Conservation Considerations for a Management Measure: An Integrated Approach to Hare Rearing and Release
Sokos, C.; Birtsas, P.; Papaspyropoulos, K. G.; Giannakopoulos, A.; Athanasiou, L. V.; Manolakou, K.; Spyrou, V.; Billinis, C. (2015)Wildlife managers are challenged with the task of deciding whether a management measure is appropriate or not, and furthermore they have to convince others about the merits of their decision. Population decline of some ... -
Detecting introgressive hybridisation in rock partridge populations (Alectoris graeca) in Greece through Bayesian admixture analyses of multilocus genotypes
Barilani, M.; Sfougaris, A.; Giannakopoulos, A.; Mucci, N.; Tabarroni, C.; Randi, E. (2007)The nominal subspecies of rock partridge (Alectoris graeca graeca) is widely distributed in Greece, where populations are declining due to over-hunting and habitat changes. Captive-reared chukars (A. chukar) have been ... -

First evidence of Leishmania infection in European brown hare (Lepus europaeus) in Greece: GIS analysis and phylogenetic position within the Leishmania spp
Tsokana, C. N.; Sokos, C.; Giannakopoulos, A.; Mamuris, Z.; Birtsas, P.; Papaspyropoulos, K.; Valiakos, G.; Spyrou, V.; Lefkaditis, M.; Chatzopoulos, D. C.; Kantere, M.; Manolakou, K.; Touloudi, A.; Burriel, A. R.; Ferroglio, E.; Hadjichristodoulou, C.; Billinis, C. (2015)Although the existence of a sylvatic transmission cycle of Leishmania spp., independent from the domestic cycle, has been proposed, data are scarce on Leishmania infection in wild mammals in Greece. In this study, we aimed ... -
Fluid ordering effects and density variations in nanochannel flows: a quasicontinuum theory
Grammenos, T.; Giannakopoulos, A. (2014)A quasicontinuum self-diffusion theory that can capture the fluid ordering effects and density variations predicted by nonequilibrium molecular dynamics in nanochannel flows is presented. The physics of the problem suggests ... -
