Abstract

Ogulin i okolica s brojnim speleološkim objektima, izvorima, ponorima, rijekama i krškim poljima čine kompleksnu hidrogeološku mrežu. Podzemni vodeni puževi iz nadporodice Rissooidea predstavljaju zanimljivu, ali nedovoljno istraženu skupinu beskralješnjaka s velikim potencijalom pronalaska novih vrsta za znanost. Osim taksonomske vrijednosti, zbog svoje iznimno ograničene sposobnosti kretanja, endemizma i rasprostiranja uglavnom vodom, predstavljaju potencijalan alat za rekonstrukciju recentnih i prošlih hidrogeoloških mreža. Ovim radom određena je rasprostranjenost, prikazane su konhološke karakteristike i ustvrđena je korelacija obrazaca rasprostranjenosti s hidrogeološkom povezanošću staništa svojti ove nadporodice. Obrađeni su podaci s terenskih istraživanja kao i literaturni podaci za 22 speleološka objekta u kojima je pronađeno 18 svojti od kojih je 16 određeno do razine vrste. Osim što je prošireno područje rasprostranjenosti 4 roda i 5 vrsti podzemnih slatkovodnih puževa koji do sada nisu pronađeni na istraživanom području, predložena je i upotreba obrazaca rasprostranjenosti kao metodološkog alata u određivanju hidrogeoloških veza podzemnih voda.

Abstract (english)

Ogulin and it's surrounding with it's caves, springs, ponors, rivers and karst poljes form a complex hydrogeological web. Subterranean freshwater snails from the superfamily Rissooidea represent an interesting but insufficiently examined invertebrate group with a great potential for finding new species. Apart from their taxonomic value, because of their extremely limited moving capability, endemism and distribution mechanism which include mostly water, they show a potential as a tool for reconstructing recent and past hydrogeology connections. In this paper distribution, conchological characteristics and correlation between hydrogeological connectivity and distribution patterns of this superfamily were defined. The study included data from field surveys and literature data from 22 localities in which 18 taxa were found. 16 of them were determined to the species level. Apart from widening the distribution area of 4 genera and 5 species which haven't been found in this area until now a proposition has been made for using distributional patterns of these taxa as a methodological tool in reconstructing hydrogeological connections of underground waters.
