Festuca trichophylla (Ducros ex Gaudin) K. Richter (Poaceae) in the flora of Croatia

The occurrence of Festuca trichophylla subsp. trichophylla in the flora of Croatia is confirmed. In June 1999 a small population was found on the edge of Čepić polje, near the village of Šušnjevica (Istria) growing on a relatively moist calcareous meadow belonging to the order Scorzoneretalia. The soil is weakly basiphillous with high amount of CaCO3. According to the present state of knowledge the species could be treated as critically endangered

Što se krije iza imena Festuca arvernensis Auquier, Kerguélen & Markgr.-Dannenb. u »Index Florae Croaticae»?

Why the species Festuca arvernensis, endemic to S. C. and S. W. France, is quoted in the Index Florae Croaticae and in the Flora Croatica database is discussed. It is shown that the name was wrongly used for the endemic Illyrian-Adriatic species Festuca lapidosa.U članku se raspravlja o razlogu zašto je vrsta Festuca arvernensis, endemična za južne dijelove središnje Francuske, te za jugozapad Francuske, uključena u »Index Florae Croaticae« i u »Flora Croatica database«. Objašnjeno je da je to ime krivo upotrijebljeno za endemičnu ilirsko-jadransku vrstu Festuca lapidosa

Festuca hercegovinica Markgr.-Dannenb. (Poaceae) u hrvatskoj flori

Festuca hercegovinica Markgr.-Dannenb. is an endemic Balkanic species, whose distribution area also encompasses the southernmost parts of Croatia. To date, its localities are known from the surroundings of Dubrovnik, i.e. the Konavle region with Mt Sniježnica and the island of Šipan. The general distribution and taxonomical level of this species are discussed, the general distribution in Croatia is completed, and a determination key for distinction from similar taxa is enclosed.Festuca hercegovinica Markgr.-Dannenb. je endemična balkanska vrsta čiji areal zahvaća i krajnje jugoistočne dijelove Hrvatske. Do danas su njena nalazišta poznata iz okolice Dubrovnika, Konavala sa Sniježnicom i otoka Šipana. Daje se osvrt na opću rasprostranjenost i taksonomski rang ove vrste, a priložen je i ključ za determinaciju i razlikovanje od sličnih vrsta

Sporobolus pungens (Schreber) Kunth (Poaceae), rijetka i ugrožena psamofitska biljna vrsta u Hrvatskoj

Sporobolus pungens (Schreber) Kunth is rare and endangered psammophytic plant species, with four localities in Croatia known to date, all on the central and south Dalmatian islands. In October 2001 a new locality was found on the island of Mljet, in Blaca Bay seashore sands, as a part of the psammo-halophytic community Echinophoro-Elymetum farcti (Ammophilion).Sporobolus pungens (Schreber) Kunth, rijetka i ugrožena psamofitska biljna vrsta, dosad je bila poznata s četiri nalazišta u Hrvatskoj na srednjodalmatinskim i južnodalmatinskim otocima. U mjesecu listopadu 2001. nađeno je novo nalazište na otoku Mljetu, u uvali Blaca, na obalnim pijescima u sastavu psamohalofitske asocijacije Echinophoro-Elymetum farcti (Ammophilion)

Contributions to the bryophyte flora of croatia III. Plitvička jezera National Park and adjacent areas

Bryological fi eld surveys in Plitvička jezera National Park and adjacent areas (Slunjčica river and Vrhovinsko polje karst fi eld) carried out in 2012 and 2013 resulted in a list of 207 species (39 liverworts and 168 mosses). Two species are reported for the fi rst time from Croatia (Ephemerum minutissimum and Pohlia annotina). Six species are included in the Red data book of European bryophytes (Buxbaumia viridis, Dicranum viride, Hamatocaulis vernicosus, Anomodon rostratus,Rhynchostegiella tenuicaulis and Taxiphyllum densifolium). The first three are listed in the Bern Convention and the EU Habitats and Species Directive as well; in addition, other species, especially Sphagnum spp. rare in SE Europe were also located in the area

Stipetum novakii ass. nova – a new association of serpentine rocky grassland vegetation (Halacsyetalia sendtneri) in Serbia

Phytosociological characteristics of grassland communities above serpentines (order Halacsyetalia sendtneri H. Ritter-Studni~ka 1970) in Serbia, are analyzed according to Braun-Blanquet methodology. In order to detect the basic floristic differentiation of analyzed communities ordinary correspondence analysiswas applied. Cluster analysis was also performed to see the structure and separation of the communities based on the floristic composition. In order to determine diagnostic species, fidelity indices with presence/ absence data and the size of all groups standardized to equal size were calculated. The new association Stipetum novakii is described in open rocky serpentine grasslands in Brdjani Gorge

REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE OF HARES (Lepus europaeus) IN SELECTED FARMS IN CROATIA

Istraživanje pokazatelja reproduktivne djelotvornisti zečeva u kaveznom uzgoju provedeno je tijekom četiri uzgojne sezone od 2001. do 2004. godine, u dva uzgajališta. Ukupno je obuhvaćeno 107 parova tijekom njihove prve reproduktivne sezone. Uzgajališta su se nalazila u dva klimatski različita područja: uzgajalište Volavje (kontinentalna Hrvatska) te uzgajalište Valtura-Vodnjan (Istra-mediteranska Hrvatska). Prosječno je godišnje utvrđeno od 24.70 do 25.37 % neproduktivnih parova. Značajno veći broj legala po paru utvrđen je u uzgajalištu Valtura-Vodnjan (5 legala prema 4.6 u uzgajalištu Volavje, P<0.05). Broj mladunčadi po paru godišnje iznosio je 11.27 (Volavje) i 11.34 (Valtura-Vodnjan). Prosječna veličina legla kretala se od 2.41(Volavje) do 2.59 mladunčadi (Valtura-Vodnjan). Godišnje je doba (mjesec) imalo značajan utjecaj na veličinu legla u oba uzgajališta (P<0.01). Nije bilo značajnije razlike u broju odbijene mladunčadi po leglu za oba uzgajališta (1.61-1.68). Ukupni gubici mladunčadi su prosječno iznosili 36.59-37.83 %, ovisno o lokalitetu. Najveća smrtnost mladunčadi zabilježena je do odbića.The research on indicators of reproduction efficiency of brown hares in cage breeding in Croatia was conducted from 2001 to 2004. There were 107 pairs included in the research during their first reproductive season. Breeding farms were located in two different climatic areas: breeding farm Volavje (continental Croatia) and Valtura-Vodnjan (Istria). On average there were 24.70 to 25.37% non-productive pairs per year. Considerably larger number of litters per pair was achieved in Valtura-Vodnjan breeding farms (5 litters compared to 4.6 in Volavje farm, p<0.05). The number of leverets per pair was 11.27 (Volavje) and 11.34 (Valtura-Vodnjan). The average litter size ranged from 2.41 (Volavje) to 2.59 leverets (Valtura-Vodnjan). Season had a significant influence on litter size in both breeding farms (p<0.01). There was no significant difference in the number of weaned hares per litter in both farms (1.61-1.68). Total leveret mortality on average ranged from 36.59 to 37.83% depending on the locality. Most deaths occurred before weaning

New localities of the subendemic species Berberis croatica, Teucrium arduini and Micromeria croatica in the Dinaric Alps

New localities of three subendemic species (Berberis croatica, Teucrium arduini and Micromeria croatica) have been found in the Dinaric Alps. Berberis croatica was found at ten new locations, nine of them in Croatia and one in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Teucrium arduini was found on Mt Učka, Mt Velebit, Mt Biokovo and Mt Sniježnica, at nine new locations while Micromeria croatica was found at four new locations, only on Mt Velebit
