  • Topography, climate, land cover, and biodiversity: Explaining endemic richness on a Mediterranean island with machine learning

    Published papers
    Authors: Aristides Moustakas, Ioannis N. Vogiatzakis
    Abstract: Island endemism is shaped by complex interactions among environmental, ecological, and evolutionary factors, yet the relative contributions of topography, climate, and land cover remain incompletely quantified. We investigated the drivers o… read all

  • Challenges of restoring streams to a free-flowing state in semi-arid Mediterranean areas: Lotic systems in Cyprus from the perspective of the Water Framework Directive

    Published papers
    Authors: Paraskevi Manolaki, Tenna Riis
    Abstract: Hydromorphological alterations are the most common pressures that occur in freshwater ecosystems, largely responsible for the overall decline of freshwater biodiversity. The EU 2030 Biodiversity Strategy, recognizing the crucial role of hyd… read all

  • SMILES in a nutshell

    Member presentations
    Authors: DR IOANNIS VOGIATZAKIS
    Abstract: Presentation Main goal

    • Islands are isolated pieces of land (“ isola effect”), limited in resources, and more susceptible to externalities
    • Islands greatly depend on ecosystem services provided on their land or from the surrounding an… read all
