Abstract

The present thesis deals with the stucture and bioversity of the ground coleopteran communities of the south Aegean ecosystems.The biogeography of the area is also considered though apterous or grachypterous forms of the families Carabidae and Tenebrionidae. In comparison with continental or northern island faunas, the ground fauna of the south Aegean ARC (Kythira-Antikythira-Crete- Kasos-Karpathos-Rodos) is rather poor (both in diversity and abundance). The activity peak for all the major families (21) occurs in spring, while ten of them, show an equal peak of activity in autumn. There is a considerable abundance of the Cretan endemic species, on the island of crete and the satellites. The south Aegean ARC features Extensive faunal dissmilaritiew which lead to three main faunal subgroups: Western (Kythira-Antikythira), Central (Crete and Satrllite islands), and eastern (Kasos-Karpathos-Rodos). Dominant faunal elements are the holomediterranean and the east Mediterranean one
