“…The timing of this event coincides with a reduction in summer MTWA and annual TANN temperatures in both the SW and SE regions in our own study. SST reconstructions for this time period remain ambiguous however, with some authors suggesting cooler conditions (Kallel et al, 1997;Geraga et al, 2000), and others warmer conditions (Emeis et al, 2000;Marchal et al, 2002). In contrast to our own study, the inferred prevailing climate in a number of marine-based studies has also invariably been interpreted as warm and wet (Myers and Rohling, 2000;Rohling and De Rijk, 1999;Ariztegui et al, 2000).…”

“…The clusters present synchronicity with relevant markers found along the coastline of Argolis Peninsula (Van Andel and Lianos, 1984) and coincide in age with stadials prevailed at this period (Rohling et al, 1998, Geraga et al, 2000. The above suggests that the transgression of the sea at the study area was not continuous during the Late Glacial-Holocene period but was interrupted for short time intervals.…”

Modern underwater remote sensing technology introduces many advantages that extend the range of conventional diving work providing the means to survey in a detailed and systematic fashion large seafloor area. There are two general approaches regarding the application of these techniques in underwater archaeology; they are being increasingly used to identify, locate and map (i) ancient and historical shipwrecks lying on the seafloor or partly buried in it and (ii) the coastal palaeogeogra-phy and thus submerged sites of archaeological interest (submerged ancient cities, settlements, ports and man-made structures). The underwater remote sensing techniques most commonly applied to underwater archaeology employ: (i) single and multi-beam echosounders (ii) side scan sonar (acousting imaging), (iii) laser line scan (optical imaging) (iv) subbottom profiler, (v) marine magne-tometer and (vi) undersea vehicles. The objectives of this paper are twofold: (i) to present the results of remote sensing surveys that carried out at sites of archaeological and historical interest, in Greece (Dokos Island, ancient harbour of Kyllene and Navarino Bay whereas a historical naval Battle took place) and in Eastern Mediterranean Sea (Alexandria Egypt and Mazotos shipwreck Cyprus), and (ii) to prove the applicability of remote sensing techniques in underwater archaeology showing that a combination of these can be a very effective tool.

“…The Aegean Sea, being a semienclosed marginal basin of relatively small volume compared with the open sea, shows an amplified and very rapid response to climate change (Anagnostou et al 2005). A large number of faunal studies in the area have succeeded in reconstructing the climatic conditions and documenting the general trend from the cold, glacial climate conditions of the late Pleistocene to the warm, interglacial conditions of the Holocene (see Cramp et al 1988, Geraga et al 2000.…”

The population structure of marine fishes is often cryptic, due to limited knowledge about life history and ecological habitats. Understanding environmental stability is a challenge to retrieve possible structuring patterns responsible for dispersal and demographic habits. In the present study, a combination of genetic and phenotypic assessments was applied in order to investigate population structure of the saddled seabream Oblada melanura in the Aegean Sea, eastern Mediterranean basin. Analyses of 6 microsatellite loci and 15 morphometric characters revealed that saddled seabream individuals differ among northern, southern and central Aegean populations. These observed boundaries may be related to the differentiated seascape of the Aegean Sea, suggesting that oceanographic factors are a significant stressor for population subdivision of the saddled seabream. Individual-based landscape genetic approaches and multivariate analysis of the morphometric characters suggest the presence of habitat-related limitations of saddled seabream dispersal potential. Molecular genetics and phenotypic analyses along with life-history traits provide useful informative data for the management and conservation schemes applied for this species in the Aegean Sea.KEY WORDS: Oblada melanura · Microsatellite · Morphometrics · Aegean Sea · Population structure Resale or republication not permitted without written consent of the publisher
