ZooKeys 565: 1–28. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.565.6877 Abstract In the last decades, several expeditions were organized in Europe by the researchers of the Hungarian Natural History Museum to collect snails, aquatic insects and soil animals (mites, springtails, nematodes, and earthworms). In this study, scale insect (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha) specimens extracted from Hun- garian Natural History Museum soil samples (2970 samples in total), all of which were collected using soil and litter sampling devices, and extracted by Berlese funnel, were examined. From these samples, 43 scale insect species (Acanthococcidae 4, Coccidae 2, Micrococcidae 1, Ortheziidae 7, Pseudococcidae 21, Putoidae 1 and Rhizoecidae 7) were found in 16 European countries. In addition, a new species belong- ing to the family Pseudococcidae, Brevennia larvalis Kaydan, sp. -

Structure and History of Hellenides
Argyriadis, I. and Forti, S., 2016. Structure and history of Hellenides. Boletín Geológico y Minero, 127 (2/3): 575-592 ISSN: 0366-0176 Structure and history of Hellenides Ion Argyriadis(1) and Silvia Forti(2) (1) Cabinet de Géologie Argyriadis, 975 chemin du Pré de Caune, 83740 La Cadière d’Azur, France [email protected] (2) Via Verseiner 44/B, Meltina, 39010 Italia [email protected] ABSTRACT This study is based on some new field observations made on the group of the Eastern Hellenic regions. Our observations have led us to adopt a simplified view of the paleogeography of the Greek mainland before the Alpine orogenesis. The subsequent varied tectonic units originate mainly from the following paleogeo- graphic areas: • A carbonate Arabo-African shelf margin which displays several lateral transitions, ridges and basins. On the Greek mainland this margin is represented by the Preapulian, Ionian, Gavrovo-Tripolis, Parnassos zones, the Olympus platform and probably the Kavala and Thassos marble. • A transition zone from the shelf units to the Tethys ophiolites (Pindos Zone, Styra, Argolis and Hydra, Eretrias new unit). • Tethys ophiolites, which might represent either an “ocean” fault zone or subduction of the lithosphere along a weak area. • A Hercynian continental mass (Serbomacedonian). This group is currently completed by the presence of a large tectonic mélange connected to the ophiolite overthrust. Key words: Hellenides, structural geology, ophiolites emplacement, actualism Estructura e historia de las Helénides RESUMEN Recientes trabajos de campo nos permiten llegar a una nueva lectura del conjunto de datos así como a la nue- va interpretación que resulta de los mismos Distinguimos por ende, para el conjunto de las Hellenidas, cinco unidades paleo-geográficas mayores, escalonadas entre Paleo África y Europa, quiénes, mediantes fases tectónicas superpuestas - y no paralelas, ni tampoco de igual desplazamiento, conformaron el edifico actual: • Una plataforma carbonatada arabo-africana, incluyendo variaciones laterales y longitudinales. -

Bd. 42 H. 2 S. 125—135 Bonn, Juni 1991 Notes on the distribution of small mammals (Insectívora, Rodentia) in Epeirus, Greece Theodora S. Sofianidou & Vladimir Voliralik Abstract. The material of 107 specimens of small mammals was collected in 19 localities of Epeirus in the years 1985 — 1989. Additional faunistic records were obtained by field observations. Together, information on the distribution of 14 species were obtained. From these Miller's water shrew {Neomys anomalus) is reported first time from this region. Some questions concerning the distribution and habitats of individual species are discussed. Key words. Mammaha, Insectívora, Rodentia, distribution, taxonomy, Epeirus, Greece. Introduction The mammal fauna of the west coast of the Balkan peninsula, south of Neretva river, belongs to the most interesting of Europe. The reason for this is above all an unusual- ly high occurrence of endemism which is typical for this area. So far, only the northernmost part of this area, i. e., Monte Negro, Jugoslavia has been investigated satisfactorily (Petrov 1979). From the rest of this area data are either almost completely absent (Albania) or they are very incomplete (Greece). Therefore, the present paper is intended to contribute to the knowledge of small mammals of Epeirus, a region which is situated in the north-west part of Greece, in the close proximity of Albania. The first data on small of this region were pubhshed by Miller (1912) who had at his disposal a small series of mammals from the island Korfu. -

Beitr. 31/2 661-691 31.12.1999 A revision of Othius STEPHENS (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae). VIII. Further records, new species, and a new synonym. V. ASSING Abstract: A study of previously unrevised material yielded numerous additional data regarding the distribution and bionomics of 37 species of Othius, a genus which is here argued to represent a Palaearctic taxon and which now comprises approximately 100 species. The previously unknown male primary and secondary sexual characters of O. turcmenus FAUVEL, O. loeffleri SCHEERPELTZ, and O. opacipennis CAMERON are described and illustrated for the first time. Three species are described and distinguished from their respective closest relatives: O. jumlaensis sp. n. from Nepal, O. svaneticus sp. n. from the Caucasus region, and O. bhutanensis sp. n. from Bhutan. Their primary and secondary sexual characters are illustrated. An examination of the previously unavailable holotype of O. loeffleri SCHEERPELTZ resulted in the following synonymy: Othius loeffleri SCHEERPELTZ 1976 = Othiogeiton nepalensis SCHEERPELTZ 1976, syn. n. Key words: Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Staphylininae, Othiini, Othius, Palaearctic region, distribution, ecology, taxonomy, revision, new species, new synonym. Introduction The Othius species of the Palaearctic region have recently been revised in several steps (ASSING 1997a, 1997b, 1998a, 1998b, 1999; ASSING & SOLODOVNIKOV 1998; ASSING & WUNDERLE 1995). -

GRIECHENLAND: Wohnmobilstellplatz- Führer Für Die Region Epirus-Ioannina 24 Plätze Mit 1
GRIECHENLAND: Wohnmobilstellplatz- führer für die Region Epirus-Ioannina 24 Plätze mit 1. Auflage 2016 allen GPS Daten Tolle Plätze – mit Tipps aller Art – insbesondere für Rad- und Wandertouren © Thomas Fettback – Alleenstraße 52, 88400 Biberach (www.thomas-fettback.de) page 2 Inhaltsverzeichnis Seite 46 - 48 EINFÜHRUNG Dieser Wohnmobilstellplatzführer ist entstanden in der Zusammenarbeit mit den Gemeinden der Bergregion Epirus (Ioannina) und stellt damit im Wohnmobiltourismus etwas „Besonderes“ dar: Sie kommen an Ort und Plätze, an denen Sie von „offizieller Seite“ herzlich willkommen sind und die der „normale Wohnmobilreisende“ nie entdecken würde! Durch die enge Zusammenarbeit mit den örtlichen Akteuren beinhaltet dieser Stellplatzführer auch „Geheim-Tipps“ rund um die Stellplätze, wie insbesondere Rad- und Wandertouren. Griechenland und speziell die Region Ioannina mit ihren 8 Gemeinden des Epirus eignen sich somit hervorragend für einen längeren abwechslungsreichen Aufenthalt in dem noch unentdeckten und damit unberührten sogenannten „Hinterland“. Sollten Sie zum Beispiel vorhaben, alle Plätze in diesem Wohnmobilstellplatzführer abzufahren, würden Sie eine Wegstrecke von über 600 Kilometern zurücklegen. Dabei ändert sich das Landschaftsbild laufend: Mal denken Sie, Sie sind in der Schweiz, dann wieder in den Dolomiten oder in den Pyrenäen. Hinzu kommt, dass das Straßennetz relativ gut ausgebaut ist und bei vorsichtiger Fahrweise kein Problem selbst für größere Wohnmobile darstellt. Attraktiv ist auch die Nähe zum Meer: Ioannina, die Hauptstadt des Epirus Ioannina, liegt nur 78 Autobahnkilometer vom Fährhafen Igoumenitsa entfernt. Insofern ermöglicht dieser Wohnmobilführer auch eine hervorragende Kombination zwischen Erholungsurlaub am Meer und Erlebnisurlaub in den Bergen. Die verborgenen Kultur- und Naturschätze Die Vikos-Schlucht ist in Europa einzigartig: Sie lässt sich mit keiner anderen Landschaft – selbst der Ardeche – vergleichen. -
Expression and Function of the Chloroplast-Encoded Gene Matk
Expression and Function of the Chloroplast-encoded Gene matK. Michelle Marie Barthet Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Biological Sciences K. W. Hilu, Chair E. Beers G. Gillaspy J. Sible R. A. Walker February 9, 2006 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: MatK, chloroplast, maturase, fast-evolving, Orchidaceae Copyright 2006, Michelle Marie Barthet Expression and Function of the chloroplast-encoded gene matK. Michelle Marie Barthet ABSTRACT The chloroplast matK gene has been identified as a rapidly evolving gene at nucleotide and corresponding amino acid levels. The high number of nucleotide substitutions and length mutations in matK has provided a strong phylogenetic signal for resolving plant phylogenies at various taxonomic levels. However, these same features have raised questions as to whether matK produces a functional protein product. matK is the only proposed chloroplast-encoded group II intron maturase. There are 15 genes in the chloroplast that would require a maturase for RNA splicing. Six of these genes have introns that are not excised by a nuclear imported maturase, leaving MatK as the only candidate for processing introns in these genes. Very little research has been conducted concerning the expression and function of this important gene and its protein product. It has become crucial to understand matK expression in light of its significance in RNA processing and plant systematics. In this study, we examined the expression, function and evolution of MatK using a combination of molecular and genetic methods. Our findings indicate that matK RNA and protein is expressed in a variety of plant species, and expression of MatK protein is regulated by development. -
