2/3 This study sheds light on the surprisingly rich bat diversity of Lampedusa, the southernmost island of Europe, revealing its role as a crossroads between Europe and Africa. Long overlooked, this tiny island has now been recognized as a unique #biogeographical #hotspot, particularly for bats.

There's an Invisible Line That Animals Don't Cross. Here's Why. The animal kingdoms of Asia and Australia are worlds apart, thanks to an invisible line that runs right between the two neighboring continents.

Ecological factors driving plant species diversity in the South Aegean Volcanic Arc and other central Aegean islands Background: The South Aegean Volcanic Arc (SAVA), one of the most notable geological structures of the Mediterranean Sea, is floristically well known. Nevertheless, the factors that contribute to s...
