The present study is a more thorough analysis of the calling song of further material of C. orni collected in the island of Lesbos as well as in the surrounding area, i.e., other Aegean islands and the Greek and Turkish mainlands. This acoustic signal was recorded, comparatively analysed in time and frequency domains and no significant differences were found between this Lesbos sample with nearby populations.

Recordings of the male calling songs and analyses of selected acoustic variables have been carried out. The general trend in the species distribution and variation in the calling songs produced appeared to be consistent with most of the paleogeographical events in the eastern Mediterranean basin. Cicada species from this area appear to have derived from some stock present in the Miocene in the then united landmass of Aegaeis. Present distribution might have originated mostly by vicariance rather than by dispersal. Therefore, the palaeogeography of the Eastern Mediterranean basin area with emphasis on the Miocenic island groups offers a good explanation for the present distribution patterns and level of endemism in species of the genus Cicada.}, keywords = {biogeography, Calling song, cicada, Coleoptera, colonization, distribution, Greece, Hemiptera, islands, Orni, Paleogeography, phylogeography, TAXA, tenebrionidae, Turkey}, isbn = {1125-0003}, author = {Simoes, P.

These data were combined with immature developmental rates and survival on the same hosts to estimate host-specific population parameters. Pairs of newly emerged adults from each citrus variety were held individually in transparent plastic cages, and females were allowed to oviposit in either red domes (artificial, pre-punctured plastic oviposition devices), or intact, whole citrus fruits. We found strong effects of larval host (citrus fruits) on adult longevity and fecundity. In all five citrus varieties, females did not manage to deposit eggs into fruit pulp. The proportion of eggs laid in either the flavedo or albedo area of the fruit peel differed depending on the citrus variety. In all cases except bitter oranges, females oviposited fewer eggs in citrus fruits than in the artificial oviposition substrates, suggesting that most citrus fruits cause a significant reduction in the reproductive potential of medflies. Negative correlations were found between fecundity and (a) the density of oil glands, and (b) the amount of essential oils in the flavedo area of citrus fruits. There was no correlation between fecundity and other fruit physical characteristics, such as resistance of fruit peel to pressure and thickness of the flavedo. Apparently, resistance of citrus fruits to medfly infestation is directly related to citrus essential oils. The intrinsic rate of increase (r) was higher in bitter oranges than in the three sweet orange varieties tested. A negative r was estimated for flies that developed and oviposited in lemons, indicating a tendency for population decrease in this host.

Seven and eight different haplotypes were revealed for the COI and ND5 gene segments respectively, while the combined data set consisted of twelve different haplotypes. Among the two DNA segments studied, the highest genetic divergence values were observed in COI. In both genes the highest divergence value was among A. m. ligustica colonies and all others. All the phylogenetic trees constructed by Maximum Parsimony, Neighbour-Joining and Bayesian Inference analyses exhibited exactly the same topology for COI and ND5 separately, as well as for the concatenated data set; A. m. ligustica forms the most distinct clade. Our study presents the first comprehensive sequencing analysis of A. mellifera subspecies occurring in Greece and it is the first time that sequencing data from ND5 mtDNA gene segment have been obtained at the population level.}, keywords = {4TH LINEAGE, ALIGNMENT, Apidae, Apis mellifera, genetic diversity, Greece, HONEY-BEE, Hymenoptera, microsatellite, MITOCHONDRIAL-DNA VARIATION, mtDNA, phylogenetic relationships, populations, sequencing, variability}, isbn = {0021-8839}, author = {Martimianakis, S. and Klossa-Kilia, E. and Bouga, M. and Kilias, G.} } @article {9303, title = {Efficacy of the pyrethroid alpha-cypermethrin against Bactrocera oleae populations from Greece, and improved diagnostic for an iAChE mutation}, journal = {Pest Management SciencePest Management SciencePest Management Science}, volume = {64}, number = {9}, year = {2008}, note = {ISI Document Delivery No.: 339FVTimes Cited: 5Cited Reference Count: 30}, month = {Sep}, pages = {900-908}, type = {Article}, abstract = {BACKGROUND: The most important pest of olive orchards worldwide is the olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin). Its control in Greece has been based on organophosphates (OPs), but their intense use has led to the development of resistance. A test previously developed to monitor the trait may not be as robust as originally thought. The pyrethroid alpha-cypermethrin has recently been registered for bait sprays, as an alternative to OPs. RESULTS: The susceptibility of 20 B. oleae populations to alpha-cypermethrin was examined. Variation was observed in their response, with LD50 ranging from 0.14 to 3.28ng insect(-1) and resistance factors from 2.3 to 54.7. Resistance mechanisms were investigated. Cytochrome P450 monoxygenase activities showed an association with resistance. Sequences in the domain IIS4-IIS6 of the B. oleae para-type sodium channel were also analysed, but no resistance-associated mutations were identified. Finally, a novel diagnostic assay able to reliably monitor the frequency of the iAChE G488S resistance mutation was developed. CONCLUSION: This is the first attempt to evaluate the efficacy of alpha-cypermethrin against B. oleae from Greece. Data showed that it can be used effectively, but also highlighted the importance of continuous monitoring. The IIS4-IIS6 sodium channel region is the default area in which to look for resistance mutations if target-site resistance to pyrethroids arises. The application of the novel iAChE molecular diagnostic may facilitate the introduction of pyrethroids alongside OPs currently in use.

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.}, keywords = {Coleoptera, Greece, Island Biogeography, Relict models, tenebrionidae}, author = {Fattorini, S.} } @article {5883, title = {Detecting biodiversity hotspots by species-area relationships: a case study of Mediterranean beetles}, journal = {Conservation BiologyConservation Biology}, volume = {20}, number = {4}, year = {2006}, note = {Times Cited: 0ArticleEnglishCited References Count: 43070sx}, month = {AUG}, pages = {1169-1180}, 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.}, keywords = {aegean islands greece, biogeography, Coleoptera, Coleoptera Tenebrionidae, conservation priorities, diversity, endemism, Greece, Island Biogeography, models, richness, tenebrionidae, terrestrial isopods isopoda}, author = {Fattorini, S.} } @article {5258, title = {Taxonomic status of Phlebotomus sergenti Parrot, 1917, vector of Leishmania tropica (Wright, 1903) and Phlebotomus similis Perfiliev, 1963 (Diptera: Psychodidae).

Females differ by the morphology of the armature of the pharynx and by the number of rings of the spermatheca.Distribution areas of these species are described. P. similis is a North-Eastern Mediterranean species (from Yugoslavia to western Turkey and Azerbaidjan). Fl sergenti is present from Canary Islands (Spain) to India. From these data, the settlement of Paraphlebotomus in the Mediterranean basin may have occurred during the Miocene age. From an Asiatic common ancestor two migration routes are proposed. One, north of the Paratethys Sea, may be responsible for the isolation of P. similis. The other south of the Paratethys and Tethys Seas, may have contributed to the individualisation of P. sergenti.
