AB  - During thermoregulation reptiles suffer evaporative water loss (EWL) and the intensity of water loss depends on the temperature and the humidity of the habitat. As evaporation increases with temperature, the EWL could constrain the activity of ectotherms when water is not available. The thermal preference of a species and its resistance to water loss can remain similar under different environmental conditions and over time, or they can change depending on a variety of factors. One of the most important factors regarding temperate climate is its seasonality, and ectotherms living in such climate may be adapted to the seasonal fluctuations in the environment and show different physiological responses depending on the season. During spring (May) and autumn (September) we observed two ecophysiological traits of the Balkan wall lizard (Podarcis tauricus): preferred body temperature (Tpref) with set-point range (Tset), and EWL rates (instantaneous evaporative water loss – EWLi and accumulated evaporative water loss – EWLa). In these experiments we analyzed only adult males. Our findings showed that the thermal preference of P. tauricus was conserved between the seasons, as Tpref and Tset were quite similar in May and September (Tpref May: 21.5°C-36.1°C and Tpref September: 21.0°C-35.9°C; Tset May: 28.6°C-32.5°C and Tset September: 28.7°C-32.6°C). Overall hourly rates of evaporative water loss were lower in September and EWLi was also with fewer oscillations in the autumn. Mann-Whitney U test showed a significant difference in the total EWLa (p < 0.05). The analyzed lizards lost, on average, 2% and 1.2% of body weight in May and September, respectively. These results indicate that there might be a seasonal change in the sensitivity to water loss that enables the species to lose less water during the drier season.

AB  - Amphibians are the most endangered of all vertebrates; therefore, maintaining a
long-term monitoring of local populations is important even for the widespread
species. Neglecting the research on common species might result in many silent local
extinctions. The negative effects of environmental changes can be reflected in a
reduction of a population’s size, with a strongest impact on species that reproduce
during early spring (like Bufo bufo – common toad and Rana dalmatina – agile frog),
although other species (Pelophylax esculentus complex – green frogs) could also be
affected. Decrease in size of common toad populations was recorded in parts of Great
Britain, the Czech Republic, Italy and Switzerland, while agile frog populations have
usually been reported as stable. Declines in population size of some green frog
populations were reported in parts of Poland and Turkey.
These three taxa were monitored from 2011 to 2021 in a permanent pond near
village Zuce, at the southern outskirts of Belgrade (Serbia). Population size of the
common toad seems to be declining over the years (Kendall’s Tau = -0.60; Z = -2.57; p
= 0.01). Number of females was constantly low, which raises concern. Fluctuation in
population size was registered for both agile frogs and green frogs, with 2021 being
the best year as most egg clutches and individuals were spotted. Density dependence
effect on population size was confirmed for the agile frog (Kendall’s Tau = -0.56; Z = -
2.09; p = 0.04). Within a year, the activity of green frogs was increasing over the months
until May/June and then it was decreasing until December. The largest number of
individuals was spotted in May. There was a slight inversion in that decline in
September, when maximum and minimum numbers of individuals were higher than in
August. There were no correlations among the species regarding population size
fluctuations.

AB  - One long-term studied local population of Bufo bufo situated in the outskirts of
southeastern Belgrade (Serbia) was assessed for changes in body size and age over a
17 years period, at different moments: A (2005: n=47), and B (2013-2014: n=74) for
females, and A (2005: n=94), B (2013-2014: n=151) and C (2020-2021; n=302) for
males. The snout-vent length of the females did not change over time (Mann Whitney
U: Z=-0.89; p>0.05), but their body mass was higher in moment B (Mann Whitney U:
Z=-4.7; p<0.05). The snout-vent length of the males increased over the study period
(Kruskal-Wallis: Chi-sq=26.82; p<0.05), but their body mass remained similar
(Kruskal-Wallis: Chi-sq=26.82; p>0.05). We observed a sexual dimorphism, females
being larger than males (SD =1.31, Mann Whitney U: Z=-16.08; p<0.05). The median
age increased over time in both females (moment A - 4 years old; moment B - 5 years
old; Mann Whitney U; Z=-6.97; p<0.05), and males (moment A - 4 years old, B - 5 years
old, C - 5 years old, Kruskal-Wallis: Chi-sq=40.68; p<0.05). Age of sexual maturity (i.e.,
minimum age observed) remained similar over the study period in both females (3
years old) and males (2 years old). Longevity (i.e., maximum age observed) increased
over the study period, from 6 to 7 years old in females, and from 6 to 9 years old in
males. We revealed positive changes in both body size and age of the studied
population over a 17-years period of monitoring. Thus, our study provides a baseline
that will help monitor and quantify the impact of habitat changes that were only
recently observed in the area (i.e., deforestation, since 2019).

AB  - Hydropower plants (HPPs) have a strong environmental impact on freshwater wetlands. Small diversion HPPs (SDHPPs) with 0.1–10 MW of installed power, redirect water from small mountainous rivers into several-kilometer-long tubes, disrupting complex dynamics of local aquatic food webs and their interactions with neighbor terrestrial food webs. It certainly affects local aquatic communities, but it is often neglected that two highly threatened vertebrate groups—amphibians and reptiles—which live in and around these wetlands, could be affected as well. In the Balkan peninsula, a part of Southeastern Europe, SDHPPs recently became very attractive and profitable for potential investors after they were proclaimed as eligible for subsidies from the national budget. As a result, in year 2020, the maximal projected number of SHPPs in the Balkans increased to 4,556. According to the literature data, ~28% of amphibian species in the Balkan Peninsula use small rivers and streams in the upper parts of watersheds as feeding, breeding and/or nursery habitats. Additionally, 38% of the total number of reptile species in Europe are registered in the hilly/mountainous areas of the peninsula, and 33% of these species strictly need humid habitats. The attempt of this mini-review is to present the facts which show that SHPPs and DSHPPs, in the way they are currently being installed, present harmful energy solution for the biodiversity of the mountain parts of Balkan peninsula, particularly for local amphibian and reptile populations which rely on lotic aquatic ecosystems and/or humid terrestrial habitats.

AB  - In this study, we present an updated distribution data of Anguis fragilis
complex species in Serbia. The dataset consists of literature and Internet records,
coupled with previously unpublished distribution data gathered in the field. Of the two species of the complex, Anguis fragilis is present in the western and southern
parts of the country while Anguis colchica is present in the northeastern and
eastern parts of the country. There is an absence of both species in the
northernmost parts of the country, due to the lack of adequate habitat. The field
records tend to be more abundant in the Mountain-valley altitudinal region, and
scarcer and more scattered in the Peripannonian and Pannonian altitudinal regions,
which can partly be attributed to the sampling bias. The location and width of the
contact zone are still poorly known. It’s hypothesized to follow the Velika Morava
river valley to the south and then the boundary between the Carpathian-Balkan and
Rhodope mountain ranges in the southeast, but the hybrid zone could be situated
more to the west. There is a certain discrepancy, in the literature, between the
contact zone proposed by morphological data, and the one proposed by molecular
sampling. That stresses the need for thorough sampling in the region and further
analyses. Finally, since the taxonomic split between the cryptic slow worm taxa
was not yet recognized in our national nomenclature, this paper also presents the
official Serbian names for the two species. The species Anguis fragilis will keep
the standard Serbian name “Slepić”, while for the species Anguis colchica we
propose the name “Istočni slepić”.
AB  - У овом раду, приказујемо ажуриране податке о дистрибуцији
комплекса врста слепића (Anguis fragilis complex) у Србији. Подаци се
састоје из налаза објављених у литератури или на Интернету, заједно
са претходно необјављеним дистрибуционим подацима сакупљеним
на терену. Од две врсте комплекса присутне у Србији, Anguis fragilis је распрострањен у западним и јужним крајевима наше земље док је
Anguis colchica присутан у североисточним и источним крајевима. У
најсевернијим деловима наше земље констатовано је одсуство обе
врсте, због недостатка одговарајућег станишта. Налази су бројнији у
планинско-котлинском региону и ређи и раштрканији у перипанон-
ском и панонском региону, што се делимично може објаснити
несистематским узорковањем. Локација и ширина контактне зоне две
врсте слепића у Србији је још увек недовољно позната. Претпоставља
се да се пружа дуж долине Велике Мораве ка југу а затим прати
границу између Родопског и Карпатско-Балканског планинског маси-
ва ка југо-истоку, али постоје индиције да се хибридна зона налази и
западније. Постоји извесно неслагање, у литератури, између контактне
зоне предложене на основу морфолошких анализа и оне предложене
на основу молекуларних анализа. Ово указује на потребу за опсежни-
јим узорковањем и даљим анализама. Коначно, пошто раздвајање две
криптичке врсте слепића до сада није препознато у нашој номенкла-
тури, у овом раду предлажемо званичне српске називе за наведене
врсте. Врста Anguis fragilis ће задржати стандардно српско име
„Слепић“, док за врсту Anguis colchica предлажемо име „Источни

abstract = "In this study, we present an updated distribution data of Anguis fragilis
complex species in Serbia. The dataset consists of literature and Internet records,
coupled with previously unpublished distribution data gathered in the field. Of the two species of the complex, Anguis fragilis is present in the western and southern
parts of the country while Anguis colchica is present in the northeastern and
eastern parts of the country. There is an absence of both species in the
northernmost parts of the country, due to the lack of adequate habitat. The field
records tend to be more abundant in the Mountain-valley altitudinal region, and
scarcer and more scattered in the Peripannonian and Pannonian altitudinal regions,
which can partly be attributed to the sampling bias. The location and width of the
contact zone are still poorly known. It’s hypothesized to follow the Velika Morava
river valley to the south and then the boundary between the Carpathian-Balkan and
Rhodope mountain ranges in the southeast, but the hybrid zone could be situated
more to the west. There is a certain discrepancy, in the literature, between the
contact zone proposed by morphological data, and the one proposed by molecular
sampling. That stresses the need for thorough sampling in the region and further
analyses. Finally, since the taxonomic split between the cryptic slow worm taxa
was not yet recognized in our national nomenclature, this paper also presents the
official Serbian names for the two species. The species Anguis fragilis will keep
the standard Serbian name “Slepić”, while for the species Anguis colchica we
propose the name “Istočni slepić”., У овом раду, приказујемо ажуриране податке о дистрибуцији
комплекса врста слепића (Anguis fragilis complex) у Србији. Подаци се
састоје из налаза објављених у литератури или на Интернету, заједно
са претходно необјављеним дистрибуционим подацима сакупљеним
на терену. Од две врсте комплекса присутне у Србији, Anguis fragilis је распрострањен у западним и јужним крајевима наше земље док је
Anguis colchica присутан у североисточним и источним крајевима. У
најсевернијим деловима наше земље констатовано је одсуство обе
врсте, због недостатка одговарајућег станишта. Налази су бројнији у
планинско-котлинском региону и ређи и раштрканији у перипанон-
ском и панонском региону, што се делимично може објаснити
несистематским узорковањем. Локација и ширина контактне зоне две
врсте слепића у Србији је још увек недовољно позната. Претпоставља
се да се пружа дуж долине Велике Мораве ка југу а затим прати
границу између Родопског и Карпатско-Балканског планинског маси-
ва ка југо-истоку, али постоје индиције да се хибридна зона налази и
западније. Постоји извесно неслагање, у литератури, између контактне
зоне предложене на основу морфолошких анализа и оне предложене
на основу молекуларних анализа. Ово указује на потребу за опсежни-
јим узорковањем и даљим анализама. Коначно, пошто раздвајање две
криптичке врсте слепића до сада није препознато у нашој номенкла-
тури, у овом раду предлажемо званичне српске називе за наведене
врсте. Врста Anguis fragilis ће задржати стандардно српско име
„Слепић“, док за врсту Anguis colchica предлажемо име „Источни
слепић“.",

AB  - Two previously known northernmost localities of Sharp-snouted rock lizard in Montenegro were the entrance of the Komarnica Canyon (Nevidio), and the middle part of the Tara River Canyon (village Tepca). It was presumed that Komarnica and Piva canyons were once corridors for the spreading of this species from the Eastern Adriatic sub-Mediterranean area to the Tara River Canyon in the north. However, it had not been hitherto known if there were any other relict populations in the area. In the autumn of 2019 a localized population of D. oxycephala was discovered in the middle part of the Komarnica Canyon.

AB  - We tracked yearly variation in breeding phenology in relation to weather parameters in a common European toad population
from the southeastern part of its range. Phenological data were collected from 2001 to 2003 and from 2011 to 2017 and compared to
open-access daily weather data from a nearby weather station. Data analysis revealed no significant effect of weather on initiation of
breeding and a negative relationship between mean daily humidity and mean cloud cover on the duration of breeding season (P = 0.03).
Further analysis showed a decreasing trend in breeding season humidity in the past 70 years. Our results predict a tendency toward
longer toad breeding seasons in years with drier winter/spring. A projected decrease in humidity in this region could prolong toad
breeding season, potentially exposing adults to higher predation. Therefore, the scenario of further decline in our study population
should be considered and conservation measures planned accordingly.

The western limit of its distribution range with peripheral populations is located in the territory of Serbia. Since peripheral populations can in many aspects be significantly different from central populations the subject of this dissertation was to: recognize the environmental parameters that limit the expansion of the species range, analyse populations’ traits and habitats, compare the levels of environmental stress in central and peripheral populations by analysing the levels of fluctuating asymmetry (FA) and condition indices of mass, as well as to examine the ecophysiological traits of the species. Ecological niche modelling indicated two significant factors that limit the distribution of the meadow lizard – narrow climate tolerance and deforestation. Analysis of central and peripheral populations showed that they did not differ in density, that they had a similar proportion of adults and a similar sex ratio. Females were larger than males, while the body size was not correlated with altitude and latitude and it did not differ between the two types of populations. Condition indices were lower in males from central populations and from populations with a larger number of predatory reptile species. However, no differences in FA levels were observed between central and peripheral populations. It has been experimentally demonstrated that the meadow lizard had developed mechanisms for conserving water in the body and that its range of selected temperatures was lower than in most lacertid lizards.

AB  - In the most recent comprehensive distribution of vipers in the western and
central Balkans, 210 precise records (146 UTM cells) for all three species of vipers
(Vipera ammodytes, V. berus, and V. ursinii) were presented for Serbia. During the
past eight years, extensive field investigations within the ongoing conservation
projects in our country (e.g. Ecological Networks and Natura 2000), significantly
increased the number of faunistic records, which urged the need for publishing the
updated distribution of all three species of vipers in Serbia. We collected a total of
770 records of vipers in Serbia, of which literature data constitute 49.4% (n = 380)
and unpublished field data made as much as 50.6% (n = 390) of the records. As
expected, V. ammodytes was the best-represented species, accounting for 614 records (79.8%), followed by V. berus with 145 records (18.8%), and V. ursinii
with 11 records (1.4%). Results of the present study showed that in our country
there are three areas crucially important for the diversity of vipers, with all three
species present: Koritnik Mt. and Žljeb Mt. in Metohija, as well as Mokra Gora Mt.
in south-western Serbia. We also found 25 10×10 km UTM squares with sympatry
of two species of vipers. The designation of areas of special importance for vipers
(e.g. Mokra Gora Mt., Dukat Mt., Besna kobila Mt., Kamena Gora Mt.) should be
one of the priority actions for improvement of their conservation statuses in our
country.
AB  - Literaturni podaci o distribuci roda Vipera na području zapadnog i centralnog dela Balkanskog poluostrva, pokazuju da je u Srbiji zabeleženo 210 nalaza (146 UTM polja) za sve tri vrste ovog roda (Vipera ammodytes, V. berus i V. ursinii). Tokom poslednjih osam godina, intenzivna faunistička istraživanja u okviru nacionalnih konzervacionih projekata (npr. Ekološke mreže i Natura 2000), doprinela su značajnom povećanju broja podataka o distribuciji ove tri vrste, čime se ukazala potreba za objavljivanjem novih faunističkih podataka. U ovom radu, ukupno je sakupljeno 770 podataka o rasprostranjenju predstavnika roda Vipera u Srbiji, od čega literaturni podaci čine 49.4% (n = 380), a novi faunistički podaci predstavljaju 50.6% (n = 390). Očekivano, najveći broj podataka se odnosi na vrstu V. ammodytes (614 - 79.8%), dok je mnogo manje podataka za vrste V. berus (145 - 18.8%) i V. ursinii (11 - 1.4%). Rezultati ovog rada su pokazali da na teritoriji Republike Srbije postoje tri područja od najvećeg značaja za diverzitet roda Vipera, na kojima su prisutne sve tri vrste: planine Koritnik i Žljeb u Metohiji, kao i planina Mokra gora u jugozapadnoj Srbiji. Takođe, zabeleženo je ukupno 25 UTM 10×10 km kvadrata u kojima po dve vrste roda Vipera žive u simpatriji. Proglašenje zaštićenih područja od posebnog značaja za otrovnice (npr. Mokra gora, Dukat, Besna kobila, Kamena gora), trebalo bi da bude prioritet za poboljšanje konzervacionog statusa vrsta roda Vipera u našoj zemlji.

updated distribution of all three species of vipers in Serbia. We collected a total of
770 records of vipers in Serbia, of which literature data constitute 49.4% (n = 380)
and unpublished field data made as much as 50.6% (n = 390) of the records. As
expected, V. ammodytes was the best-represented species, accounting for 614 records (79.8%), followed by V. berus with 145 records (18.8%), and V. ursinii
with 11 records (1.4%). Results of the present study showed that in our country
there are three areas crucially important for the diversity of vipers, with all three
species present: Koritnik Mt. and Žljeb Mt. in Metohija, as well as Mokra Gora Mt.
in south-western Serbia. We also found 25 10×10 km UTM squares with sympatry
of two species of vipers. The designation of areas of special importance for vipers
(e.g. Mokra Gora Mt., Dukat Mt., Besna kobila Mt., Kamena Gora Mt.) should be
one of the priority actions for improvement of their conservation statuses in our
country., Literaturni podaci o distribuci roda Vipera na području zapadnog i centralnog dela Balkanskog poluostrva, pokazuju da je u Srbiji zabeleženo 210 nalaza (146 UTM polja) za sve tri vrste ovog roda (Vipera ammodytes, V. berus i V. ursinii). Tokom poslednjih osam godina, intenzivna faunistička istraživanja u okviru nacionalnih konzervacionih projekata (npr. Ekološke mreže i Natura 2000), doprinela su značajnom povećanju broja podataka o distribuciji ove tri vrste, čime se ukazala potreba za objavljivanjem novih faunističkih podataka. U ovom radu, ukupno je sakupljeno 770 podataka o rasprostranjenju predstavnika roda Vipera u Srbiji, od čega literaturni podaci čine 49.4% (n = 380), a novi faunistički podaci predstavljaju 50.6% (n = 390). Očekivano, najveći broj podataka se odnosi na vrstu V. ammodytes (614 - 79.8%), dok je mnogo manje podataka za vrste V. berus (145 - 18.8%) i V. ursinii (11 - 1.4%). Rezultati ovog rada su pokazali da na teritoriji Republike Srbije postoje tri područja od najvećeg značaja za diverzitet roda Vipera, na kojima su prisutne sve tri vrste: planine Koritnik i Žljeb u Metohiji, kao i planina Mokra gora u jugozapadnoj Srbiji. Takođe, zabeleženo je ukupno 25 UTM 10×10 km kvadrata u kojima po dve vrste roda Vipera žive u simpatriji. Proglašenje zaštićenih područja od posebnog značaja za otrovnice (npr. Mokra gora, Dukat, Besna kobila, Kamena gora), trebalo bi da bude prioritet za poboljšanje konzervacionog statusa vrsta roda Vipera u našoj zemlji.",

AB  - In this study, we present updated distribution data for all three brown frog species (Rana spp.) inhabiting Serbia. The data provided consists of newly collected field records and compiled data previously published in literature or via Internet. Of the three species found in Serbia, Rana dalmatina is the most widespread, present in all three altitudinal regions and all biogeographical regions. Rana graeca is confined to Mountain-valley altitudinal region in permanent fastflowing rivers or streams and it reaches its northern range boundaries in Serbia. Rana temporaria is the rarest of the three, with fragmented range restricted to the high mountains or few isolated lowland populations, and in the north-eastern Serbia, it is vicariant with R. graeca in canyons and gorges of montane rivers. The presence of Rana arvalis in Serbia is mentioned in literature but was not confirmed during the subsequent field surveys, so we consider it only as a potential species for the Serbian batrachofauna. The brown frog faunal composition of Serbia is identical to that of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Greece, Macedonia and Montenegro, while it is somewhat different from that of Hungary and Romania and the most different from Croatia and Slovenia. Serbian brown frogs belong to European (R. temporaria) and South-European (R. dalmatina, R. graeca) chorotypes. All species of brown frogs present or potentially present in Serbia and their habitats are identified as great conservation priorities.

AB  - We studied the thermal biology of the meadow lizard (Darevskia praticola) in the peripheral part of its distribution range (westernmost edge of the distribution area). We assessed whether these lizards actively thermoregulate, estimated the accuracy and effectiveness of thermoregulation, and evaluated the thermal quality of the habitat using the standard thermal parameters: body (Tb), preferred (Tpref) with set-point range (Tset) and operative temperatures (Te). Tset of the meadow lizard under controlled laboratory conditions was between 27.8°C and 31.4°C. In the field Tb and Te averaged 29.0°C and 26.1°C, respectively. A large proportion of Tes fell below the Tset range of the meadow lizard, and lizard Tbs were substantially closer to the species’ Tset range. Obtained values of thermoregulatory indices suggested that the meadow lizard thermoregulated actively, with a rather high accuracy (d¯b=0.8) and effectiveness (E=0.8 and d¯e−d¯b=2.6), and that their habitat at this locality was thermally favourable during the spring. Our results suggest that thermal requirements of the meadow lizard resemble those of alpine lacertids, while their Tbs and Tset are lower than in most lacertid lizards. Further thermoregulation studies could be an important step in predicting the impact of the global climate change on the meadow lizard and the risks of local extinctions of its peripheral populations.

AB  - We recorded the movements of adult Eastern Hermann's tortoises (Testudo hermanni boettgeri) in a local population situated in a complex forested habitat system. The average total movement range size (TMRS) calculated over three consecutive years was 4.56 ha and 7.53 ha for males and females, respectively. The largest estimated TMRS of male and female tortoises was 27 ha and 90 ha, respectively. Six females and three males (or 9% and 4%, respectively, of the overall sample) had a movement range size (MRS) greater than 10 ha. Significant differences between male and female MRS were not detected. Body size had no influence on the MRS of individuals in the sample, except on the core movement range size (CMRS) in males. Although the collected data did not enable calculation of the home range in the studied population, the results indicate that the calculated average TMRS of local Hermann tortoises is larger than the average home range in some other populations. Therefore, in the absence of information on the home range size of local adult tortoises, the MRS could be a suitable alternative for planning local species reserves.

AB  - Deliberate tail loss was recorded for the first time in three large whip snakes (Dolichophis caspius) and one dice snake (Natrix tessellata). Observations were made in different years and in different locations. In all cases the tail breakage happened while snakes were being handled by researchers. Pseudoautotomy was confirmed in one large whip snake by an X-Ray photo of a broken piece of the tail, where intervertebral breakage was observed. This evidence and literature data suggest that many colubrid species share the ability for deliberate tail loss. However, without direct observation or experiment it is not possible to prove a species' ability for pseudoautotomy, as a broken tail could also be evidence of an unsuccessful predator attack, resulting in a forcefully broken distal part of the tail.
