Out of the 28 recognized subspecies, 27 are found in Greece from the North Sporades island-complex in the North Aegean (grossly south of the 39th parallel) to the island of Crete in the South. The species exhibits great morphological and ecological plasticity and inhabits many different habitats from rocky islets and sandy shores to mountaintops as high as 2000 m. By examining intraspecific variability at a segment of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome b we have found that that extant populations of P. erhardii are paraphyletic. Furthermore, we have found that subspecies previously defined on the basis of morphological characteristics do not correspond to different molecular phylogenetic clades, so that their status should be reconsidered. The DNA based biogeographical and phylogenetic history of Podarcis in Southern Greece is congruent with available paleogeographic data of the region, which supports the view that DNA sequences may be a useful tool for the study of palaeogeography. {\textcopyright} 2003 Elsevier Science (USA).

The taxonomy of Podarcis is complex and unstable. Based on DNA sequence data, the species of Podarcis falls into four main groups that have substantial geographic coherence (Western island group, southwestern group, Italian group, and Balkan Peninsula group). The Balkan Peninsula species are divided into two subgroups: the subgroup of P. taurica (P. taurica, P. milensis, P. gaigeae, and perhaps P. melisellensis), and the subgroup of P. erhardii (P. erhardii and P. peloponnesiaca). In the present study, the question of phylogenetic relationships among the species of Podarcis encountered in the Balkan Peninsula was addressed using partial mtDNA sequences for cytochrome b (cyt b) and 16S rRNA (16S). The data support the monophyly of Podarcis and suggest that there are three phylogenetic clades: the clade A (P. taurica, P. gaigeae, P. milensis, and P. melisellensis); the clade B (P. erhardii and P. peloponnesiaca), and the clade C (P. muralis and P. sicula). By examining intraspecific relationships it was found that extant populations of P. erhardii are paraphyletic. Furthermore, subspecies previously defined on the basis of morphological characteristics do not correspond to different molecular phylogenetic clades, suggesting that their status should be reconsidered. The distinct geographic distribution of the major clades of the phylogenetic tree and its topology suggest a spatial and temporal sequence of phylogenetic separations that coincide with some major paleogeographic separations during the geological history of the Aegean Sea. The results stress the need for a reconsideration of the evolutionary history of Balkan Podarcis species and help overcome difficulties that classical taxonomy has encountered at both the species and subspecies level.}, keywords = {Reptilia}, author = {Poulakakis, N. and Lymberakis, P. and Efstratios D.

Phylad A consists of one common mitotype and many rare secondary mitotypes that are one mutational step removed from the main type. Nucleotide diversity and number of homoplasious changes are low. Phylad B has a complex pattern of mitotype connectedness, high nucleotide diversity, and a large number of homoplasious changes. It is suggested that the two phylads evolved in isolation from each other and that present coexistence is the result of a secondary contact. Moreover, phylad A has a "star" phylogeny, which suggests that it has evolved in a population that experienced a drastic bottleneck followed by an explosion of size. Phylad A is practically the only phylad present in the Black Sea, with its frequency dropping to 85\% in the northern Aegean. and to 40\% in the rest of Mediterranean and the Bay of Biscay. The Black Sea is, therefore, the most likely place of origin of phylad A. Molecular data are consistent with a population bottleneck in the Black Sea during the last glaciation event and a subsequent exit of phylad A with the outflow into the Aegean following the ice melting. Phylogenetic analysis of anchovy mtDNA provides a reconstruction of population history in the Mediterranean, which is consistent with the geological information.}, keywords = {Pisces}, author = {Magoulas, A. and Tsimenides, N. and Zouros, E.} } @proceedings {9034, title = {Mitochondrial DNA variation in Anchovy populations (Engraulis encrasicolus) of the Greek seas.}, volume = {1}, year = {1990}, month = {1990}, pages = {65.}, publisher = {Hellenic Society for Biological Sciences}, address = {Mytilene, Lesbos}, keywords = {KAPE}, author = {Magoulas, A. and Tsimenidis, N. and Zouros, E.} } @proceedings {9032, title = {Genetic structure of swordfish (Xiphias gladius) populations of the Mediterranean and the eastern side of the Atlantic: Analysis by mitochondrial DNA markers.}, year = {1993}, month = {17-23 Sep 1992}, pages = {128-145}, publisher = {FAO Fisheries Report Rome (Italy)}, address = {Iraklion (Greece)}, abstract = {Restriction site polymorphism of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was score in threesamples of swordfish (Xiphias gladius) from the Mediterranean and in two samples from the eastern Atlantic Ocean.

The three Mediterranean samples (Greece, Italy, Spain) did not differ significantly from each other in their genotypic frequencies. There was, however, a very significant difference between the two Atlantic samples. The samples from Tarifa (just off the Strait of Gibraltar) did not differ from the Mediterranean samples, but the sample from the Gulf of Guinea differed greatly from all other samples (Mediterranean and Tarifa). These observations suggest the existence of one homogeneous stock in the Mediterranean different from that found in the eastern tropical Atlantic.
