Abstract

Koprofilni člankonošci su ekološka skupina organizama načinom ţivota vezanih uz efemeran supstrat, balegu, te im je pojavnost kratkotrajna i uvjetovana prisutnošću autohtonih divljih ili domaćih ţivotinja na nekom području. U radu su objedinjeni literaturni podaci koprofilnih člankonoţaca Hrvatske te rezultati vlastitog istraţivanja ove skupine organizama na području planine Biokovo. Uzorkovana je balega domaćih ţivotinja na kojoj je ustanovljena prisutnost ukupno 62 vrste koprofilnih člankonoţaca rasporeĎenih unutar tri reda: kornjaša, grinja te dvokrilaca. Najviše zabiljeţenih koprofilnih člankonoţaca pripada kornjašima (7 porodica). Najveći broj zabiljeţenih svojti pripada porodici Scarabaeidae. Rezultati obraĎeni različitim analizama dali su uvid u ekologiju, pojavnost, rasprostranjenje te utjecaj smanjenja stope stočarstva na koprofile i travnjačka staništa unutar kojih čine vaţan element bioraznolikosti. Predstavljene su mjere očuvanja te potreba za zaštitom koprofilnih organizama.

Abstract (english)

Coprophilous arthropods are an ecological group of organisms whose way of life is related to the ephemeral substrate, dung, so their appearance is fleeting and conditioned by the presence of indigenous wild or domestic animals in a given area. In this thesis, literature data on coprophilous arthropods of Croatia is complied with the results of my own research on this group of organisms on the mountain of Biokovo. Sampled is the dung of domestic animals, on which the presence of 62 species of coprophilous arthropods has been established, arranged in three orders: beetles, maggots and flies, while the majority of recorded coprophilous arthropods belong to the beetles order (7 families). Most of the recorded species belongs to the family Scarabaeidae. Various analyses of the results provided insight into the ecology, occurrence, distribution and the impact of declining cattle breeding on both coprophiles and grassland habitats, within which they constitute as an important element of biodiversity. Introduced are conservation measures and the need for protection of coprophilous organisms.
