Uncertainty in Island-based Ecosystem Services and Climate Change
Nazli Demirel, Ioannis N. Vogiatzakis, George Zittis +16
Small and medium-sized islands are acutely exposed to climate change and ecosystem degradation, yet the extent to which uncertainty is systematically addressed in scientific assess…
Topography, climate, land cover, and biodiversity: Explaining endemic richness and management implications on a Mediterranean island
Aristides Moustakas, Ioannis N Vogiatzakis
Island endemism is shaped by complex interactions among environmental, ecological, and evolutionary factors, yet the relative contributions of topography, climate, and land cover r…
The land use-climate change-biodiversity nexus in European islands stakeholders
Aristides Moustakas, Irene Christoforidi, George Zittis +30
To promote climate adaptation and mitigation, it is crucial to understand stakeholder perspectives and knowledge gaps on land use and climate changes. Stakeholders across 21 Europe…
Climate land use and other drivers impacts on island ecosystem services: a global review
Aristides Moustakas, Shiri Zemah-Shamir, Mirela Tase +16
Islands are diversity hotspots and vulnerable to environmental degradation, climate variations, land use changes and societal crises. These factors can exhibit interactive impacts…
Wind turbine power and land cover effects on cumulative bat deaths
Aristides Moustakas, Panagiotis Georgiakakis, Elzbieta Kret +1
Wind turbines (WT) cause bird and bat mortalities which depend on the WT and landscape features. The effects of WT features and environmental variables at different spatial scales…
Internet search effort on Covid-19 and the underlying public interventions and epidemiological status
Aristides Moustakas
Disease spread is a complex phenomenon requiring an interdisciplinary approach. Covid-19 exhibited a global spatial spread in a very short time frame resulting in a global pandemic…
Minimal effect of prescribed burning on fire spread rate and intensity in savanna ecosystems
Aristides Moustakas, Orestis Davlias
Fire has been an integral part of the Earth for millennia. Several recent wildfires have exhibited an unprecedented spatial and temporal extent and their control is beyond national…
A spatially explicit impact assessment of road characteristics, road-induced fragmentation and noise on bird species in Cyprus
Konstantinos Konstantopoulos, Aristides Moustakas, Ioannis N. Vogiatzakis
The rapid increase of transportation infrastructure during the recent decades has caused a number of effects on bird species, including collision mortality, habitat loss, fragmenta…
Data-driven competitive facilitative tree interactions and their implications on nature-based solutions
Aristides Moustakas, Ioannis N. Daliakopoulos, Tim. G. Benton
Spatio temporal data are more ubiquitous and richer than even before and the availability of such data poses great challenges in data analytics. Ecological facilitation, the positi…
Sampling alien species inside and outside protected areas: does it matter?
Aristides Moustakas, Anneta Voutsela, Stelios Katsanevakis
Data of alien species presences are generally more readily available in protected than non-protected areas due to higher sampling efforts inside protected areas. Are the results an…
Spatio-temporal data mining in ecological and veterinary epidemiology
Aristides Moustakas
Understanding the spread of any disease is a highly complex and interdisciplinary exercise as biological, social, geographic, economic, and medical factors may shape the way a dise…
A big-data spatial, temporal and network analysis of bovine tuberculosis between wildlife (badgers) and cattle
Aristides Moustakas, Matthew R Evans
Bovine tuberculosis (TB) poses a serious threat for agricultural industry in several countries, it involves potential interactions between wildlife and cattle and creates societal…
The effects of marine protected areas over time and species dispersal potential: A quantitative conservation conflict attempt
Aristides Moustakas
Protected areas are an important conservation measure. However, there are controversial findings regarding whether closed areas are beneficial for species and habitat conservation…
Regional and temporal characteristics of bovine tuberculosis of cattle in Great Britain
Aristides Moustakas, Matthew R. Evans
Bovine tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic disease in cattle that causes a serious food security challenge to the agricultural industry in terms of dairy and meat production. In GB, Sco…
Modelling the combined effects of land use and climatic changes: coupling bioclimatic modelling with markov-chain cellular automata in a case study in Cyprus
Marianna Louca, Ioannis N. Vogiatzakis, Aristides Moustakas
Two endemic plant species in the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, Crocus cyprius and Ophrys kotschyi, were used as a case study. We have coupled climate change scenarios, and land u…
Coupling models of cattle and farms with models of badgers for predicting the dynamics of bovine tuberculosis (TB)
Aristides Moustakas, Matthew R. Evans
Bovine TB is a major problem for the agricultural industry in several countries. TB can be contracted and spread by species other than cattle and this can cause a problem for disea…
Allometry and growth of eight tree taxa in United Kingdom woodlands
Matthew R. Evans, Aristides Moustakas, Gregory Carey +5
Allometry and growth rates of 8 forest species in the UK. The data were collected from two United Kingdom woodlands - Wytham Woods and Alice Holt. Here we present data from 582 ind…
Effects of growth rate, size, and light availability on tree survival across life stages: a demographic analysis accounting for missing values and small sample sizes
Aristides Moustakas, Matthew R. Evans
Plant survival is a key factor in forest dynamics and survival probabilities often vary across life stages. Studies specifically aimed at assessing tree survival are unusual and so…
Fire acting as an increasing spatial autocorrelation force: Implications for pattern formation and ecological facilitation
Aristides Moustakas
Fire is an indissoluble component of ecosystems, however quantifying the effects of fire on vegetation is challenging task as fire lies outside the typical experimental design attr…
