The increasing interest towards the concept of the so called ‘escape from the city’, fueled by the recent pandemic, prompt us to put the holiday villa at the center of research attention. In the collective imagination the villa is a manifesto of 'the good ...
2023Water soluble reactive phosphate (SRP) in atmospheric particles over East Mediterranean: The importance of dust and biomass burning events
Athanasios Nenes, Kalliopi Violaki, Christos Panagiotopoulos
The importance of dust and biomass burning episodes on the atmospheric concentration of water-soluble reactive phosphate (SRP) was determined in the eastern Mediterranean. SRP was measured with a new rapid real-time automated analytical system with a time ...
ELSEVIER2022Genomic consequences of colonisation, migration and genetic drift in barn owl insular populations of the eastern Mediterranean
Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex, Eléonore Lavanchy
The study of insular populations was key in the development of evolutionary theory. The successful colonisation of an island depends on the geographic context, and specific characteristics of the organism and the island, but also on stochastic processes. A ...
