The Eratosthenes Seamount plays a critical role in the tectonic evolution of the Eastern Mediterranean, including the uplift of the Troodos ophiolite of Cyprus. It also represents an important early collisional stage in the general process of plate suturing and mountain building. Drilling during Ocean Drilling Program Leg 160 has elucidated the history of the Eratosthenes Seamount from the late Mesozoic to the present day and has provided data to test several recent hypotheses concerning the…

An annotated catalogue of the millipedes (Diplopoda) of Cyprus is presented, based on literature scrutiny and on hitherto unpublished material, which analyses the present-day diversity of the Cypriotic millipede fauna in the light of past geological events.
