With the founding of the Center for Mediterranean Studies (ZMS) in 2010 a research institution came into being at Ruhr-Universität Bochum that deals with the history of the Mediterranean region and its contemporary rele­vance across epochs and disciplines. The scientific examination of this area has been subject to continual change in which the ZMS is closely involved through its diverse connections. In discussions of recent years, certain fundamental grounds have been established along which our research and our scientific activities are orientated and which now shall finally find their expression in the newly founded Zeitschrift für Mittelmeerstudien (ZfM). Mit der Gründung des Zentrums für Mittelmeerstudien (ZMS) im Jahre 2010 ist an der Ruhr-Universität Bochum eine Forschungseinrichtung entstanden, die sich epochen- und fächerübergreifend mit der Geschichte des Mittelmeerraumes und ihrem Gegenwartsbezug beschäftigt. Die wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit diesem Gebiet ist einem kontinuierlichen Wandel ausgesetzt, in den auch das ZMS durch seine vielfältigen Vernetz¬ungen eng eingebunden ist. In den Diskussionen der vergangenen Jahre haben sich jedoch auch Grundlinien herausgebildet, an denen sich unsere Forschungen bzw. wissenschaftlichen Aktivitäten orientieren und die schließlich auch in der nun ins Leben gerufenen Zeitschrift für Mittelmeerstudien (ZfM) ihren Niederschlag finden sollen.

L’examen scientifique de ce domaine a été soumis à des changements continus auxquels le ZMS est étroitement associé grâce à ses diverses connexions. Les dis­cussions de ces dernières années ont permis d’établir certaines bases fondamentales sur lesquelles s’orientent nos recherches et nos activités scientifiques et qui trouveront finalement leur expression dans la nouvelle Zeitschrift für Mittelmeerstudien (ZfM).

This article explores illegal migration through Tunisian rap. It considers this music an aspect of resistance and protest against the socio-economic and political conditions obliging thousands of Tunisians to cross the Mediterranean in makeshift boats in search of better prospects and challenging the increasing security and legislative measures crippling mobility imposed by the EU and Tunisian authorities. This article contends that harga songs document the history of the working class in Tunisia and carve the identity of harraga as people who have been marginalised for generations. It concludes that EU-Tunisia security talks and dialogues remain ineffective as long as the root causes of illegal migration have not been addressed.

AbstractThe Mediterranean basin is a hotspot of biodiversity, fuelled by climatic oscillation and geological change over the past 20 million years. Wall lizards of the genus Podarcis are among the most abundant, diverse, and conspicuous Mediterranean fauna. Here, we unravel the remarkably entangled evolutionary history of wall lizards by sequencing genomes of 34 major lineages covering 26 species. We demonstrate an early (>11 MYA) separation into two clades centred on the Iberian and Balkan Peninsulas, and two clades of Mediterranean island endemics. Diversification within these clades was pronounced between 6.5–4.0 MYA, a period spanning the Messinian Salinity Crisis, during which the Mediterranean Sea nearly dried up before rapidly refilling. However, genetic exchange between lineages has been a pervasive feature throughout the entire history of wall lizards. This has resulted in a highly reticulated pattern of evolution across the group, characterised by mosaic genomes with major contributions from two or more parental taxa. These hybrid lineages gave rise to several of the extant species that are endemic to Mediterranean islands. The mosaic genomes of island endemics may have promoted their extraordinary adaptability and striking diversity in body size, shape and colouration, which have puzzled biologists for centuries.
