	abstract = {This research aimed to study the origin and the biogeographical relationships of the tenebrionid beetle (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae) fauna of the island of Thasos, with reference to the other Aegean Islands. A total of 32 Aegean Islands and 170 taxa (species and subspecies), 23 of which occur on Thasos, were included in this study. Nine tenebrionid species are here reported for the first time from Thasos, including the first records of Platydema europaeum and Nelassus plebejus from the Aegean Islands. Several models (linear, exponential, power, logistic, Gompertz, Weibull and Lomolino functions) were used to test the species-area relationship. The power function appeared to be the most appropriate model and the parameters of the curve suggest a possible relict character for this fauna. The proportion of Balkan taxa on the islands sharply decreases from west to east, whereas the Anatolian taxa follow an opposite trend. Multi-dimensional scaling, Parsimony Analysis of Endemicity and discriminant function analysis revealed a clear faunal discontinuity between the western and central Aegean Islands on one side, and the islands close to the Anatolian coast on the other. This discontinuity, consistent with the persistence (from Messinian to Pleistocene) of a sea barrier between these two groups of islands, strongly supports the importance of Pleistocene island configurations in determining present distributional patterns. The comparative richness of the tenebrionid fauna on Thasos is enhanced by the proximity of the island to the mainland and the diversity of its surviving habitats. {\textcopyright} 2005 Taylor \& Francis.},

In order to assess whether the Aegean tenebrionid fauna is mainly equilibrial or relictual, the importance of different eco-geographical variables (i.e. area, latitude, longitude, distance to the nearest island, distance to the mainland) in determining species richness and endemicity levels was analysed by using several statistical methods. These included single regressions, multiple regressions, and partial correlations. Cluster analysis, multidimensional scaling (MS) and discriminant function analysis (DFA) were used to quantify the similarities between the islands. Regression lines were used to study variations in the proportion of Balkan and Anatolian species. Parsimony Analysis of Endemicity (PAE) was used to study possible relationships between hierarchical species assemblages and palaeogeographical reconstructions.Results Island area accounted for most variability in species number. Distances to the nearest island and to the mainland were not identified as of any statistical importance in affecting species number. The proportion of Balkan taxa sharply decreases from west to east, whereas the Anatolian taxa follow an opposite trend. The proportion of endemic taxa appears uncorrelated with island present isolation, while the proportion of subendemic taxa appears to be affected by present distance to mainland and interisland distances. Cluster analysis, MS and DFA, as well as PAE, revealed a clear faunal discontinuity between the western and central Aegean Islands on one side, and the islands close to the Anatolian coast on the other side. This discontinuity, consistent with the persistence (from Messinian to Pleistocene) of a sea barrier between these two groups of islands, strongly supports the importance of Pleistocene island configurations in determining present distributional patterns.Main conclusions The tenebrionid fauna of the Aegean Islands appears to be relictual. Most of the tenebrionid species have probably colonized the Aegean Islands by means of land-bridges during Pleistocene falls in the sea level. The palaeogeography of Pleistocene island groupings is identified as responsible for present levels of endemicity and distributional patterns. An overall transitional character can be observed for the tenebrionid fauna in the study area. However, in accordance with the persistence of a deep sea barrier between the western and the eastern islands, these two groups appear to harbour very distinct faunas.},

	abstract = {The latitudinal pattern of tenebrionid (Coleoptera Tenebrionidae) biodiversity on the Aegean Islands (Greece) was analysed. To remove the obvious influence of area on species richness, several species-area relationships, including power, exponential, negative exponential, logistic, Gompertz, Weibull, Lomolino, and He-Legendre functions, were applied. Residuals were retained as measures of species richness corrected for area. The power function model appeared to be the most convenient one. Species richness was not statistically related to latitude. However, when the confounding effect of area was removed, tenebrionid species richness and levels of endemism increased significantly at lower latitudes. This latitudinal pattern can be explained both as a consequence of increasing mean annual temperatures at lower latitudes (favouring thermophilic species) and as a reflection of the role in speciation played by southern areas during Tertiary land evolution and Pleistocene eco-geographic conditions.},
