This comprehensive species-specific chapter covers all aspects of the mammalian biology, including paleontology, physiology, genetics, reproduction and development, ecology, habitat, diet, mortality, and behavior. The economic significance and management of mammals and future challenges for research and conservation are addressed as well. The chapt...
Road sprawl is a key catalyst of land-use change, the greatest threat to biodiversity worldwide, and its negative impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem function are well documented. Although Europe is the most fragmented continent of the world, the reduction of fragmentation from roads and artificial land does not appear in the key commitments of t...
Η επιστημονική έκθεση παρουσιάζει τον εθνικό χάρτη των περιοχών χωρίς δρόμους της Ελλάδας. Πρόκειται για 389 πολύγωνα που ονομάζονται Αδιατάρακτες Φυσικές Περιοχές (ΑΦΠ), έχουν έκταση άνω των 2 τ.χλμ έκαστο και δεν διατρέχονται από δρόμους.Επιπλέον ο χάρτης περιλαμβάνει 3518 νησιά άνευ δρόμων, ή Νησιωτικές Αδιατάρακτες Φυσικές Περιοχές (ΝΑΦΠ) ανεξα...
The Balkan chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra balcanica) is widespread on the Balkan Peninsula, along mountain massifs from Croatia in the north to Greece in the south and Bulgaria in the east. Knowledge on the genetic structure of Balkan chamois populations is limited and restricted to local studies. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to us...
Biology, management and conservation of feral goats in the Mediterranean area.
Balkan chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra balcanica) is a protected species with an Inadequate-Bad (U2) conservation status in Greece and its hunting is prohibited since 1969. We investigated the seasonal range use pattern, demography and habitat selection of the species in Timfi Mountain (Natura 2000 site). We used 1168 observations obtained from six se...
Εθνικό Πάρκο Βόρειας Πίνδου. Όλη η φυσική, γεωλογική και πολιτισμική κληρονομιά των δύο Εθνικών Δρυμών Βίκου-Αώου και Πίνδου (Βάλια Κάλντα). Οι μεγάλες κορυφές, τα μοναδικά οικοσυστήματα, η άγρια πανίδα και σπάνια χλωρίδα των Δρυμών, οι άνθρωποι σε μια κοινή πορεία με τη φύση από τα βάθη των αιώνων, η ιστορία και ο τοπικός πολιτισμός, τα χωριά του...
Nocturnal mating behaviour of chamois
Οι Περιοχές Άνευ Δρόμων (ΠΑΔ) είναι εκείνες οι χερσαίες περιοχές οι οποίες έχουν έκταση άνω του 1km2 και απέχουν πάνω από 1 km από τον πλησιέστερο δρόμο. H πολιτική σύνοψη διαρθώνεται στα εξής υποκεφάλαια:
1. Τι είναι οι περιοχές άνευ δρόμων - ΠΑΔ;
2. Ποια η σχέση των δρόμων με την απώλεια της βιοποικιλότητας;
3. Γιατί οι ΠΑΔ αποτελούν μείζον πολ...
Balkan chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra balcanica) is a protected species with an Inadequate-Bad (U2) conservation status in Greece. Our study explores its seasonal range use pattern, demography and habitat selection in a site of the Natura 2000 network, Timfi Mountain. To this aim, we examined 1168 observations obtained from six seasonal surveys (2002...
Information on the status and distribution of species within a geographical region is vital for designing effective conservation plans. We assessed the distribution and relative abundance of four large mammalian species in the Aoos river basin and its main tributaries with a focus on the unprotected parts of the area, by using remotely triggered ca...
Balkan chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra balcanica) is the southernmost subspecies within the distribution of the genus in Europe. In Greece, which is its marginal area of distribution, the population presents a fragmented pattern. This is the first study that investigates genetic variability and structure of Greek chamois. We collected samples from the...
The Management Body of the Rodopi Mountain-Range National Park in collaboration with expert scientists, implemented in 2014-2015, the monitoring of the Balkan Chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra balcanica) in the RMNP. During the period 2016-2018, the BC continued to be monitored, with emphasis in the Frakto Forest area, with the collaboration of the Mana...
The Sacred Groves of Epirus (SAGE) are Sacred Natural Sites (SNS) managed locally as protected patches of woodland, which contribute to the cultural heritage of a community and at the same time contribute to protection of settlements from natural hazards, and the maintenance of the water supply from aquifers and also of aesthetic and recreational v...
In Epirus, in the province of Konitsa and Zagori have been recorded sacred forests of varying extent protected from logging and kept as natural reserves. Their classification in habitat types is essential to implement effective management and biodiversity monitoring. General research on the biodiversity of sacred forests is undertaken and the resul...
The annual range of Balkan chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra balcanica) in Giona
mountain was found to be 5502 ha, with a low population density (2 individuals/
100 ha). Seasonal range patterns varied significantly, with a minimum extent in
summer and a maximum in winter (30% and 79% of the annual range, respectively).
Summer stress and the rutting peri...
We used the community of passerines and woodpeckers as a target group for the conservation management of Pindos National Park (NW Greece). We conducted bird point counts twice during springtime in 72 plots that represented the main vegetation types (16 sites). We recorded 56 species (14 of conservation concern-SPEC). The montane grasslands were the...
The current study attempts to explore the diversity patterns and the ecological structure of herpetofauna in order to provide a guideline for its conservation management, taking as case study the Dadia national park, in Greece. We surveyed 36 sites by conducting time constraint visits and random transects to sample semi-aquatic (amphibians and fres...
In this study, we carried out direct and indirect surveys in 30 Greek areas to clarify the current status of the Balkan chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra balcanica). It is an important flagship species for conservation in Greece, protected by both National and European legislation. New chamois populations are recorded for the first time in 3 areas, dire...
The region of Dadia, in Thrace, is of exceptional biological conservation interest. Research designed to develop biodiversity assessment methodologies was conducted in parts of it for two years. It focused, in particular, on the link between habitat types and the distribution of species richness for a number of bio-indicator groups, of which orchid...
Rizína (Rezina) marsh is a wetland of c. 3 ha, located in the subalpine belt of Tímfi, one of the highest mountains of the Pindos range in Ípiros (Epirus, NW Greece). In the 1990s the area became well known to paleoecologists as one of the possible glacial refugia for temperate tree species prior to their range expan- sions to central and northern...

Project (1)
ROADLESS project goals are: 1. Produce the national map of extended roadless areas (RLAs) in Greece. 2. Assess the value of extended RLAs in terms of ecological functionality. 3. Explore the relationship of large RLAs with Natura 2000 network and its habitats. 4. Investigate the impact of roadless areas on wildlife, considering the case of Balkan chamois in Timfi Mountain, NW Greece. 5. Synthesize scientific findings into a policy briefing. 6. Disseminate results to policy makers and the broad audience.
