Ribičke priče, morsko čudo, curiosa naturae... No, što se dogodi kad iskusni ribič Matija u Savi kod Sl. Broda ulovi ribu koju nikad prije nije vidio, a još k tome oklopljenu bodljama i bradavicama? Je li to možda ˝riba - dinosaur˝, ili mutant nastao od posljedica zračenja iz nuklearne elektrane ˝Krško˝, ili...? Ipak, na kraju se ispostavilo da nije riječ o ribi čudovište već o plotici (Rutilus pigus), autohtonoj savskoj ribi, čiji mužjaci u vrijeme mrijesta izgledaju čudovišno jer po tijelu imaju bodlje i bradavice.

Može li divlja ptica pozirati fotografu? Može, ali samo ako je susret s pticom po mnogo čemu neobičan! Upravo takav neobičan susret dogodio se s mladim sokolom lastavičarem (Falco subbuteo) potkraj rujna 2008. na rijeci Kupi kod sela Brest nedaleko od Petrinje. Bio je to uistinu neobičan susret divlje mlade ptice na svom prvom letu i to odmah s čovjekom... Na kraju susret je završio sretno po obojcu.

Kritično ugrožena vrsta leptira Maculinea alcon pronađena je u kolovozu 2006. godine na lokalitetu Grubišnopoljska Bilogora. To je prvi nalaz ove vrste na prostoru panonske regije Hrvatske, odnosno drugi za Hrvatsku. U radu se raspravlja o biologiji vrste, nekim aspektima ekologije kao i potrebnim mjerama zaštite ovog kritično ugroženog leptira u fauni Hrvatske.

The presented study, covering research from 2003 to 2005, gives a new data regarding the geographical distribution and the ecological features of the Cobitis elongatoides Bacescu et Maier species in Croatia. Material was collected using a 2, 5 kW electrofisher. The research included rivers (Kupa, Orljava, Česma and Lonja), smaller rivers (Ilova, Toplica, Rijeka, Pakra, Bijela, Subocka, Sloboština, Petrinjčica, Maja, Buzeta, Glina andf Voćinska Rijeka), brooks (Šanja, Utinja, Peratovica, Grđevica, Barna and Lendava) and channels (Veliki Strug, Mali Strug) in central Croatia (Sava and Drava river basin). The upper and the lower parts of each stream were defined. The saprobic index was estimated, while for some rivers the existing data was used concering the water quality of Croatia. The substrate of the studied streams in the upper courses were defined. Most of the streams were environmentally relatively well preserved, with a small number of settlements and different types of microhabitats. C. elongatoides was found in all studied streams, mainly in the lower courses with a relatively numerous populations. Fish species which accompanied C. elongatoides were recorded (Eudontomyzon mariae, Misgurnus fossilis, Sabanejewia balcanica, Barbus balcanicus, Cyprinus carpio, Alburnoides bipunctatus, Esox lucius, Silurus glanis and other).

A comparison of Cobitis elongatoides Bacescu et Maier, 1969 populations (genus Cobitis) from Croatia was carried out on the basis of morphological analyses. The samples were collected by electro fishing during the period 2003-2005 in the Croatien rivers: Petrinjčica, Kupa, channel Kupa - Kupa and ilova (Sava river basin, Danube basin). Body pigmentation, the scale form as well as form and size of suborbital spine were determined. Thirty morphometric and eleven meristic characters were measured. The variance analysis (ANOVA) was carried out. Statisticly significant differences were established on the four characters (lac, H, laco, Ha). Scheffe - test was used for the post hoc analysis. Difference coefficient (CD) indicates that these four populations can not be considered a subspecies.

Cobitis elongata Heckel et Kner, 1858 in Croatia inhabits the Sava River basin including the Kupa, Petrinjčica and Ilova Rivers and the Buzeta and Utinja streams. We were interested to find if there are some differences in the morphological characters between two spatially isolated populations inhabiting two closely located streams, the Kupa River and its right tributary the Petrinjčica River. Sampling was carried out in June and july 2003 by electrofishing. Body pigmentation, under the lower lip ˝barbells˝ form as well as form and size of suborbital spine were determined for 18 fresh specimens of C. elongata from the Kupa River and 8 fresh specimens from the Petrinjčica River. Morphometric (28 characters) and meristic (11 characters) characters were taken the standard methods on 23 specimens from the Petrinjčica River and 22 from the Kupa River. Pearson´s correlation matrices wereused to determine the degree of correlation between fundamental morphometric measurements and stepwise multiple regression analysis in order to explain the total variation of Sl. ANOVA was used to test the differences in measurements between the Kupa River and Petrinjčica River. Coefficient of difference (CD) was used as a difference scale in morphological characteristics of analysed populations. Using the coefficient of difference we have determined differences between populations on the subspecies and species level (CD value of 1.28 has been admitted from many authors as the bottom margin for the subspecies determination). Direct measurements (mm) were used for calculating correlations and regression analysis. The SPSS 12.0 software was used for all statistical procedures. We found significant morphological differences between specimens inhabiting the Kupa River and those from its right tributary the Petrinjčica River. These differences are caused by the spatial isolation of these two populations due to artificial and natural barriers on the Petrinjčica River. Difference coefficient indicates that these two populations can not be considered a subspecies.

Samples of two species, Cobitis elongata Heckel & Kner, 1858 and Sabanejewia balcanica (Karaman, 1922) from the family Cobitidae, were collected from the Petrinjčica River in continental Croatia during 2005 and 2006. In addition to collecting fish samples, every month 3 replicate samples of macrozoobentos were taken with a surber sampler (33x33 cm and 250 mm mesh). In the laboratory further analyses were conducted. macrozoobentos density was calculated for the area of 1m2 and an analysis was conducted of fish stomach contents. During all months, the most dominant group of macrozoobentos was insect larvae, as was the case in the feeding of the analyzed fishes of the species Cobitis elongata and Sabanejewia balcanica.

This study took place in the rural area (Hrvatsko Zagorje), in north-western Croatia.The study period lasted from March to April 1999. Only the first clutch was analysed. On an area (614 ha) of deciduos wood 90 nest-boxes were used. There was no statistically significant correlation between clutch size and the dimensions of eggs, as well as between egg dimensions and reproductive variables. There is nosignificant correlation between female body weight and clutch size as well. So we can conclude that the results of our research do not support predictions based on the theory of optimal clutch/egg size.

We present the first list of butterflies of Blidinje Nature Park, comprising 91 estimated species. The estimated number of species constitutes about 90 % of the potential Rhopalocera fauna in this area.

Za razliku od ostalih europskih rijeka slijevno područje i tok rijeke Drave rijetki su u Europi koji su zadržali mnogo od svoje izvornosti i prirodnosti.Tu još uvijek nalazimo veliku raznolikost staništa poput vijugavog toka (meandri), brojne riječne otoke, mrtvice, sprudove, poplavne livade, šume, riječne odrone i dr.Raznolikost tih staništa uvjetuje i raznolikost biljnog i životinjskog svijeta, vrsta od kojih su neke već izbrisane s popisa mnogih europskih zemalja.To su genske banke od neprocjenjive vrijednosti.Jedini način da sačuvamo to bogatstvo vrsta i riječnih krajobraza za današnje i buduće naraštaje jest taj da utječemo na pojedine ljudske aktivnosti koje su već prilično uzele maha kao što su divlja odlagališta otpada, reguliranje vodotoka, prekomjerna eksploatacija pijeska i šljunka, isušivanje okolnih močvara, gradnja hidroelektrana itd.

In contrast to the Apenine Peninsula coast, the relatively rare occurrence of sea lampreys Petromyzon marinus in the Balkan Peninsula is probably due to the closenes of the steep mountains causing unusuitable hydrological condition of streams and impeded acces to the coast.Most specimens are probably represented by invaders carried from the Mediterranean and other regions of the Adriatic sea. Morphology was similar to that recorded for the sea lampreys from other geografical regions.

The paper presents the ornithofauna of the carp fish-ponds of Končanica and the surroundings. The research was conducted between the spring of 1985 and the autumn of 2001. The material comprises data on the registration and counting of individual species throughout the year. The investigation covered resident birds, summer visitors, winter visitors, passage migrants, regular vagrants and irregular vagrants. During approximately 3000 working hours, 170 bird species were recorded, of which there were 98 (57. 6%) species of breeding birds. The fish-ponds and the surrounding area are included in the migration routes of many bird species, particulary of the Anseriformes and Charadriformes. The European Threat Status is given for all the recorded species. Economic activities (agriculture, forestrv, hunting), ongoing inside and outside the area of the fish-ponds, endanger the ornithofauna to a certain extent. The Končanica fish-ponds and the surrounding area are an exceptionally valuable ornithological locality, and as a result, should be proclaimed a protected area.

Porodica paklara (Petromyzontidae) iz razreda kružnoustih (Cyclostomata) na području Europe broji 8 vrsta.Sve vrste osim morske paklare, Petromyzon marinus, izrazito su slatkovodne.Ova skupina kralješnjaka s manjim ili većim intenzitetom predmet je istraživanja na području Hrvatske gotovo dvjestotinjak godina.Iako ne brojna, na prostoru Hrvatske nije još utvrđen točan faunistički sastav, morfološke značajke i rasprostranjenost zabilježenih vrsta.Zbog navedenih razloga počelo se je sa sistematskim prikupljanjem i istraživanjem ove skupine prije nekoliko godina.Osim terenskog i laboratorijskog rada, te analize literaturnih podataka izvršen je i djelomičan uvid u zoološke zbirke muzeja i instituta u Zagrebu, Rovinju, Rijeci, Splitu i Dubrovniku, a izvršeni su i kontakti s kolegama iz Ljubljane, Sarajeva i Beča o primjercima pojedinih vrsta u njihovim kolekcijama.Na temelju provedenih istraživanja i uvida u literaturne podatke utvrđeno je da na području Hrvatske zasigurno dolaze tri vrste:Petromyzon marinus, Eudontomyzon mariae i Lethenteron zanandreai, a literaturni podaci o vrstama Lampetra fluviatilis i Lampetra planeri jako su diskutabilni i njihovo prisustvo u fauni Hrvatske tek treba utvrditi.

Data are presented on the distribution of the goldside loach, Sabanejewia balcanica, in upper and lower parts of ten small rivers and brooks of the Danube drainage in central Croatia. The species was registered in relatively small numbers in most of the streams inspected. Results suggest that anthropogenic factors caused the disappearance of the goldside loach from most streams in the lower parts of their course. Therefore, S. balcanica should be listed as an endangered species in the Croatian fauna.

The presented study covering research from 1988 to 2002, gives new data regarding the geographical distribution and the ecological features of the Sabanejewia balcanica (Karaman, 1922) species in Croatia. The research included smaller rivers and mountain streams in central Croatia (the Danube river-basin), with a relatively numerous population of S. balcanica, with regard to bigger river water courses (Drava, Sava). During the investigation, a number of water courses in the area of Banovina (Zrinska gora), and western Slavonia (the mountains of Bilogora and Papuk) were analyzed. In addition to the biological data, the analysis also included: data on the amount of oxygen, pH, the speed of the water course, the flow rate of the water course and the biological oxygen consumption. In addition to the on-site research in the mentioned areas, for the purpose of a more detailed insight into the distribution of the S. balcanica Kar. species in the area of central Croatia, the data from studies by other authors were also included. For all the flowing waters the research has covered: the highest, spring part, the middle and the lowest as well as the lower parts of the non-stagnant water course. All these parts are specific by some physical and chemical characteristics and the substrata at the bottom. In parts of the flowing water on the lower above-sea levels together with the S. balcanica Kar. species there exist three other species of the Cobitidae family: Cobitis taenia L., Cobitis elongata Hec. & Kner. and Misgurus fossilis L. More upwards in the central and spring part of the flowing water, where the bottom is gravel-pebbled, the S. balcanica species is the only representative of the Cobitidae family. Our research data comply with the results of other authors, which indicate that the larger populations of the S. balcanica species are in smaller rivers and bigger streams.

In the territory of Croatia research has not yet been conducted on the morphometric and meristic characteristics of Sabanejewia balcanica (Karaman, 1922). The analysis of the morphometric characteristics referred to 16 factors, and the meristic ones referred to the number of hard and soft rays in the fins. During 2001 a large number of S. balcanica Kar. specimens were collected at two localities at a distance of one hundred kilometers in the area of central Croatia. The first locality is situated in the Papuk mountain area, and the other in the area of Banovina. The statistically elaborated morphometric and meristic characteristics have indicated certain differences between these two populations. The obtained results are the first such presentation of the morphologic and meristic characteristics of the S. balcanica Kar. species in the territory of Croatia, and are compared with the results of similar studies carried out in the area of Slovenia and Russia.

Povijest bilogorskog kraja, kao i cijele Hrvatske, stalna je borba za opstanak hrvatstva, bilo od turske najezde, bilo od velikosrpskih osvajača.Zadojena Garašaninovim velikosrpstvom i četničkom ideologijom, pod plaštem militantnog svetosavlja, većina srpskog pučanstva na ovim je prostorima, bila vremena mira ili previranja, politički i vojno bila uvijek protiv hrvatske države i hrvatstva. Potaknuti od svog "vožda" Miloševića i naoružani od JNA, koristeći se najzvjerskijim metodama paljenja hrvatskih kuća, otimanjem i ubijanjem nedužnih civila, bilogorski su četnici 1991. godine pokušali ostvariti vjekovni suludi san da Grubišno Polje postane dijelom "Velike Srbije". Ali zapjenjenom četništvu suprostavili su se, istina malobrojni i slabo naoružani, ali junačkog srca, hrvatski policajci i pripadnici Zbora narodne garde-ZENGE.Izuzetnom hrabrošću, ne štedeći ni vlastite živote, obranili su Grubišno Polje u tim prvim, najtežim danima Domovinskog rata (kolovoz i rujan 1991.). Nakon zauzimanja vojarni JNA naoružan je veći broj branitelja.Krizni štab Grubišno Polje je 26. rujna 1991. donio odluku o formiranju 57. samostalnog bataljuna Zbora narodne garde Grubišno Polje i Zapovjedništva obrane grada.Postavljen je i jasan cilj:oslobođenje okupiranog područja Bilogore. Prva oslobodilačka operacija u Domovinskom ratu, "OTKOS-10", započela je 31.listopada 1991.Završetkom prve faze operacije, 4.studenoga 1991. oslobođen je okupirani dio Bilogore (oko 300 četvornih kilometara).U drugoj fazi operacije (prosinac 1991.) oslobođeno je područje Papuka.U operaciji "OTKOS-10", uz grubišnopoljske, hrabro su se borili virovitički, bjelovarski, koprivnički i daruvarski pripadnici ZNG, policije i ONZ-e. Ova blistava vojna pobjeda, koja je duboko potresla velikosrpski koncept, a hrvatskim braniteljima na bojišnicama unijela dodatnu snagu, značila je da stasa hrvatska vojska sposobna za pobjedu nad agresorom.Potvrdile su to kasnije operacije ("Maslenica", "Bljesak", "Oluja", ...)u kojima je oslobađana hrvatska gruda. Za slobodu jedine nam Hrvatske mnogi su branitelji položili svoje živote ili otrpjeli rane, mnogi su civili ubijeni, mnogi prognani.Njima u spomen, a budućim naraštajima za pamćenje napisana je ova knjiga.

Nedopuštena sječa šume u odjelu 10a Zdenačkog gaja u 1990. i 1991. zauvijek je otjerala gnjezdeći par orla štekavca (Haliaeetus albicila) globalno ugroženu vrstu ptice.

Budući da o rasprostranjenosti crnke (Umbra krameri Walbaum 1792) u Hrvatskoj ima vrlo malo podataka, u tijeku godine 1996. i 1997. pokrenuto je istraživanje na vodotokovima u poplavnom području virovitičke Podravine radi pronalaženja mogućih novih nalazišta, a u kontekstu zaštite i opstanka ove endemske i reliktne vrste.Izlov ribe obavljen je elektroagregatom.Prisutnost crnke utvrđena je u vodotoku Lendave, u melioracijskim kanalima Gakovac, Šušulić i u Županijskom kanalu, te u umjetnom iskopu kod Starogradačkog Marofa, koji se nalazi na područjima nekadašnjih močvara.S obzirom na to da je riječ o ugroženoj i rijetkoj vrsti ribe, smatramo da je u Hrvatskoj prijeko potrebno pronaći način zaštite njezinih još preostalih, a malobrojnih prirodnih staništa.

The nesting biology of the Whiskered tern, Chlidonias hybridus, was investigated at the Končanica fish Farm in northen Croatia in 1989 and 1993. Data on population size, breeding, nest shape, composition, size and location in relation to vegatation are presented. Studies were made of egg and clutch size, incubation and hatching.

Breding of the Booted Eagle, Hieraaetus pennatus, was proved for the Veliki Rastovac forest on the eastern slopes of Bilogora Mountain in north-western Croatia in 1992.This is the first record for the nesting of this species in this part of Croatia.The specimen was a pale morph.The bird was found as a two-month-old nestling falen to the ground.This age indicates the beginning of breeding around the 20th June, 1992, which is quite typical for late breeders.

U Hrvatskoj su u 1994. godini zabilježene 3 nove gnjezdeće kolonije sive čaplje: Razljev, Trebovec i Sredska. Sve su u šumi starih hrastova lužnjaka (Quercus robur).

Istraživanje riblje faune tekučica istočne Bilogore u sljevu rijeke Save provedeno je u god. 1988. do 1991, u sezoni proljeće-ljeto. Uzorci su izlovljavani različitim ribolovnim alatima: mrežom, križakom, udicom. Utvrđena je prisutnost 36 vrsta riba koje pripadaju u 9 porodica: Petromyzonidae (1 vrsta), Esocidae (1 vrsta), Cyprinidae, (21 vrsta), Cobitidae, (5 vrsta), Siluridae (1 vrsta), Ictaluridae (1 vrsta), Gadidae (1 vrsta), Percidae (4 vrste), i Centrarchidae (1 vrsta). Od ukupnog broja vrsta 8 je alohtonih: Carassius auratus auratus, Carassius auratus gibelio, Ctenopharyngodon idelia, Hypophthalmichtys malitrix, Aristichthys nobilis, Pseudorasbora parva, Ictalurus nebulosus, Lepomis gibbosus. Tekučica najbogatija vrstama jest Ilova (31 vrsta). Ove tekučice nastanjuju i 2 endemske vrste dunavskog sljeva: Cobitis elongata i Gymnocephalus schraetzer. S ribolovnog gledišta to su ciprinidne do ciprinidno-mrenske vode., Investigations of the fish fauna of the rivers of eastern Bilogora in the Sava river system was carried out from 1988 to 1991 in the spring and summer seasons. Samples were caught by different fishing equipment: nets, basket-nets and by hooks. Determined were 36 fish species which belong to 9 families: Petromyzonidae (1 species), Esocidae (1 species), Cyprinidae (21 species), Cobitidae (5 species), Silu¬ridae (1 species), Ictaluridae (1 species), Gadidae (1 species), Percidae (4 species) and Centrarchidae (1 species). Of the total number of species determined 8 were alochtonous: Carassuius auratus auratus, Carassius auratus gibelio, Ctenopharyngodon idella, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Hypophthalmichthys (Aristichtys) nobilis, Pseudorasbora parva, Ictalurus nebulosus, Lepomis gibbosus. The rivers most abundant species is the Ilova (31 species). There are also 2 endemic species in these rivers from the Danube river system: Cobitis elongata and Gymnocephalus schraetzer. From the fish catching standpoint these waters are cyprinidae to barbel-brime zone waters.
