Abstract

Porodica Muridae (mišoliki glodavci) jedna je od najbrojnijih i najpoznatijih porodica
iz reda Rodentia (glodavci), a u Hrvatskoj je i jedna od najbrojnijih porodica sisavaca
općenito. Broji 5 potporodica (od kojih je samo potporodica Murinae prisutna u Hrvatskoj) te
preko 700 vrsta. Osim na Antarktici, rasprostranjeni su po cijelom svijetu te nastanjuju razna
staništa, a neke vrste su se čak navikle i na suživot s ljudima. Većina vrsta ima sklonište
kojemu se vraća (jazbine/gnijezda), najčešće su herbivori, ali mogu biti i karnivori ili
omnivori, te su uglavnom aktivni noću. Razmnožavaju se brzo i imaju velik broj potomaka
zbog čega i jesu tako uspješna porodica.
Na području Hrvatske zabilježeno je 10 vrsta, raspoređenih u 4 roda: Apodemus,
Micromys, Mus i Rattus, koje su kroz ovaj pregledni rad ukratko opisane. Od njih 10, dvije
vrste su svrstane u Crvenu knjigu sisavaca kao potencijalno ugrožene vrste - miš humkaš i
patuljasti miš - dok se ostale vode kao najmanje zabrinjavajuće.

Abstract (english)

The Muridae family (murids) is one of the largest and the most famous families of the
order Rodentia (rodents), and in Croatia it is also one of the largerst families of mammals in
general. It counts 5 subfamilies (of which only the Murinae subfamily is present in Croatia)
and over 700 species. Aside from Antarctica, they are present throughout the whole planet
and inhabit a variety of habitats, while some species even got accustomed to life around
humans. Majority of the species have a shelter they return to (burrows/nests), they are mostly
herbivores, but can also be carnivores or omnivores, and are most often active during the
night. They reproduce quickly and have many offspring, which is one of the reasons they are
such a succesful family.
In Croatia, 10 species were recorded, divided into four genera: Apodemus, Micromys,
Mus and Rattus, which are shortly described through this review article. Out of those 10, two
species have been classifies as Near Threatened in the Red List of Mammals in Croatia - the
Steppe Mouse and the Harvest Mouse, while the other 8 are classified as Least Concern.
