Detecting Threatened Ichthyofauna in a Mediterranean Intensive Agricultural Landscape: From DNA Traces to Electrofishing (2025)
Journal Article

ABSTRACTIntensive agriculture and farming activities, industry, as well as human settlement can seriously affect freshwater ecosystems and the species they host. These disturbances have been previously monitored using traditional catch surveys. New m...

Characterisation and phylogenetic analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of two endemic lampreys from Greece (Caspiomyzon hellenicus and Caspiomyzon graecus) using Long-Read technology (2025)
Journal Article

Background: The genus Caspiomyzon is comprised of three species, two of which are found in Greece (Caspiomyzon hellenicus and Caspiomyzon graecus). Both species are endemic with very restricted distribution and are classified as Critically Endangered...

Complementing underwater visual surveys with eDNA metabarcoding to detect Mediterranean non-indigenous fishes (2025)
Journal Article

Non-indigenous species (NIS) are among the main drivers of native biodiversity loss, habitat alteration, and degradation of ecosystem services, with some NIS posing risks to human health. Efficient monitoring strategies are necessary to assess the... Read More about Complementing underwater visual surveys with eDNA metabarcoding to detect Mediterranean non-indigenous fishes.

Development of real-time qPCR assays for detecting and quantifying common bacterial pathogens in fish from Mediterranean aquacultures (2024)
Journal Article

The aquaculture industry is a rapidly developing and economically important sector for many countries, thus it requires effective solutions to overcome the key challenges that could impede its growth and sustainability. Among the most serious concern... Read More about Development of real-time qPCR assays for detecting and quantifying common bacterial pathogens in fish from Mediterranean aquacultures.

Tropical Isognomonids in the Mediterranean Sea: When the West Atlantic Met the Indo-Pacific Region in the South Aegean Sea (2024)
Journal Article

The introduction and establishment of the bivalves Isognomon bicolor and Isognomon aff. legumen in the South Aegean Sea, specifically on the islands of Chalki and Alimia, marks a significant ecological event. These species, native to different parts... Read More about Tropical Isognomonids in the Mediterranean Sea: When the West Atlantic Met the Indo-Pacific Region in the South Aegean Sea.

Untangling the cephalopod market: Authentication of seafood products in Greece with DNA-barcoding (2024)
Journal Article

Cephalopod products are very popular in Greece and are considered a delicacy. However, heavy processing and marketing practices interfere with visual inspection and impede morphological identification, allowing species substitution. Mislabeling of se...

Impact of Quaternary Amazonian river dynamics on the diversification of uakari monkeys (genus Cacajao) (2024)
Journal Article

AimThe central and western Amazonia underwent several landscape changes during the Quaternary. Whereas the Riverine Barrier Hypothesis is traditionally used to explain the influence of rivers on speciation, processes such as river rearrangements have...

Fish out of water : consumers’ unfamiliarity with the appearance of commercial fish species (2021)
Journal Article

Seafood labels play an increasingly key role in assisting consumers in purchasing processed and featureless fish products, and in encouraging sustainable fishing and aquaculture practices. While informed purchasing choices are typically influenced by... Read More about Fish out of water : consumers’ unfamiliarity with the appearance of commercial fish species.
