	abstract = {Dionysades is a group of four isolated islets close to the NE coasts of Crete. Among the 22 species of land snails that were found on the four islets 19 have living populations while 6 are reported for the first time. The synthesis of the malacofauna of the whole island group is in agreement with the paleogeographic history of the region and it appears to be relictual compared to the malacofauna of eastern Crete.},

	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.
