The study lasted 6 months, from September 1997 to March 1998, and involved field observations on single and copulating individuals, and the study of the spermatophores within the genital tract. The two species have different aestivation habits and emergence times. Mastus olivaceus, which aestivates closer to the surface of the soil or in the litter, emerges soon after the first rains, while Mastus cretensis emerges later. Additionally, M. olivaceus starts aestivating over a month earlier than M. cretensis. M. olivaceus reproduces from late September till early January, while M. cretensis starts in early November and ends in early March. The bursa-like diverticulum of M. cretensis bears only one spermatophore, but in M. olivaceus from one to three spermatophores were found. The 91 spermatophores of M. olivaceus examined indicate intra-population variability in the number of transverse ridges and number of spines in the ornamentation of its distal part. These types of difference in spermatophore morphology should not, therefore, be considered species-specific.}, keywords = {Mollusca}, author = {Parmakelis, A. and Mylonas, M.} } @article {10103, title = {Dispersal and population structure of two sympatric species of the mediterranean land snail genus Mastus (Gastropoda, Pulmonata, Enidae)}, journal = {Biological Journal of the Linnean SocietyBiological Journal of the Linnean Society}, volume = {83}, number = {1}, year = {2004}, note = {Times Cited: 1ArticleEnglishCited References Count: 70856gb}, month = {SEP}, pages = {131-144}, abstract = {We studied the population dynamics of Mastus by investigating the effects of population structure, spatial ecology and biology of reproduction on the genetic diversity of two sympatric Mastus species endemic to the island of Crete. Over a period of 27 months, we carried out both mark-recapture and random quadrat sampling techniques in order to assess the dispersal trends, the aggregation patterns, the neighbourhood size and the habitat preferences of these species. There were 154 recorded movements for M. butoti and 114 for M. cretensis. Mean monthly dispersal was estimated at d = 0.5 m for M. butoti and d = 1 m for M. cretensis. Both species showed a random dispersal pattern but tended to aggregate in the field. Their populations were found to be highly structured owing to their highly parsimonious dispersal behaviour and the very low population densities, estimated at D = 2.07 +/- 0.16 and D = 0.73 +/- 0.16 individuals m(-2) for M. butoti and M. cretensis, respectively. The neighbourhood size did not exceed 150 individuals for either species. The habitat occupied by each species changed during the active season, but both the immature and the adult individuals of each species seemed to prefer the same habitats throughout the active season. Partial population activation during the active season was observed in both species. We conclude that the population structure, the partial population activation and the species-specific reproductive strategies have a profound effect on maintaining the genetic diversity of the genus{\textquoteright} populations.

Thirty-two Mastus species have been recorded throughout the genus range, and 23 of them are endemic to the islands of the Aegean Sea and mainland Greece. Of these, all 16 Mastus species reported from Crete are endemic to this island. A robust molecular phylogenetic framework based on mitochondrial and nuclear genes (1623 bp) allowed us to explore the temporal diversification pattern of lineages, using molecular clock approaches. Our results showed an initial radiation in the evolutionary history of the Cretan lineage, followed by a subsequent slowdown of lineage splitting rate. Using a dated major vicariant event of the Aegean area, we estimated the absolute time of the radiation event and proposed a biogeographic scenario accounting for the observed pattern. Additionally, we tried to infer the processes that led to the divergence of the Cretan Mastus species, by applying comparative methods in phylogenetically informated context. Overall, our results favoured a nonecological radiation scenario in the Cretan Mastus species due to an allopatric divergence of secondary sexual characters. {\textcopyright} 2005 The Society for the Study of Evolution.

The phylogeny of the populations studied and the processes effecting the genetic and morphological diversity of the species were investigated. Extremely high mtDNA sequence divergence was observed both within and between populations. The Cretan populations could not be distinguished morphologically, while the populations of the islets were more distinct. We argue that the active geological past of the area (including sea level changes) and the long-term presence of humans has produced a mixing up of Mastus populations leading to the accumulation of high divergence of mtDNA sequences on a small spatial scale. The limited morphological diversity and the distinct shell {\textquoteright}identity{\textquoteright} of the islets{\textquoteright} populations can be attributed to the selective pressures of the island group. {\textcopyright} 2003 The Linnean Society of London.}, keywords = {16S rRNA, Human activities, Land snail, Mollusca, Multivariate analyses, Natural selection, Sequence divergence, shell}, author = {Parmakelis, A. and Spanos, E. and Papagiannakis, G. and Louis, C. and Mylonas, M.} } @article {10107, title = {Phylogeography of Iurus dufoureius (Brull{\'e}, 1832) (Scorpiones, Iuridae)}, journal = {Journal of BiogeographyJournal of Biogeography}, volume = {33}, number = {2}, year = {2006}, pages = {251}, publisher = {Blackwell Synergy}, abstract = {Aim This study uses molecular data in conjunction with palaeogeography to infer the most plausible biogeographical scenario accounting for the current distributional pattern of Iurus dufoureius.Location North-eastern Mediterranean region.Methods Sequencing of a 441-bp segment of the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene in seven populations covering the whole distributional range of the species. Phylogenetic analyses performed included neighbour joining, maximum parsimony and Bayesian inference.Results The molecular phylogeny showed that two Iurus clades are strongly supported. These clades correspond to the two subspecies Iurus dufoureius dufoureius and Iurus dufoureius asiaticus, currently recognized within the genus. The assumption of a clock-like evolution could not be rejected, and this enabled us to estimate an approximation of the local rate of evolution for the I. dufoureius lineages. Based on the estimated evolutionary rate (0.79 +/- 0.17 Myr(-1)), the split between the two Iurus clades occurred c. 8 Ma.Main conclusions Contrary to what was believed in the past, the genus Iurus is an old north-eastern Mediterranean genus that has been differentiating in southern Greece and south-west Turkey at least from the middle Miocene. According to the phylogenetic trees obtained and the dating of the divergence times of lineages, the genus dispersed into the Aegean Archipelago when the Aegean was still a uniform land mass. Although the phylogenetic relationships of I. d. dufoureius populations have been shaped by the most recent vicariant events, the phylogenetic relationships of I. d. asiaticus populations are mostly attributable to older palaeoevents occurring in the area.}, author = {Parmakelis, A. and Stathi, I. and Spanos, L. and Louis, C. and Mylonas, M.} } @article {8340, title = {Mitochondrial DNA reveals the genealogical history of the snake-eyed lizards (Ophisops elegans and O. occidentalis)(Sauria: Lacertidae)}, journal = {Molecular Phylogenetics and EvolutionMolecular Phylogenetics and Evolution}, year = {2008}, publisher = {Elsevier}, author = {Kyriazi, P. and Poulakakis, N. and Parmakelis, A. and Crochet, P.

The samples used represent almost all Ligidium species known to occur in Greece, as well as several populations of unknown specific status plus some new records. Phylogenetic analyses of the combined data set were performed using Bayesian inference and maximum parsimony. The two main sister clades with good support indicate the sympatric differentiation of two lineages in southern continental Greece (Peloponnisos), where Ligidium populations exhibit a mosaic distribution of sibling species. The insular populations of the Aegean Islands show increased genetic divergence and form separate clades. The presence of a third lineage of Asiatic origin is strongly suggested by both the molecular phylogeny and morphology. The only presumably valid diagnostic morphological character exhibits only partial correspondence to well supported clades of the molecular phylogeny. Genetic differentiation between populations is very high, a fact that can be attributed to the strict ecological specialization of these animals that leads to increased levels of isolation even between populations that are in close proximity. As a consequence, Greek Ligidium populations, especially those present on islands, are unique genetic pools and extremely vulnerable to extinction. {\textcopyright} 2006 The Authors.}, keywords = {Crustacea}, author = {Klossa-Kilia, E. and Kilias, G. and Tryfonopoulos, G. and Koukou, K. and Sfenthourakis, S. and Parmakelis, A.} } @article {4247, title = {Land-snail diversity in a square kilometre of Cretan maquis: Modest species richness, high density and local homogeneity}, journal = {Journal of Molluscan StudiesJournal of Molluscan Studies}, volume = {69}, number = {2}, year = {2003}, note = {Cited By (since 1996): 4Export Date: 5 September 2006Source: ScopusReferences: Boycott, A.E., The habitats of land Mollusca in Britain (1934) Journal of Ecology, 22, pp. 1-38; Cain, A.J., Variation in the spire index of some coiled gastropod shells, and its evolutionary significance (1977) Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, Ser.

Sampling methods were designed to resemble those used in similar surveys of 1-km2 sites in tropical rainforests in Cameroon and Sabah. A total of 27 species were recorded for the site. Slugs and a semi-slug were found only in the 2002 survey. Individual plots were very similar in species richness and composition; the richest plot contained about 85\% of the fauna recorded for the whole site. Overall densities were very high. This local homogeneity contrasts with marked heterogeneity over Crete as a whole. These results are contrasted with those from tropical forests, where individual plots vary considerably in richness and composition, where densities are lower and where the total site faunas are larger. Although there are problems associated with differing amounts of sampling error between studies, this contrast is striking and some possible causes are discussed. Further work in tropical forest on limestone may elucidate this.}, author = {Cameron, R.A.D. and Mylonas, M. and Triantis, K. and Parmakelis, A. and Vardinoyannis, K.} }
