Abstract

U svijetu je poznato oko 12 000 vrsta dvojenoga, a pretpostavlja se da ih ima preko 80 000. U
Hrvatskoj ih je preko 180 poznatih vrsta. U ovome radu je istraživana fauna dvojenoga špilja i jama
planine Velebit. Analiziran je i determiniran materijal iz zbirke Hrvatskog biospeleološkog društva
sakupljen na terenskim istraživanjima na području Velebita od 1998. do 2021. godine, kao i svi
dostupni literaturni podaci. Utvrđeno je 18 svojti. Prema ekološkoj klasifikaciji najmanje je utvrđeno
trogloksena (2%), nakon njih slijede troglofili (41%) i najbrojniji su troglobionti (57%). Prema
brojnosti, najviše je utvrđeno juvenilnih jedinki, zatim ženke pa mužjaci. Određivala se i konstantnost
i dominantnost za svaku svojtu te sastav vrsta prema visinskoj raspodjeli. Faunistički su najzanimljiviji
nalazi 4 nove svojte za znanost, dvije iz porodice Glomeridae, i po jedna iz porodice Attemsidae i
Julidae. Potrebno je nastaviti istraživanja te prikupiti novi materijal kako bi se novootkrivene svojte
taksonomski obradile i opisale.

Abstract (english)

About 12 000 species of diplopods are known in the world, and it is assumed that there are
over 80 000 of them. In this master thesis, the fauna of diplopods in caves and pits of the
Velebit Mountain was researched. The material from the collection of the Croatian
Biospeleological Society collected during field research in the area of Velebit from 1998 to
2021 was analyzed and determined, as well as all available literature data. 18 taxa were
identified. According to the ecological classification, the least was determined trogloxenes
(2%), followed by troglophyla (41%) and troglobionts (57%). Juvenile species are the most
numerous, then are females and males. The constancy and dominance for each taxon were
also determined, as well as species composition according to height distribution. The most
interesting findings are 4 taxa new to science, two from the family Glomeridae, and one from
the families Attemsidae and Julidae. It is necessary to continue research and collect new
material in order to taxonomically process and describe the newly discovered taxa.
