ADDITIONAL KNOWLEDGE

I use Windows XP Professional 2007 (Word, Excel, Power Point, Autocad 2006). Also, I use the SPSS (version 19.0), Minitab (13.20 version), and the STATISTICA (release 6.0) statistical packages.

ACTIVITIES 1. I enjoyed the military service as a sergeant driver from 1993 to 1994. 2. I supervised 21 undergraduate projects in the Dept. of Forestry and Management of Natural Environment between 2006 and 2010. I participated in supervision of postgraduate students, in experimental design and statistical analysis: S. Capper (1998), R. Taylor (1998) and V. Mountain (1998) in Reading University, in collaboration with Dr G. Holloway. In addition, I participated in supervision of postgraduate students, mainly providing statistical advice, (a) M.Sc. students: E. Chatzinikos (2000), O. Alexandrou (2004), V. Kontsiotis (2005), M. Papakosta (2007), Th. Giannouli (2010) and M. Peristerianou (2010) and (b) B.Sc. students: P. Kostopoulou (1999), Th. Papadopoulos (2001), E. Dafos and V. Bontzorlos (2001), E. Kakalis (2003), M. Papakosta (2005), S. Braziotis and D. Dikou (2005), C. Gyftakis and V. Grammatikos (2005) in Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, in collaboration with Dr C. Vlachos. 3. I elected vice‐President in the Committee of Dadia‐Lefkimi‐Soufli National Park, from 2004 until 2006, and I was member of this Committee from 2006 to 2009. I

-13- - appointed by the Greek Minister of Environment “Scientific Consultant” for this Committee from 2009 until present. 4. I have collaborated with Greek scientists in many subjects in fieldwork and my recent scientific interesting are: (a) "Effect of silvicultural practices on passerine distribution and abundance", (b) "Ecology and management of endangered birds of prey: Lesser kestrel (Falco naumanni)", (c) "Effect of roads on wildlife", (d) "Effect of visitors in vulture behaviour in Dadia‐Soufli forest", (e) "Utilisation of artificial perches by birds of prey during wintering in Evros Delta ", (f) "Impact of predators on game species".
