  • 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.

  • Introduction Acknowledgements
    10 11 Acknowledgements Introduction General geography of Greece Greece is a relatively small country, and with a surface area of 132,000 km2 it is only half as big as the UK. Encompassed, however, in this modest area, is a great diversity of habitats, exceeding many European countries of much larger size. For example, one can encounter in Epirus alpine areas complete with lush conifer forests, dramatic peaks and extensive snowfields that physiographically resemble Switzerland. On the other hand, some regions of the southern Aegean are closer to Africa than to Athens, and their climate and habitats reflect this proximity. Southeastern Crete for example, con- tains one of the few true European deserts, an area closely resembling certain hamma- da regions of the Middle East. Greece is a country of mountains and islands. The Pindos range, an extension of the Dinaric Alps, forms the backbone of peninsular Greece. A number of smaller mountains originate as spurs from this block, although some, including Mount Olympus, the highest mountain in Greece (2,917 m elevation) arise in relative isola- tion. A second major mountain block, the Rhodopes, located in Thrace, runs in a roughly east-west direction separating Greece and Bulgaria. The Peloponnese, a small- er peninsula in the south, is as mountainous as the mainland and encompasses several peaks exceeding 2,000 m in elevation. With the exception of a few large flat regions located mostly in Thessaly and Thrace, the country lacks extensive plains. Typically the mountains drop rather steeply into the sea and are generally flanked only by narrow coastal plains.

  • Bonner Zoologische Beiträge
    © Biodiversity Heritage Library, http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/; www.zoologicalbulletin.de; www.biologiezentrum.at Heft 1/2 22/1971 101 Zur Taxonomie und Ökologie der Cycladen-Eidechse (Lacerta erhardii) von den Nördlichen Sporaden Von ULRICH F. GRUBER, Bonn und THOMAS SCHULTZE-WESTRUM, Assenhausen Einleitung In den Jahren 1957 (August, September), 1958 (März, April) und 1959 (März, April) unternahmen Th. Schultze-Westrum und der verstorbene W. Weigand (München) herpetologische Sammelreisen auf die Nördlichen Sporaden (Näheres siehe Buchholz u. Schultze-Westrum 1964). Unter ande- rem brachten sie eine umfangreiche Ausbeute der Cycladen-Eidechse mit, die in der vorliegenden Schrift bearbeitet wird. Lacerta erhardii ist in zahl- reichen Rassen über die östliche Balkanhalbinsel und die ägäische Insel- welt verbreitet. Sie gehört zu den „Mauereidechsen" und steht in enger verwandtschaftlicher Beziehung zu Lacerta muralis. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, die Rassengliederung der Cycladen-Eidechse auf den nördlichen Spo- raden zu klären, und in Beziehung zur reich gegliederten Inselwelt zu setzen, um Einsicht in deren Geschichte und in die Evolution unter Berück- sichtigung der Isolation und ökologischer Faktoren zu gewinnen. Die Sporadeninseln, deren Herpetofauna bis in jüngste Zeit hinein nur ungenügend bekannt war, sind der Ostküste Griechenlands vorgelagert (Abb. 1). Nach Lage und Tiefenverhältnissen des umgebenden Meeres kann man vier Inselgruppen unterscheiden: Die Hauptkette mit den großen Inseln Skiathos, Skopelos, Alonnisos, Peristeri, Kyra Panagia und Giura; die Gruppe um Skantsura; die Skyrosgruppe; die isoliert liegende Insel Piperi. In die Karte wurde die 200-Meter-Isobathe eingezeichnet. Ihr Ver- lauf ist zwischen der Skyrosgruppe und der Insel Piperi fraglich. Neben dem in Alkohol konservierten Material liegen zahlreiche Beobachtungen und Notizen aus Feldtagebüchern vor.
