In 2008–2015, we conducted a detailed survey of the region and recorded 17 amphibian species (85% of all species in Croatia) and 13 reptile species (33% of all reptile species in Croatia). We recorded all typical and widespread species of amphibians and reptiles expected to occur the relatively well-preserved habitats in this area. Further, we also present data on some rare species such as Vipera berus and Zootoca vivipara as well as on species included in the Natura 2000 network: Triturus carnifex, T. dobrogicus, Bombina bombina, B. variegata and Emys orbicularis. The surprising species richness of the studied area, which is under high anthropogenic pressure, establishes a good foundations for further protection and management of amphibians and reptiles.

  • Review of Research on Plitvice Lakes, Croatia in the Fields of Meteorology, Climatology, Hydrology, Hydrogeochemistry and Physical Limnology
    GEOFIZIKA VOL. 35 2018 DOI: 10.15233/gfz.2018.35.9 Review paper Review of research on Plitvice Lakes, Croatia in the fields of meteorology, climatology, hydrology, hydrogeochemistry and physical limnology Zvjezdana Bencetić Klaić 1, Josip Rubinić 2 and Sanja Kapelj 3 1 Department of Geophysics, Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb 2 Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Rijeka 3 Faculty of Geotehnical Engineering, University of Zagreb Received 16 April 2018, in final form 22 October 2018 In lakes, several physical, chemical, and biological processes occur simulta- neously, and these processes are interconnected. Therefore, the investigation of lakes requires a multidisciplinary approach that includes physics (including the physics of the atmosphere, i.e., meteorology), chemistry, geology, hydrogeology, hydrology and biology. Each of these disciplines addresses a lake from a different point of view. However, lake studies that primarily belong to one field, at least to some extent, report their findings in ways that are associated with other fields; this type of reporting is caused by the inherent interconnections between phe- nomena from different disciplines. Plitvice Lakes, Croatia, are composed of a unique cascading chain of karst lakes, and these lakes have been investigated by numerous authors. Here, we provide an overview of the studies of the Plitvice Lakes Area (PLA) that address meteorology, climatology, hydrology, hydrogeo- chemistry and physical limnology. Our aim is to synthesize the results from each of these disciplines and make them available to scientists from other related disciplines; thus, this review will facilitate further investigations of the PLA within the natural sciences. In addition, valuable results from early investiga- tions of Plitvice Lakes are generally unavailable to the broader scientific com- munity, and are written in Croatian.

  • Neolithisation of Sava-Drava-Danube Interfluve at the End of the 6600–6000 BC Period of Rapid Climate Change> a New Solutio
    Documenta Praehistorica XLIII (2016) Neolithisation of Sava-Drava-Danube interfluve at the end of the 6600–6000 BC period of Rapid Climate Change> a new solution to an old problem Katarina Botic´ Institute of Archaeology, Zagreb, CR [email protected] ABSTRACT – The idea of the Neolithisation of the Sava-Drava-Danube interfluve has undergone very little change since S. Dimitrijevi≤'s time. Despite their many shortcomings, new archaeological exca- vations and radiocarbon dates of Early Neolithic sites have provided us with new insight into the process of Neolihisation of this region. Using the recently published work by B. Weninger and L. Clare (Clare, Weninger 2010; Weninger et al. 2009; Weninger et al. 2014) as a starting point, the available radiocarbon and archaeological data are used to build up a time frame comparable to the wider region of Southeast Europe and climate conditions for specific period. The results fit the model of Neolithisation well (Weninger et al. 2014.9, Fig. 4), filling in the geographical gaps. IZVLE∞EK – Premise o neolitizaciji v medre≠ju Save, Drave in Donave se od ≠asa S. Dimitrijevi≤a niso veliko spremenile. Nova arheolo∏ka izkopavanja in radiokarbonski datumi zgodnjega neolitika so, kljub mnogim pomanjkljivostim, prinesli nove vpoglede v proces neolitizacije na tem obmo≠ju. Za os- novo pri interpretaciji smo uporabili nedavno objavljena dela B. Weningerja in L. Clarea (Clare, We- ninger 2010; Weninger et al. 2009; Weninger et al. 2014), dosegljive radiokarbonske datume in arheo- lo∏ke podatke pa smo uporabili za izdelavo ≠asovnega okvirja, ki je primerljiv s ∏ir∏im obmo≠jem ju- govzhodne Evrope in s klimatskimi pogoji za posamezna obdobja.

In Croatian watercourses, three members of the genus Barbus are found, B. balcanicus, B. barbus and B. plebejus, each occupying a specific ecological niche. This study examined cytochrome b (cyt b), a common genetic marker used to describe the structure and origin of fish populations to perform a phylogenetic reconstruction of the Danube barbel. Two methods of phylogenetic inference were used: maximum parsimony (MP) and maximum likelihood (ML), which yielded well supported trees of similar topology. The Median joining network (MJ) was generated and corroborated to show the divergence of three lineages of Barbus balcanicus on the Balkan Peninsula: Croatian, Serbian and Macedonian lineages that separated at the beginning of the Pleistocene.
