(Bosnia and Herzegovina) Bioraznolikost herpetofaune planina Prenj i Čvrsnica (Bosna i Hercegovina) 1 1 1 1 1 1 EMINA ŠUNJE* , ADNAN ZIMIĆ , BORIS STJEPANOVIĆ , BENJAMIN JUSIĆ , MIRZA ČENGIĆ , MAJA BRADARIĆ , 1 SAUDIN MERDAN 1Herpetological Association in Bosnia and Hercegovina ATRA, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Hercegovina; *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Herpetological research of the Prenj and Čvrsnica mountains has a relatively long tradition, but not enough scientific attention was devoted to them. Literature data on herpetofauna of Prenj and Čvrsnica is old, sporadic and rare. The aim of this research was to collect all data on the herpetofauna for the given mountains and determine the importance of the area for the herpetofaunal biodiversity of Bosnia and Herzegovina (B-H). The analysis of data showed that the area of Prenj and Čvrsnica is inhabited by 11 species of amphibians (55 % of the total number of amphibians in B-H) and 24 species of reptiles (83% of the total number of reptiles in B-H) which differ in vertical and horizontal distribution. The registered biodiversity is extremely high and is a consequence of the geographical position of these mountains which border the Mediterranean climate zone in B-H. Key words: distribution, submediterranean, amphibians, reptiles, biodiversity. Sažetak Herpetološka istraživanja planina Prenj i Čvrsnica imaju relativno dugu tradiciju, no znanje o njima još uvijek nije zadovoljavajuće. Literaturni podaci o herpetofauni Prenja i Čvrsnice su stari, sporadični i rijetki.
