	abstract = {This paper analyses the species-area relationship in the Aegean tenebrionids in order to discriminate between relict and dynamic models. Using different statistical approaches, the following eco-geographic variables were tested as predictors of the tenebrionid richness on 32 Aegean Islands: latitude, longitude, area, maximum elevation, distance to the mainland, and distance to the nearest island. Area was identified as an important predictor, while neither distance to the mainland nor distance to the nearest island was identified as of any statistical importance in affecting tenebrionid richness. Thus, as proposed for other very sedentary animals inhabiting this archipelago such as land snails, a relict model is postulated. As most tenebrionids have extremely limited ability to actively disperse over the sea, ancestral species have probably colonised the Aegean Islands by means of land-bridges during Pleistocene falls in the sea level.},

	abstract = {Any method of identifying hotspots should take into account the effect of area on species richness. I examined the importance of the species-area relationship in determining tenebrionid (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) hotspots on the Aegean Islands (Greece). Thirty-two islands and 170 taxa (species and subspecies) were included in this study. I tested several species-area relationship models with linear and nonlinear regressions, including power exponential, negative exponential, logistic, Gompertz, Weibull, Lomolino, and He-Legendre functions. Islands with positive residuals were identified as hotspots. I also analyzed the values of the C parameter of the power function and the simple species-area ratios. Species richness was significantly correlated with island area for all models. The power function model was the most convenient one, Most functions, however, identified certain islands as hotspots. The importance of endemics in insular biotas should be evaluated carefully because they are of high conservation concern. The simple use of the species-area relationship can be problematic when areas with no endemics are included. Therefore the importance of endemics should be evaluated according to different methods, such as percentages, to take into account different levels of endemism and different kinds of "endemics" (e.g., endemic to single islands vs. endemic to the archipelago). Because the species-area relationship is a key pattern in ecology, my findings can be applied at broader scales.},
