Chromosome numbers are listed for 413 species of angiosperms from the Aegean Islands, based on collections and counts by Runemark and co-workers. Name, chromosome number and collection details (incl. geographical coordinates) are listed for each species. In almost all cases vouchers are at LD.

It is not surprising that UNESCO included the Pafos antiquities, Choirokoitia and ten of the Byzantine period churches of Troodos in its list of World Heritage Sites. The aim of this publication is to help visitors discover the cultural heritage of Cyprus. The qualified personnel at any Information Office of the Cyprus Tourism Organisation (CTO) is happy to help organise your visit in the best possible way. Parallel to answering questions and enquiries, the Cyprus Tourism Organisation provides, free of charge, a wide range of publications, maps and other information material. Additional information is available at the CTO website: www.visitcyprus.com It is an unfortunate reality that a large part of the island’s cultural heritage has since July 1974 been under Turkish occupation.

  • Dritter Beitrag Zur Kenntnis Der Tierwelt Der Ägäischen Inseln I
    Sitzungsber. Akad. Wissensch., math.-naturw. Klasse 143 (1934) Dritter Beitrag zur Kenntnis der Tierwelt der Ägäischen Inseln Von Franz Werner korr. Mitglied d. Akad. d. Wiss. (Mit 4 Textfiguren) (Vorgelegt in der Sitzung am 18. Oktober 1934) I. Einleitung und Reisebericht. Die in den Jahren 1927 und 1932 unternommenen Reisen nach den Inseln des Ägäischen Meeres konnten, obwohl sie nur der Rekognoszierung dienen und keinesfalls einen Abschluß be• deuten sollten, doch noch immer keinen vollkommenen Überblick auch nur über die Tierwelt der größeren Inseln des Archipels ge• währen. So entschloß ich mich, eine weitere Reise in dieses Gebiet zu unternehmen, die am 14. April 1934 angetreten wurde und für deren Subventionierung ich wie auch vor zwei Jahren der Akademie der Wissenschaften in Wien sowie Herrn Prof. Thomas Barbour, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, Mass. U. S. A. zu aufrichtigstem Danke verpflichtet bin, den ich hier zu gebührendem Ausdrucke bringe. Durch die Teilnahme von Herrn Kustos Dr. Otto Wettstein vom Naturhistorischen Museum in Wien war eine Arbeitsteilung zur Erforschung einer relativ großen Zahl von Inseln möglich. Dr. Wettstein besuchte davon viele, namentlich im Osten des Zykladenmeeres (zwischen Naxos und Amorgos sowie südlich von dieser Insel, ferner Anaphi und einige benachbarte Inseln), sowie den Furni-Archipel bei Samos ohne mich, während ich Antiparos in Gesellschaft der Herren Studierenden der Medizin G. Netolitzky und H. Lenz, die die Zykladenreise mit uns machten, sowie Polivos und Agios Eustathios bei Milos mit Herrn Lenz allein, Kythnos, Siphnos, Kimolos, Paros, Pholegandros, Kardiotissa, Sikinos in Ge• sellschaft der drei genannten Herren, die großen Inseln an der Westküste Kleinasiens (Ikaria, Chios, Mytilene und Samothrake) mit Kustos Wettstein allein durchforschte.

  • DESERTMED a Project About the Deserted Islands of the Mediterranean
    DESERTMED A project about the deserted islands of the Mediterranean The islands, and all the more so the deserted island, is an extremely poor or weak notion from the point of view of geography. This is to it’s credit. The range of islands has no objective unity, and deserted islands have even less. The deserted island may indeed have extremely poor soil. Deserted, the is- land may be a desert, but not necessarily. The real desert is uninhabited only insofar as it presents no conditions that by rights would make life possible, weather vegetable, animal, or human. On the contrary, the lack of inhabitants on the deserted island is a pure fact due to the circumstance, in other words, the island’s surroundings. The island is what the sea surrounds. What is de- serted is the ocean around it. It is by virtue of circumstance, for other reasons that the principle on which the island depends, that the ships pass in the distance and never come ashore.“ (from: Gilles Deleuze, Desert Island and Other Texts, Semiotext(e),Los Angeles, 2004) DESERTMED A project about the deserted islands of the Mediterranean Desertmed is an ongoing interdisciplina- land use, according to which the islands ry research project.

    Another New Species of Euscorpius Thorell, 1876 from the Taurus Mountains in Antalya Province, Southern Turkey (Scorpiones: Euscorpiidae) Gioele Tropea, Ersen Aydın Yağmur, Aristeidis Parmakelis & Kadir Boğaç Kunt September 2016 – No. 231 Euscorpius Occasional Publications in Scorpiology EDITOR: Victor Fet, Marshall University, ‘[email protected]’ ASSOCIATE EDITOR: Michael E. Soleglad, ‘[email protected]’ Euscorpius is the first research publication completely devoted to scorpions (Arachnida: Scorpiones). Euscorpius takes advantage of the rapidly evolving medium of quick online publication, at the same time maintaining high research standards for the burgeoning field of scorpion science (scorpiology). Euscorpius is an expedient and viable medium for the publication of serious papers in scorpiology, including (but not limited to): systematics, evolution, ecology, biogeography, and general biology of scorpions. Review papers, descriptions of new taxa, faunistic surveys, lists of museum collections, and book reviews are welcome. Derivatio Nominis The name Euscorpius Thorell, 1876 refers to the most common genus of scorpions in the Mediterranean region and southern Europe (family Euscorpiidae). Euscorpius is located at: http://www.science.marshall.edu/fet/Euscorpius (Marshall University, Huntington, West Virginia 25755-2510, USA) ICZN COMPLIANCE OF ELECTRONIC PUBLICATIONS: Electronic (“e-only”) publications are fully compliant with ICZN (International Code of Zoological Nomenclature) (i.e. for the purposes of new names and new nomenclatural acts) when properly archived and registered. All Euscorpius issues starting from No. 156 (2013) are archived in two electronic archives: • Biotaxa, http://biotaxa.org/Euscorpius (ICZN-approved and ZooBank-enabled) • Marshall Digital Scholar, http://mds.marshall.edu/euscorpius/.

Box 2208, 71409 Irakleio, Greece Received 15 February 2005; revised 31 May 2005; accepted 2 June 2005 Available online 20 July 2005 Abstract Wall lizards of the genus Podarcis (Sauria, Lacertidae) comprise 17 currently recognized species in southern Europe, where they are the predominant nonavian reptile group. The taxonomy of Podarcis is complex and unstable. Based on DNA sequence data, the species of Podarcis falls into four main groups that have substantial geographic coherence (Western island group, southwestern group, Italian group, and Balkan Peninsula group). The Balkan Peninsula species are divided into two subgroups: the subgroup of P. taurica (P. taurica, P. milensis, P. gaigeae, and perhaps P. melisellensis), and the subgroup of P. erhardii (P. erhardii and P. pelo- ponnesiaca). In the present study, the question of phylogenetic relationships among the species of Podarcis encountered in the Balkan Peninsula was addressed using partial mtDNA sequences for cytochrome b (cyt b) and 16S rRNA (16S). The data support the mono- phyly of Podarcis and suggest that there are three phylogenetic clades: the clade A (P.

Sixteen species are recognized, including seven new species which are possiblyendemic to Crete: T. crassistriatus sp. nov., T. daidalosi sp. nov., T. ikarosi sp. nov., T. incompletus sp. nov., T. minotaurosi sp. nov., T. proteii sp. nov., and T. variabilis sp. nov. A new synonymy is proposed, Temnothorax exilis (Emery, 1869) =Temnothorax specularis (Emery, 1916) syn. nov. An identification key to Cretan Temnothorax, based on worker caste is given.
