

Visit the archaeological site and the museum. On the way to Arta (275 Km), and more particularly between Itea and Nafpaktos, we will realize a geological section across the Hellenides, along the northern coast of Corinth’s gulf. At the end of the day we will stay in Arta. A short presentation of the geology of Epirus will be given before dinner, at the lobby of the hotel. Dinner and overnight in Arta. DAY 2 Departure from Arta at 08.00 and travel to Igoumenitsa (distance of 177 Km). Several sections have been chosen for a presentation of the stratigraphy and the structure of the Ionian zone. Stops are scheduled in Eocene limestone impregnated with oil and the main source rocks (Posidonia beds) in order to discuss the petroleum system of the Ionian zone. -
