A model for the species–area–habitat relationship
- K. Triantis, M. Mylonas, K. Lika, Katerina Vardinoyannis
- Geography
- 2003
Aim To propose a model (the choros model) for species diversity, which embodies number of species, area and habitat diversity and mathematically unifies area per se and habitat hypotheses.

The snake-eyed lizards of the genus Ophisops (Lacertidae) have been through a series of taxonomical revisions, but still their phylogenetic relationships remain uncertain. In the present study we… Expand
Species richness, environmental heterogeneity and area: a case study based on land snails in Skyros archipelago (Aegean Sea, Greece)
- K. Triantis, M. Mylonas, M. D. Weiser, K. Lika, Katerina Vardinoyannis
- Geography
- 1 October 2005
Aim To test the performance of the choros model in an archipelago using two measures of environmental heterogeneity. The choros model is a simple, easy-to-use mathematical relationship which… Expand
LAND-SNAIL DIVERSITY IN A SQUARE KILOMETRE OF CRETAN MAQUIS: MODEST SPECIES RICHNESS, HIGH DENSITY AND LOCAL HOMOGENEITY
- R. Cameron, M. Mylonas, K. Triantis, A. Parmakelis, Katerina Vardinoyannis
- Biology
- 1 May 2003
The land mollusc fauna of 1 km 2 of Cretan maquis was surveyed by sampling fourteen 400-m 2 plots in May 2001, and by resampling six of these in February 2002. Sampling methods were designed to… Expand
Evaluation of the taxonomy of Helix cincta (Muller, 1774) and Helix nucula (Mousson, 1854); insights using mitochondrial DNA sequence data
- N. Psonis, Katerina Vardinoyannis, M. Mylonas, N. Poulakakis
- Biology
- 24 February 2015
Phylogenetic relationships of the Aegean Helix cincta and Helix nucula with congeneric species found in Greece were inferred using mitochondrial DNA sequence data. Twenty-three specimens from… Expand
Breast muscle variation before and after crossing large ecological barriers in a small migratory passerine (Sylvia borin, Boddaert 1783)
- C. Barboutis, M. Mylonas, T. Fransson
- Geography
- 2011
During long-distance flights, birds catabolize not only fat but also protein, which results in structural or functional loss as protein is stored in organs. In this study we investigated breast… Expand
