Abstract

Porodica Niphargidae unutar reda rakušaca (Amphipoda), broji 319 vrsta i svrstavamo je unutar podreda Senticaudata. Zastupljena je s najvećim brojem podzemnih slatkovodnih svojti (vrsta i podvrsta) rakušaca u Hrvatskoj. Najraznovrsniji rod slatkovodnih rakušaca je rod Niphargus s preko 300 poznatih vrsta u svijetu. Rod Niphargus je unatoč velikoj raznolikosti u podzemnim vodama, slabije prisutan u površinskim staništima. Rasprostranjen je u Europi, a zabilježen je i u Maloj Aziji, Iranu i na Arapskom poluotoku. Prva istraživanja Amphipoda u Hrvatskoj su provedena sredinom 19. st. Od prvog popisa G. Karamana iz 1974. god. do danas, zabilježeno je ukupno 59 vrsta i podvrsta roda Niphargus u Hrvatskoj. Ovaj rad daje na uvid popis vrsta i podvrsta prema najnovijoj taksonomiji, pregled biogeografskih regija te tipova staništa u kojima su pronađene. Zbog osjetljivosti na onečišćenje, malog areala rasprostranjenosti, fragmentacije i uništavanja staništa, pojedine vrste su uvrštene na Crveni popis rakova slatkih i bočatih voda te Crveni popis špiljske faune u Hrvatskoj.

Abstract (english)

Niphargidae, suborder of Senticaudata, is a family of amphipod crustaceans with 319 species and subspecies. It is represented with the largest number of subterranean freshwater species and subspecies of Croatian amphipods. Niphargus is the most diverse genus in the world with more than 300 species. Despite its high diversity in subterranean waters, the genus is less diverse in surface waters. The genus Niphargus is wildly distributed throughout Europe and Middle East. The first important research on amphipods in Croatia were conducted in the mid 19th century. Total of 59 species and subspecies of Niphargus have been described in Croatia since the first list made by G. Karaman in 1974. till now. This paper provides a list of species and subspecies sorted using the most recent taxonomy, their biogeographical regions, and types of habitats the species were found in. Due to being highly sensitive to pollution, having a small areal of distribution and fragmentation of their habitats, some species have been included in The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species of Croatia.
