Sand and dust storms (SDS) are a major disruptor in both the source areas where they occur and at distant locations. This critical review aims to address the question of whether mitigation and adaptation measures have been or can be implemented and what is the optimal scale of their implementation to negate the impacts of SDS in Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR)? Measures which differ in approach are also assessed by recordin...

The distribution of total and dissolved forms of DMSP and total DMSO was surveyed during two sampling cruises conducted in September 2003 and July 2004 in the North Aegean Sea. During the first cruise the surface concentrations of DMSPt, DMSPd and DMSOt in the coastal group of stations ranged from 20.92 to 23.71 nM, 15.46 to 15.53 nM and 14.90 to 18.73 nM respectively, while in the offshore group the mean concentrations were 2...

The feeding habits of two sympatric species pairs of demersal fish ( Mullus barbatus‐Mullus surmuletus, Serranus cabrilla‐Serranus hepatus ) which occupy the shallow coastal area (25–30 m) in Iraklion Bay were investigated from samples collected on a monthly basis (August 1990 to August 1992). Stomach content analyses revealed that all of them were carnivores, feeding mainly on benthic invertebrates, and that each species cons...
