Dissertation DISSERTATION Titel der Dissertation Dadia National Park, Greece – an Integrated Study on Landscape, Biodiversity, Raptor Populations and Conservation Management angestrebter akademischer Grad Doktor/in der Naturwissenschaften (Dr. rer.nat.) Verfasserin / Verfasser: Mag. rer. nat. Stefan SCHINDLER Matrikel-Nummer: 9504664 Dissertationsgebiet (lt. Zoologie Studienblatt): Betreuerin / Betreuer: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Konrad Fiedler Wien, am 18.5.2010 2 Dedications A graduate degree requires a commitment of time and energy that precludes the fulfillment of family obligations and normal social behavior. The degree that I earn with this dissertation is by no means an exception to this rule. For dealing with an often tired, cranky, forgetful and absent person, but also for the support that I received during the last six years (and before), I dedicate this dissertation especially: ♥ to my mother Luise Schindler, who encouraged me to dream and supported me for 35 years plus 9 months with all her strength, power, and love; ♥ to my deceased father Otto G. Schindler, who could not witness the final of this achievement, but influenced me heavily with his thirst for knowledge, encouraged me always for higher studies, and helped me also practically during parts of this thesis; ♥ to the habitants of Dadia National Park, who supported me with their friendliness and happiness, and transferred some long and exhausting field work sessions to the best years of my life. ♥ to my life partner Manuela Martins Cunha and to our baby Daniel, who will be born one of these days. I desire a birth without complications and more time in the future to enjoy both of you.

Assessments of status and trends of landscapes, biodiversity, and endangered species are needed and should be conducted in the framework of an integrated conservation management. This doctoral thesis is a cumulative work dealing with landscape, biodiversity, raptor populations, and conservation management of Dadia National Park (Dadia NP), a local hotspot of biodiversity in north-eastern Greece. In the twelve research articles that constitute this thesis, I investigated with my coauthors 1) habitat heterogeneity and biodiversity of Dadia NP, 2) landscape approaches and GIS applications for biodiversity management, 3) sets of landscape metrics for landscape structure analyses, 4) the multiscale performance of landscape metrics as biodiversity indicators for plants, insects and vertebrates, 5) the use of ecological heterogeneity to design reserve networks, 6) the performance of a telemetry system for Eurasian Black Vulture (Aegypius monachus), 7) GIS-based methodologies for territory analyses of raptors, 8) habitat, status and population trends of the diurnal raptor populations of Dadia NP, 9) decision support systems for the conservation of biodiversity in managed forest, and 10) the evidence base of conservation management in Dadia NP and the Bulgarian part if the Eastern Rhodpes Mountains. It can be concluded for Dadia NP and similar Mediterranean reserves that landscape surveillance should be integrated into the ecological monitoring of key and indicator species to aid the evaluation of management effects on habitats and wildlife. Further and consistent ecological monitoring and research is crucial for establishing integrative biodiversity conservation and management. Conservation research is providing important

  • The Gordian Knot: American and British Policy Concerning the Cyprus Issue: 1952-1974
    THE GORDIAN KNOT: AMERICAN AND BRITISH POLICY CONCERNING THE CYPRUS ISSUE: 1952-1974 Michael M. Carver A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of The requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2006 Committee: Dr. Douglas J. Forsyth, Advisor Dr. Gary R. Hess ii ABSTRACT Douglas J. Forsyth, Advisor This study examines the role of both the United States and Great Britain during a series of crises that plagued Cyprus from the mid 1950s until the 1974 invasion by Turkey that led to the takeover of approximately one-third of the island and its partition. Initially an ancient Greek colony, Cyprus was conquered by the Ottoman Empire in the late 16th century, which allowed the native peoples to take part in the island’s governance. But the idea of Cyprus’ reunification with the Greek mainland, known as enosis, remained a significant tenet to most Greek-Cypriots. The movement to make enosis a reality gained strength following the island’s occupation in 1878 by Great Britain. Cyprus was integrated into the British imperialist agenda until the end of the Second World War when American and Soviet hegemony supplanted European colonialism. Beginning in 1955, Cyprus became a battleground between British officials and terrorists of the pro-enosis EOKA group until 1959 when the independence of Cyprus was negotiated between Britain and the governments of Greece and Turkey. The United States remained largely absent during this period, but during the 1960s and 1970s came to play an increasingly assertive role whenever intercommunal fighting between the Greek and Turkish-Cypriot populations threatened to spill over into Greece and Turkey, and endanger the southeastern flank of NATO.

  • John S. Koliopoulos Unwanted Ally: Greece and the Great
    JOHN S. KOLIOPOULOS UNWANTED ALLY: GREECE AND THE GREAT POWERS, 1939-1941 Greece’s international position and national security, from the spring of 1939 when the Axis powers initiated a policy of outright conquest in Europe until the German invasion of the country two years later, have, until recently, been examined mainly from the point of view of contemporary official Greek policy, leading thus to the development of a semi - official Greek historiography1. Most of the governing as­ sumptions and premises of this historiography grew out of both war­ time rhetoric and the post - war requirements of Greek policy, to be­ come in time axiomatic. Some of these assumptions and premises are: a) that Greece followed, before the' Italian attack, a neutral policy towards the great European powers; b) that the Italian attack was unprovoked ; c ) that Anglo - Greek cooperation was subsequent — and consequent — to the Italian attack ; d ) that the Greek Government, although resolved to resist a German attack, did everything to avoid it, and e) that the German invasion was unprovoked and undertaken to rescue the defeated Italians in Albania. In this paper I propose to examine these assumptions in the light of evidence newly made avail­ able, and see particularly whether Greece followed a really neutral policy until the Italian attack, and whether the Greco - Italian war was, until Germany decided to intervene and extinguish the poten­ tially dangerous conflict in the Balkans, more than a local war loosely connected with the strategical interests of Britain and Germany. Greece’s foreign relations before World War II were first put to the test in April 1939, on the occasion of the Italian occupation of Al­ bania.

OFFICIAL DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE (ODA)–INTERNATIONAL FLOWS1 In 2018, net Official Development Assistance (ODA) by members (donors) of the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) reached USD 149.85 billion, representing a slight fall of 2.3% in real terms (taking account of both inflation and exchange rate movements) compared to 2016. As a share of Gross National Income (GNI), DAC members’2 ODA also fell to 0.30% (0.31% in 2017), well below a United Nations target to keep ODA at or above 0.7% of donor GNI. In the context of 2030 Agenda and the implementation of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), at a global level (Resolution A/ RES/70/1/25.9.2015, 70th UN General Assembly, “Transforming Our World: Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development”), OECD is responding to the need to capture programs that integrate the SDG dimension and thus contribute to their implementation. For this reason, new variables (fields) have been introduced for the registration of SDGs (17 Goals and 169 Targets). ODA Allocations Between 2017 and 2018, ODA for in-donor refugee costs declined from USD 14.1 billion to USD 10.77 billion.

    HELLENIC REPUBLIC MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS MEMORANDUM submitted by the Greek Authorities to the Development Assistance Committee/DAC of the in view of the 4th Peer Review of Greece scheduled for November 28, 2018 ATHENS, GREECE APRIL 2018 Source of the map on the cover: Ministry of National Defence, Hellenic Military Geographical Service (HMGS) ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Being a Development Assistance Committee (DAC) member since 1999, Greece values the peer review exercise as an important input to its internal learning process. This Memorandum has been drafted in view of the 4th Peer Review of Greece’s international development cooperation policy and systems (scheduled for November 2018), using a whole-of-government approach, i.e. involving a significant number of Ministries and other public sector entities, according to their specific areas of competence and comparative advantages. The Memorandum covers the entire period since the 3rd Peer Review of Greece in 2011. During the period 2011-2017, the economic crisis that had begun in Greece earlier reached its peak, whilst fiscal consolidation had an adverse impact on Official Development Assistance (ODA). In a world characterized by an increasing interdependence between countries, Greece pursues a transparent, affordable and effective aid program, which focuses primarily on multilateral interventions and on in-donor refugee costs, taking into account budgetary constraints. Total Greek ODA increased as a percentage of GNI between 2015 (0.13%) and 2016 (0.19%), thus reaching the pre-crisis level (of 2009). Greece intends to pursue further increases of its total ODA expenditure in the future to the extent that economic conditions allow.
