Seventeen species of pottiaceous mosses are reported here, many being new records in th e literature for the majority of islands on which th ey were found. Several of th ese species are rare and are pr eviously unre­ ported for Greece. Mosses of the famil y Pottiaceae are common along roadsides and pathways of the islands, th e dry climate appa rently not favoring the development of more hydrophilic species of bryophytes, except along watercourses. Several papers, including tho se of Ade & Koppe (1955), Baum­ gartner (1943, 1944), Brenan (1973), Coppey (1907), Dull (1966), Dull & Dull-Hermanns (1973), Fro ehlich (1961), Gradstein (1970), Laflin (1973), Medelius (1927), Nicholson (1907) Rungby (1967), Schiffner (1913, 1915), and Schiffner ' & Baumgartner (1919), have been pub­ lished reporting occasional bryophyte collections from th e Aegean islands. Most of these pap ers concern the bryoflora of Kriti, but other Greek islands of the Aegean for which bryophyte collections have been reported are Evvia, Dhilos, Kos, Karpathos, Lesvos (Mitilini), Naxos, Rodhos, Samos, Samothraki, Thira (Santorini) Tinos, and Tilos. The pr esent pap er includes th e first report of br yophytes collected on th e island of Mikonos, of th e Kikladhes. 84 ANNALES MUSEI GO ULANDRIS 2. 1974 Geogr aphic relations of th e species listed here are pan-Mediterr a­ nean. All of th e species have been found elsewhere in th e Near East. Five of th e species have not been previously reported for mainland Greece, but most of th e species are widely distributed in southern Europ e. One might estimate from th e sca nty literature th at any future intensive, systematic collecting on th e Aegean islands will uncover man y other species of mosses of M editerranean distribution not presently known for th e area. In th e following account, th e numbers in th e specimen citations represent collec tions made by myself, in the company of my wife, K athe­ rine Cha mes Zander.

Athens, 11636, Greece 2South Aegean Region's Managing Authority, 22 Saki Karagiorga str., Ermoupolis, Syros, 841 00, Greece Keywords: Climate change, adaptation, region, island, South Aegean Presenting author email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The overall purpose of the Regional Adaptation Plan to Climate Change (RAPCC) of the South Aegean Region (SAR) is to contribute to enhancing the region's resilience to climate change in all sectoral policies as outlined in the National Climate Change Adaptation Strategy. This means increasing preparedness and capacity to address the impacts of climate change at local and regional level, developing a coherent approach and improving coordination. The methodology used to assess the climatic vulnerability of the individual sectors and geographical areas of the SAR and ultimately the climate risk assessment comprised nine solid steps beginning from defining “reference" changes of climatic variables to assess the vulnerability of the different activities and ending with ranking sectors and activities as to the magnitude of the risk. The analysis of the climatic vulnerability and danger and hence risk of the different sectors and activities of the South Aegean Region was carried out for the short and medium term (2021-2050) and long-term horizons (2071-2100) and distinct for the geographical units of Cyclades and Dodecanese. According to these findings the proposed measures in the RAPCC were based on island specific characteristics such as financial-social activities, geomorphology and developed both in horizontal and sectoral actions and classified into High, Medium and Low priority.

Within the sprawling city of Athens it is easy to imagine the golden age of Greece when Pericles had the Parthenon (the most eminent monument of the ancient Greek architecture) built. Athens is built around the Acropolis and the pinnacled crag of Mt. Lycabettus, which the goddess Athena was said to have dropped from the heavens as a bulwark to defend the city. Te suburbs have covered the barren plain in all directions and the city is packed with lively taverns and bustling shops. Cyclades - Greece 5 Kea An exceptionally picturesque island. On the south side of Nikolaos Bay - which was a pirate stronghold in the 13th c. - is the little port of Korissia, built on the side of ancient Korissia.

Under average meteorological conditions, the island is water-sufficient (969 mm precipitation; theoretical water potential 3284 hm3; and total water use 610 hm3). Agriculture is by far the greatest user of water (78% of total water use), followed by domestic use (21%). Despite the high average water availability, water scarcity events commonly occur, particularly in the eastern-south part of the island, driven by local climatic conditions and seasonal or geographical mismatches between water availability and demand.

  • Travel Tips-Greece
    TRAVEL INFO KARPATHOS Karpathos is one of the most beautiful islands of Dodecnese. It is located on the southern side of the Aegean Sea, between Rhodes and Crete. Due to the secluded location and the distance from the other Greek islands, Karpathos island started developing in the last decades. In fact, the southern side of the island has mostly developed in tourism, while the central and the northern side has remained unspoiled and authentic, with picturesque villages away from mass tourism. Karpathos Greece is mostly famous for the exotic beaches with the golden sand and the crystal water. Holidays in Karpathos are ideal for families and trekkers, as the trekking paths that cross the island leads visitors to amazing spots.

Diet composition of the Karpathos marsh frog (Pelophylax cerigensis): what does the most endangered frog in Europe eat? Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 42.1: 1–8, https://doi.org/10.32800/abc.2019.42.0001 Abstract Diet composition of the Karpathos marsh frog (Pelophylax cerigensis): what does the most endangered frog in Europe eat? The Karpathos marsh frog (Pelophylax cerigensis) is considered the most endangered frog in Europe. Here we assess its feeding ecology and examine 76 individuals from the two known populations using the stomach flushing method. We also measured body weight, snout–vent length, mouth width and prey width and length. Pelophylax cerigensis follows the feeding pattern of green frogs of the adjacent areas, with Coleoptera, Araneae, Isopoda and Hymenoptera being the main prey groups. The two populations differed in body size but had similar values of prey abundance and frequency. It seems that P. cerigensis follows a strict feeding strategy. Further research on prey availability in its habitats will provide valuable insight. Key words: Diet, Endangered species, Islands, Frogs, Mediterranean Resumen Composición de la dieta de la rana de Kárpatos (Pelophylax cerigensis): ¿qué come la rana más amenazada de Europa?

  • Nikos Rodios by Mark Messenger
    THE CERAMIC CONTINUUM OF Nikos Rodios by Mark Messenger Nikos Rodios is a Greek artist who lives in the Greater Sporades on Skopelos Island. It is a stun- ning landscape with a profound heritage, but every milieu has its story and social cadence. What en- dures is not what is conspicuous but what provides sustenance. Rodios’ artwork, proceeding from that of his grandfather, father, and uncle, is the styliza- tion of such a vital continuum. It is a collection of forms that affirm precedent, aspiration, and an emphatic present. It is an essence Rodios condenses without comment. This is a meditation on his family’s legacy, because it is a shared dynamic. Have you ever looked through a gal- lery searching fruitlessly for cultural relevance? What Bernard Leach, the British formalist, referred to as a ‘taproot’? If so, then you know how ar- rogant this feels, but the insistence of truth remains. I look for an antithesis, even if it’s rash. If you know this reaction, then you understand the aesthetic anarchy of Paul Soldner, the American Abstract Expressionist. It is creatively permissive, mischievous, and prolific. Attempting to meld these ideologies poses a question, “What might authentic creativity look like in this context?” Here I think both Leach and Soldner would nod, but I suspect they would also point to a final catharsis. I recently underwent this sequence in Greece. I had spent several days at the museums in Athens and Iraklion and witnessed, first hand, some of the breadth of Aegean ceramics; its inventive design, elegant craftsmanship, and continuity.
