Dezember 1999 The reptile fauna of the Fourni Archipelago (Eastern Aegean, Greece) Die Reptilienfauna des Fourni-Archipels (Ost-Ägäis, Griechenland) MARIA DIMAKI & ANASTASIOS LEGAKIS KURZFASSUNG Aus der Literatur und aufgrund unserer Beobachtungen auf 10 der 11 Inseln des Fourni-Archipels (Ost-Ägäis, Griechenland) sind sieben Reptilientaxa für diese Inselgruppe bekannt. Hemidactylus turcicus wird erstmals von den Inseln beschrieben. Für die häufigen Arten werden Angaben über die beobachteten Individuendichten in verschiedenen Habitattypen gemacht. Die größten Dichten wurden in der Macchie beobachtet. Das Artenspektrum ist vergleichsweise arm und zeigt enge Beziehungen zu den Herpetofaunen der Inseln der Ost-Ägäis und des Dodekanes. ABSTRACT Based on literature data and own observations made in 10 out of 11 islands of the Fourni complex (eastern Ae- gean, Greece), seven reptile taxa are known to occur on this Archipelago. The presence of Hemidactylus turcicus was not known before. Concerning the most abundant forms, densities of individuals observed in the various habitat types are presented. Highest densities were observed in the maquis vegetation. The spectrum of reptile species is compara- tively poor and indicates close affinities to the herpetofauna of the eastern Aegean and Dodecanese islands.

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.

These activities earned him many scientific awards and plaques of appreciation. His achievements include •“Gödence Village Agricultural Development Cooperative Achievement Award, 2003”; •“TMMOB Chamber of Agricultural Engineers Scientific Award, 2004”; and •“Turkish Sheep Breeders Scientific Award, 2009”.
