Abstract

Muzejske zbirke daju nam uvid u prijašnje stanje okoliša i bioraznolikosti, a njihova nezamjenjiva uloga je pružanje vrlo vrijednih skupova podataka godinama nakon prikupljanja primjeraka. Muzejski materijal može se koristiti ne samo za redeterminaciju, već i kao izvor baznih podataka za buduća biološka i ekološka istraživanja. Ovim radom prikazana je brojnost i zastupljenost te stanje očuvanosti školjkaša iz porodice Unionidae koji se nalaze u malakološkim zbirkama Hrvatskog prirodoslovnog muzeja (HPM) isto kao i podaci o njihovu podrijetlu, ukoliko su bili dostupni. Provedena je revizija nazivlja te su utvrđene zbirke kojima su pojedini primjerci originalno pripadali. Ustanovljeno je kako se u HPM-u nalazi minimalno 140 vrsta koje pripadaju porodici Unionidae s ukupno 6400 ljuštura. Lokaliteti koji su utvrđeni kao lokacije na kojima su primjerci sakupljeni prikazani su kartografski. Sinonimi zabilježeni u ovom radu pokazuju velik broj korištenih naziva za pojedine vrste. Potvrđeno je kako su pregledani uzorci Unionidae originalno pripadali u minimalno 30 zbirki dok je ustanovljeno čak 68 legatora. Ovim radom stvoren je temelj za buduća istraživanja porodice Unionidae HPM-a te je dan prijedlog načina obrade muzejskih primjeraka.

Abstract (english)

Museum collections can provide valuable informations of former states of the environment and biodiversity for years after collecting the specimens. Museum material can be used not only for redetermination but also as the source of the core data for future biological and ecological research. This thesis showed abundance, presence and condition of specimens of the bivalve family Unionidae in the malacological collections in the Croatian Natural History Museum as well as data of the collector and collecting location if available. Scientific names were updated and original malacological collections were noted. It was determined that Croatian Natural History Museum has at least 140 species of the Unionidae family with a total of 6400 specimens. Locations of specimens’ collection were shown on the map. Synonyms marked in this thesis show a big number of used synonyms for species of the Unionidae family. This thesis confirmed that the specimens of the Unionidae family originally belonged to at least 30 collections with 68 determined collectors. This thesis made the basis for future research of the Unionidae family of the Croatian Natural History Museum, and a proposal for the manner of processing museum specimens was also given.
