LEBEN UND WERK DES KROATISCHEN ZOOLOGEN UND MUSEUMSBERATERS KRUNOSLAV BABIĆ

Abstract

U članku se prikazuje život i djelovanje hrvatskog zoologa i muzealca Krunoslava Babica (Senj, 1875. - Opatija, 1953.). Iznose se podatci o njegovu životu s posebnim naglaskom na njegovu djelovanju kao sveučilišnog profesora (1916. - 1942.) i na znanstvenim istraživanjima dok je bio kustos (od 1900. - 1927.) a onda dugo i ravnatelj (1927. - 1945.) Hrvatskoga narodnog zoološkog muzeja u Zagrebu. Izdvaja dvadeset Babićevih radova u kojima se pretežno bavi beskralježnjacima Jadranskoga mora, njegovo istraživanje hrvatske faune jadranskih hidroida i spužava, zatim morskih meduza i rebraša u planktonu, mnogočetinaša i zvjezdača, kao i nekih pripadnika slatkovodne faune spužava, te rakova škrgonožaca i deseteronožaca. Zatim se spominje isto toliko stručnih i popularnih članaka, te dva popularno-znanstvena djela o životnim uvjetima u Jadranskome moru, o njegovim životinjama i o nekim rijetkim posjetiteljima Jadranskog mora (kao što su sedmo-praga želva i gorostasna psina). Slijedi zaključak o važnosti Babićeva dugogodišnjega pedagoškog djelovanja na zagrebačkome Sveučilištu (1916. - 1942.) i na Pedagoškoj akademiji, te o njegovu doprinosu upoznavanju hrvatske faune nekih beskralježnjaka. Ističe se i važnost srednjoškolskih udžbenika iz zoologije koje je napisao u suautorstvu s Nikolom Finkom, i koji su doživjeli više izdanja, a smatraju se prvim originalno napisanim udžbenicima iz zoologije na hrvatskome jeziku.This paper deals with life and work of the Croatian zoologist and museum worker Krunoslav Babić (Senj, 1875 - Opatija, 1953). There are particulars about his life with special emphasis on his work as a University professor (1916-1942) and on his scientific research, which he conducted as a custodian (1900-1927) and later for a quite long time as a director (1927-1945) of the Croatian National Zoological Museum at Zagreb. The author has selected some twenty of Babić\u27s papers dealing with the Adriatic Sea dwelling invertebrates, then with Croatian fauna of the Adriatic hydroids and sponges, planktonic sea medusae and ctenophores, polychaetes and starfish as well as some freshwater sponges and crustaceans - branchiopods and decapods. The author refers further to as much of his expert and popular articles, then the two popular-scientific works on life conditions in the Adriatic Sea, on its animals and some rare visitors (i.e. the Leatherback Turtle /Dermochelys coriacea/ and the Basing Shark.). Then follows the conclusion on the importance of Babić\u27s longlasting pedagogical activities at the University of Zagreb (1916-1942) and at the Pedagogical Academy, then on his contribution to the knowledge about Croatian Fauna of some invertebrates. The importance of the secondary-school textbooks for zoolog, that he wrote in co-authorship with Nikola Fink, is likewise emphasized here. They had many re-editions and are considered to be the first originally written textbooks for zoology in Croatian language.In diesem Artikel werden Leben und Werk des kroatischen Zoologen und Museumsberaters Krunoslav Babić beschrieben. Es werden Daten iiber sein Leben gegeben mit Betonung auf seiner Tätigkeit des Universitätsprofessors (1916 - 1942) und seiner wissenschaftlichen Erforschungen zur Zeit als er Kustos und Leiter (1927 - 1945) des Kroatischen zoologischen Volksmuseums in Zagreb war. Der Verfasser erwähnt 20 Werke von Babić, in denen er sich mit den Invertebraten befasst, sowie mit der Erforschung der adriatischen Hydroiden und Schwämme, Medusen und Rippenquallen, Polychäten und Seesternen und einiger Angehörigen der Schwämme im Süßwasser (Kiemenfuß- und Zehnfußkrebse). Es werden auch viele sachverständige und populäre Artikel und zwei popular wissenschaftliche Werke erwähnt über die Lebensbedingungen im Adriatischen Meer sowie iiber einige seltene Besucher des Adriatischen Meers (Riesenhai i Streifenschildkröte). Am Ende des Artikels betont der Autor die Wichtigkeit der langjährigen Tätigkeit von Krunoslav Babić an der Zagreber Universität und an der Pädagogischen Akademie. Sein Beitrag zum Kennenlernen der kroatischen Fauna einiger Invertebraten wird auch erwähnt. Es wird auch die Bedeutung der Mittelschullehrbücher betont, die er zusammen mit Nikola Finka geschrieben hat, die mehrere Ausgaben erlebt haben und die die ersten originellen Lehrbiicher der Zoologie in der kroatischen Sprache darstellen
