	abstract = {Gialova Lagoon, a coastal marine ecosystem in the Ionian Sea, suffered the impact of an oil spill incident in October 1993, leading to the extensive fish deaths when the oil tanker "Iliad" hit bottom in the entrance of the neighbouring Navarino Bay. A multidisciplinary study investigating the structure and functioning of Gialova Lagoon for the development of an integrated economic, social, and environmental management policy consistent with its conservation was carried out on a seasonal basis during 1995/1996. One of the research priorities was to investigate the structure and dynamics of the macrozoobenthic communities and assess whether these communities had recovered from the impact of the oil spill. The various methods applied (abundance/biomass comparison, distribution of species in geometric abundance and geometric size classes) revealed no detectable disturbance of the macrobenthic communities due to anthropogenic impact. However, it was proved that the lagoonal macrofauna suffered extreme natural disturbance due to a dystrophic crisis that occurred during autumn although they successfully recovered in subsequent seasons. Different sets of environmental factors were found to be highly correlated with the temporal and spatial distribution pattern of the macrobenthic communities and are discussed in detail. The coenocline observed in Gialova Lagoon appears to be strongly correlated with the degree of water exchange with adjacent marine and continental environments. {\textcopyright} 2000 International Council for the Exploration of the Sea.},

	abstract = {Near-bottom zooplankton sampled by a newly developed hyperbenthic sledge (TTSS2) on the continental shelf (50-200 m) and upper slope (300 m) of Heraklion Bay (Crete, Eastern Mediterranean) consisted of both meso- and macro-zooplankton. Meso-zooplankton was composed mainly of calanoid copepods and crustacean larvae, while macro-zooplankton consisted almost exclusively of chaetognaths. Results revealed that near-bottom zooplankton is found in very high densities close to the seabed and especially on or just a few centimetres above the sediment surface. Furthermore, near-bottom zooplankton abundance was significantly higher during the night than during the day implying that the performance of "reversed" diel vertical migration by these animals is probably due to the presence of predators that use tactile stimuli, rather than vision, to locate prey.},

	abstract = {An attempt is made to compare the results of different rapid biodiversity assessment techniques at the pan-Mediterranean, sectorial and local levels. A uniform multivariate pattern exists at the pan-Mediterranean and national (sectorial) levels: lagoons can be different when they host only a few species, but as species numbers increase, lagoons become homogenous in composition. Multivariate techniques cannot distinguish anthropogenically-impacted lagoons from those, which are naturally disturbed. In the pan-Mediterranean context it is the higher taxonomic levels, but in the national and local context it is the most abundant macrobenthic groups (polychaetes, molluscs and crustaceans) and meiobenthos which provide patterns closest to that derived from the species level. Taxonomic distinctness indices applied to polychaete and mollusc inventories provide meaningful results at most levels and scales of observation. These indices seem to be robust enough to discriminate anthropogenically impacted from naturally disturbed lagoons. {\textcopyright} Springer-Verlag and AWI 2005.},

	abstract = {The annelid community of a shallow Mediterranean lagoon (Gialova Lagoon, Ionian Sea) was studied on a seasonal basis. Out of the 39 species identified eight are reported for the first time from the central Mediterranean. The dominant species were the polychaetes Capitella capitata, Neodexiospira pseudocorrugata, Malacoceros fuliginosus, Perinereis cultrifera, Hediste diversicolor, Heteromastus filiformis and the oligochaete Limnodriloides maslinicensis. Uni- and multivariate methods were employed to study the community structure. The coenocline observed is strongly related to the degree of isolation; its main features (i.e. number of species, density, geometric abundance and size-classes) in space and time are presented and discussed in detail. The distribution pattern of the annelid community has been found to be governed by a different set of environmental factors in each season. Although this narrow lagoonal habitat suffers severe dystrophic episodes it manages to recover, demonstrating a seasonal community pattern.},
