AB  - Many amphibian species inhabit temporary aquatic habitats for reproduction to
maximize larval growth under favorable conditions, but accelerate developmental
rate to rapidly undergo metamorphosis under stress conditions when high desicca-
tion risk exists. Desiccation affects different aspects of amphibian biology such as
developmental rate, body size and mass, and growth rate. We studied the responses
of yellow-bellied toad (Bombina variegata) to different water levels (constant high,
decreasing water level, and constant low water level) in the laboratory using indi-
viduals collected from natural ponds. To assess the effects of experimental pond
drying, we investigated the effects on life-history and morphological traits at meta-
morphosis as well as carry-over effects on post-metamorphic traits and locomotor
performances. We found that B. variegata cannot accelerate developmental rate in
response to pond drying. The metamorphs from decreasing and constant low water
levels had similar size, mass, growth rate and body condition indices at metamorphosis, and all these traits were lower than in the constant high water level treatment. These changes in life-history traits at metamorphosis did not affect tail shape although they had carry-over effects on life-history and morphological traits after metamorphosis. Post-metamorphic individuals reared in desiccation treatments had
similar but smaller lengths of femur and tibiofibula, but these changes did not have
negative consequences on jumping performances. We show that responsiveness to
pond drying of B. variegata is probably associated with maximum growth rate in favorable conditions and inability to increase growth rate as well as developmental rate in desiccation conditions. This resulted in prolonged developmental time to reach the minimum size and mass for metamorphosis.

AB  - We present the updated distribution data of the Hyla arborea species complex
in Serbia. Hyla arborea inhabits all biogeographic regions, while Hyla orientalis
inhabits only the easternmost parts of north-eastern, eastern and south-eastern
Serbia. Potential hybrid zone encompasses parts of central and southern Serbia
from the Đerdap gorge, over Niš to Bosilegrad. Since the taxonomic separation between the tree frog taxa was not yet recognized in national nomenclature, we
propose the official Serbian names. The species H. arborea will keep the standard
Serbian name “Gatalinka”, while for the species H. orientalis we propose the name
“Istočna gatalinka”.

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  - We investigated the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione
peroxidase (GSH-Px), glutathione reductase (GR) and the phase II biotransformation enzyme glutathione
S-transferase (GST) in the whole body of fire salamander larvae (Salamandra salamandra) from two
localities on Mt. Avala (AVS and ABP) and one locality on Mt. Vršački Breg (VSB), Serbia. We also
determined the total glutathione (GSH) and sulfhydryl group (SH) contents, as well as the concentrations of
manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), selenium (Se), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and uranium
(U). The obtained results show that animals from VSB had significantly lower weights and lengths than
animals from AVS and ABP. The activities of all investigated enzymes were significantly higher, while the
SH content was significantly lower in animals from VSB compared to those from AVS and ABP. No
correlations between trace-element concentrations in water and animal tissue were observed. We concluded
that the obtained results were more likely a consequence of the combination of developmental differences
and the effects of different habitat conditions, environmental and anthropogenic influences than of
concentrations of trace elements in the water alone.

AB  - Methods for morphological identification of water frogs from the Pelophylax esculentus complex have changed over the decades. Still, without resort to genetic analyses, water frogs remain among the most difficult European amphibians to distinguish due to their hybrid nature. The aim of this study was to identify a reliable set of quantitative and qualitative morphological characters that objectively resolve species’ identification in the Pelophylax esculentus complex and provide a rapid and robust procedure for taxon identification. Our results showed a substantial difference in morphological characteristics among taxa. The shape and size of the metatarsal tubercle along with the coloration of the hind limbs and flanks appear to be the most important diagnostic traits. Linear discriminant analysis with both quantitative and qualitative traits as a rapid method for the assessment of water frog taxa showed satisfactory accuracy and prediction classification for all 3 members of the complex.

AB  - There is little information in scientific literature as to how conditions created by a microcystin (MC) producing cyanobacterial bloom affect the oxidant/antioxidant, biotransformation and neurotoxicity parameters in adult frogs in situ. We investigated biochemical parameters in the skin and muscle of Pelophylax kl. esculentus from Lake Ludaš (Serbia) by comparing frogs that live on the northern bloom side (BS) of the lake with those that inhabit the southern no-bloom side (NBS). A higher protein carbonylation level and lower antioxidant defense system capability in the skin of frogs living in conditions of the cyanobacterial bloom were observed. Inhibition of glutathione-dependent machinery was the major mechanism responsible for the induction of cyanobacterial bloom-mediated oxidative stress in frog skin. On the other hand, the detected higher ability of muscle to overcome bloom prooxidant toxicity was linked to a higher efficiency of the biotransformation system through glutathione-S-transferase activity and/or was the consequence of indirect exposure of the tissue to the bloom. Our results have also revealed that the cyanobacterial bloom conditions induced the cholinergic neurotransmitter system in both tissues. This study provides a better understanding of the ecotoxicological impact of the MC producing cyanobacterial bloom on frogs in situ. However, further investigations of the complex mechanism involved in cyanobacterial bloom toxicity in real environmental conditions are required.

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.

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  - During life, anuran individuals undergo drastic changes in the course of transition from aquatic to terrestrial habitat, when they are faced with metabolically demanding processes (growth, responses to developmental pressures), which result in increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), signaling molecules involved in development that can induce oxidative damage and stress. This situation can be further complicated by environmental influences. The aim of this study was to investigate oxidative stress parameters in naturally developing Pelophylax esculentus complex frogs during four developmental periods: premetamorphosis, prometamorphosis, metamorphic climax and juvenile stage, in order to examine changes in the response of the antioxidative system (AOS) and oxidative damage during the transition from aquatic to terrestrial life. Results show that ontogenetic shifts in anurans are accompanied by different levels of damage and AOS responses, which vary from the increased first-line enzymatic activities during the early period of development (premetamorphosis), through increased changes in the non-enzymatic complement during the metamorphic climax, to changes in both the enzymatic and non-enzymatic components observed in juvenile individuals. Premetamorphic individuals and individuals in metamorphosis displayed higher levels of lipid peroxidation, indicating that direct exposure to the environment for the first time and the modulation of organs are the most susceptible stages for oxidative damage. On the other hand, lower oxidative damage in juveniles points to the ability of their AOS to efficiently respond to challenges of the terrestrial environment. This study highlights the importance of ROS and the AOS of anurans in response to different developmental and/or environmental pressures that individuals face.

Results show that ontogenetic shifts in anurans are accompanied by different levels of damage and AOS responses, which vary from the increased first-line enzymatic activities during the early period of development (premetamorphosis), through increased changes in the non-enzymatic complement during the metamorphic climax, to changes in both the enzymatic and non-enzymatic components observed in juvenile individuals. Premetamorphic individuals and individuals in metamorphosis displayed higher levels of lipid peroxidation, indicating that direct exposure to the environment for the first time and the modulation of organs are the most susceptible stages for oxidative damage. On the other hand, lower oxidative damage in juveniles points to the ability of their AOS to efficiently respond to challenges of the terrestrial environment. This study highlights the importance of ROS and the AOS of anurans in response to different developmental and/or environmental pressures that individuals face.",

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  - Anurans represent an interesting model organism for investigating changes in the oxidative stress during life time, as they have unique life cycle among tetrapods (consisted of eggs, tadpoles, juveniles, subadults and adults) related with terrestrial and aquatic environment. During the early phases of the life cycle, anuran individuals undergo drastic changes in the course of the transition from aquatic to terrestrial life style. Those changes are followed by metabolically demanding processes underlying rapid growth and responses to developmental pressures. All those processes could be responsible for the increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and possible oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in antioxidative system response (SOD, CAT, GSH-Px, GR, GST, GSH and SH groups) and levels of oxidative damage (TBARS - lipid peroxidation) in natural developing Pelophylax esculentus complex frogs. Frogs were caught from May to July in 2017 at Special Nature Reserve Deliblatska Peščara. We divided development in four stages with clear differences: feeding and free-swimming tadpoles (covering 25-31 Gosner stage - GS), tadpoles with developed hindlimbs (35-41 GS), tadpoles with both limbs (42-46 GS) and juvenile individuals. Our results revealed that individuals at earlier stages (25-31 GS) faced with higher oxidative damage (higher TBARS and lower SH groups) that was followed by higher GR, GSH-Px and GST in comparison to other stadiums. Increased growth of individuals in this stadium and exposure to environmental factors directly for the first time may result in higher ROS production and as a consequence higher antioxidative system response and oxidative damage.

AB  - In temperate regions, low temperatures and the lack of food during the
winter lead the water frogs to hibernate in order to survive. Hibernation
represents an adaptation mechanism and is a part of frogs yearly life cycle
(Wells, 2007). Hibernation, as well as pre- (autumn) and post-hibernation
(spring) periods are characterized by different biochemical, physiological,
morphological and behavioral changes, all in order to prepare the organisms
for a significant depression in aerobic metabolic rate (autumn) and then
recovery to a normal state (spring). An important role in this response plays
the antioxidative defense system (AOS), especially in spring, when increased
metabolic rate during arousal is followed by high oxygen consumption and
reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Oxidative stress is also induced by
various xenobiotics in the environment and this raises the question of their
share in oxidative stress of hibernators in a yearly cycle?
To examine this we first determined concentrations and seasonal
variations of accumulated metals (As, Cd, Cr, Fe, Hg, Ni, Pb, Zn) and AOS
parameters (superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione
peroxidase (GSH- Px), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione-S-transferase
(GST) and glutathione (GSH) and sulfhydryl (SH) groups concentrations) in
skin and muscle of Pelophylax ridibundus during pre- (autumn) and post- hibernation (spring) periods, and second we evaluated the possible
relationship between accumulated metals and AOS parameters.
The results showed seasonal variation of accumulated concentrations:
autumn frogs were characterized by higher concentrations of Ni, Cr and Hg,
while frogs sampled in spring had higher As and Cd. On the other hand
almost all AOS parameters were higher during the spring in comparison to
individuals from autumn (in skin SOD, CAT, GR, GST, GSH and SH groups,
while in muscle SOD, CAT, GSH-Px, GR and SH groups). The number of
significant correlations between accumulated metals and AOS parameters
were very similar in frogs from both seasons.
All results showed that oxidative stress in the post-hibernating season was
mainly caused by the organism’s recovery from hibernation, and that the
metals did not contribute significantly to this response, indicating that natural
selection affected AOS of the frogs in that way that during arousal they were
able to produce higher levels of antioxidant defenses.

AB  - Comparative activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), glutathione reductase (GR), the phase II biotransformation enzyme glutathione-S-transferase (GST), the concentrations of total glutathione (GSH), sulfhydryl groups (-SH) and the activity of the neurotoxicity biomarker acetylcholinesterase (AChE) were investigated in the livers of species belonging to the Pelophylax esculentus "complex" (parental species Pelophylax ridibundus, Pelophylax lessonae, and their hybrid Pelophylax kl. esculentus) from the wetland, Obedska bara in Serbia. The condition factor (CF) and hepato somatic index (HSI) were also calculated. All three species were caught at same locality and were exposed to the same environmental conditions. Liver SOD activity was lower in P. ridibundus than in P. kl. esculentus and P. lessonae; higher activities of CAT, GR and GST were observed in P. kl. esculentus frogs as compared to their parental species. The activity of GSH-Px was significantly lower in P. kl. esculentus. The activity of AChE was increased in P. lessonae as compared to P. kl. esculentus and P. ridibundus. Similar concentrations of GSH and -SH groups were observed in all investigated species. P. kl. esculentus had a higher CF, while the HSI was lower when compared to the parental species. Our findings suggest that the parental species (P. ridibundus and P. lessonae) possess more similar antioxidative responses to environmental conditions than the hybrid species P. kl. esculentus. The obtained results improve our understanding of the biology and physiology of these three closely related species.

AB  - The highest goal of every species is to survival, reproduce and continue
existence. To fulfill these frogs needs to survive larval and subadult stages
until gain sexual maturity. During this they are exposed to different stressors.
Resistances to external or internal stressors are fitness-related traits that are
central to evolutionary research (Monaghan et al., 2009). One example is
resistance to oxidative stress (OS), which has been suggested to affect lifehistory
trade-offs and fitness (Pamplona and Costantini, 2011). To protect
against oxidative stress, organisms have developed the antioxidative defense
system (AOS), which is comprised of enzymatic (including the activities of
superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx),
glutathione reductase (GR), phase II biotransformation enzyme
glutathione-S-transferase (GST)) and nonenzymatic (the total glutathione
(GSH) contents and sulfhydryl (SH) group concentrations) components. It was
suggested that in younger individuals OS was mainly caused by increased
growing rate and metabolic activity, while in adults it was not only arised
from endogenous metabolism, but also from oxidative challenges induced by
environmental conditions (Metcalfe and Alonso-Alvarez, 2010). In this study we tried to examine AOS of liver of subadult and adult
Bufotes viridis frogs caught from natural population and kept in laboratory
conditions for 14 days, in order to determine possible differences in AOS that
could be related to the frog’s body size and life stage (adults and subadults).
The results showed higher activities of SOD, GR and GST in subadults in
comparison to adults, on the other hand adults had higher activity of GSH-Px
and concentrations of GSH and SH- groups. CAT was the only parameter that
did not differ significantly between groups and did not correlate with frog’s
snout-vent length (SVL). Significant negative correlations were noticed
between frogs SVL and activity of SOD (r=-0.69) and GST (r=-0.45), while
positive correlations of SVL were with GSH-Px (r=0.63), GSH (r=0.67) and SH
groups (r=0.52).
Based on the results we conclude that in subadults enzymatic
components of AOS (SOD, GR and GST) played most important role in
response to OS, while in adults it were nonenzimatic components (GSH and
SH) that were already marked as biomarkers of some xenobiotics that tend to
accumulate.

AB  - Heavy metal pollution of the aquatic environment is of great concern worldwide. Heavy metals are
capable of inducing oxidative stress by increasing the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and
directly affecting the antioxidant defense system (AOS) in living organisms. The frog Pelophylax kl. esculentus is a semiaquatic species with semipermeable skin and a complex lifecycle, and represents a
potentially useful bioindicator organism. The aim of this study was to investigate the accumulation of
several heavy metals (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Ni, Pb and Zn), and their effects on selected parameters of the
AOS, including the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx), glutathione reductase (GR), phase II biotransformation enzyme glutathione-S-transferase (GST), the
total glutathione (GSH) contents and sulfhydryl (SH) group concentrations, as well as cholinesterases
(ChEs) activities in the liver, skin and muscle of P. kl. esculentus. Frog samples were collected at two sites
(the Danube–Tisza–Danube canal (DTDC) and the river Ponjavica) in Serbia, which are characterized by
different levels of metal pollution. Differences between the metal contents in different tissues showed
that the skin of frogs from the DTDC accumulated statistically higher concentrations of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn,
while only the Fe concentration was lower. No significant differences between metal concentrations in
muscle tissues of frogs from the DTDC and Ponjavica were observed. Examination of the parameters of
the AOS revealed that frogs from the DTDC had higher concentrations of GSH in the liver and of SH
groups in the skin and muscle, whereas the activities of the antioxidative enzymes SOD, GHS-Px and GR
in the liver and of GR in the skin were lower than in frogs from the Ponjavica. The relationship between
metal concentrations and AOS parameters showed the highest number of correlations with GSH, GR and
CAT, and with Ni, Zn, Hg, Cr and Cd. Based on the results in this study, we concluded that increased
concentrations of heavy metals in frog tissues can alter the AOS, which leads to higher concentrations of
GSH and SH groups and lower activities of antioxidative enzymes. The response of the AOS to metal
pollutants allowed us to make a distinction between different frog tissues, and to conclude that the liver
and skin are more suitable for assessing metal-induced oxidative stress in frogs than muscle.

AB  - Metals are involved in the formation of reactive
oxygen species and can induce oxidative stress. The aim of
this study was to assess the effects of several metals on
oxidative stress in the skin and muscle of the Pelophylax
esculentus “complex” frogs (parental species Pelophylax
ridibundus, Pelophylax lessonae, and their hybrid Pelophylax esculentus) that inhabit the wetland Obedska Bara in
Serbia, and the potential use of these species as bioindicator
organisms in biomonitoring studies. The biomarkers of
oxidative stress (SOD, CAT, GSH-Px, GR, GST activities
and GSH, SH concentrations) and cholinesterase activity
were investigated. The concentrations of nine metals (Fe,
Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Cr, Hg, Ni, and Pb) were measured in the
water and tissues. Correlations were established between
metals and biomarkers in the tissues. The results of metal
accumulation distinguished the skin of P. lessonae and
muscle of P. ridibundus from other P. esculentus complex
species. The oxidative stress biomarkers observed in P.
ridibundus and P. esculentus had greater similarity than in
P. lessonae. The P. lessonae displayed the highest number
of correlations between biomarkers and metals. The results
of tissue responses revealed that skin was more susceptible
to metal-induced oxidative stress, with only exception of
As. In the light of these findings, we can suggest the use of
P. esculentus complex species as a biomonitoring species in
studies of metal accumulation and metal-induced oxidative
stress, but with special emphasis on P. lessonae.

AB  - In this study, we present updated distributional data for all Serbian lacertids, having taken into account the available previously published information, and the so far unpublished authors’ field records and evidence from other sources. According to our current knowledge, eight lacertid species inhabit Serbia. Analysis of lacertid diversity within the country showed that biogeographic regions with highest species diversity are Metohija (eight species) and Kosovo (seven species). Regions in Serbia are mutually similar concerning lacertid faunas (average Bray-Curtis dissimilarity index is 0.82). Comparative analysis of lacertid faunas among all Balkan countries showed that Serbian lacertid fauna is the most similar to those of Albania and the FYR of Macedonia, and then to faunas of Romania and Bulgaria. Zoogeographic analysis showed that Serbian lacertids belong to three distinct chorotypes, with the East-Mediterranean being the richest (four species). Generally, diversity of lacertids in Serbia is most strongly determined by topographic diversity, habitat heterogeneity, and climatic peculiarities, with the inflow of the sub-Mediterranean climate along several river valleys in the south being especially important. This paper is intended to serve as a basis for further research, since data on distribution of lacertid species in Serbia are far from complete, with large distributional gaps of recorded species and with unconfirmed presence of two species.

AB  - Detailed distribution pattern of colubrid snakes in Serbia is still inadequately described, despite the long historical study. In this paper, we provide accurate distribution of seven species, with previously published and newly accumulated faunistic records compiled. Comparative analysis of faunas among all Balkan countries showed that Serbian colubrid fauna is among the most distinct (together with faunas of Slovenia and Romania), due to small number of species. Zoogeographic analysis showed high chorotype diversity of Serbian colubrids: seven species belong to six chorotypes. South-eastern Serbia (Pčinja River valley) is characterized by the presence of all colubrid species inhabiting our country, and deserves the highest conservation status at the national level. This study should provide the basis for further, more comprehensive faunistic research, as the data on distribution of colubrid species in our country are far from complete, with large distribution “gaps”, especially in northern and central parts of Serbia.

This study should provide the basis for further, more comprehensive faunistic research, as the data on distribution of colubrid species in our country are far from complete, with large distribution “gaps”, especially in northern and central parts of Serbia.",

AB  - The distribution of Ablepharus kitaibelii (Snake-eyed skink) in Serbia was reviewed, based on the collection of 183 records comprised of the authors’ unpublished data, observations of colleague researchers and of literature data. Roughly 68% of these records have not been published previously. Apparent distribution gaps in western and southern parts of the country were largely filled in by new findings. The absence of the Snake-eyed skink in the northern parts of our country is most likely caused by large-scale alteration and destruction of suitable habitats. Presented data provide the basis for further research and conservation assessments of this species.

AB  - In this paper we present confirmed and potential distribution ranges of all native Serbian reptile species. The information provided herein presents the combination of the newly collected faunistic data and previously published records. The centres of reptilian diversity in Serbia were evaluated, in order to focus future conservation efforts on the regions of particular importance for the protection of this understudied group of animals. We found four main centres of species richness: three in Metohija and one in Šumadija, with 17-21 species per 50 × 50 km square. Analysis of the similarity of species composition in different regions of Serbia showed that South-eastern Serbia is the most distinct from other regions of Serbia, due to high number of Mediterranean species, with two being found exclusively in that region (E. quatuorlineata and P. najadum). Metohija is also very distinct, due to the highest number of species and significant number of specific (Mediterranean) faunal elements. The remaining geographic regions are grouped into three clusters, with Kosovo-Southern Serbia cluster being especially distinct in the terms of species richness and the presence of Mediterranean species. We also compared Serbian herpetofauna with those in other Balkan countries, considering species' numbers and zoogeographic herpetofaunistic elements. Serbian herpetofauna is closest to the Romanian. Zoogeographic analysis showed that reptilian fauna of Serbia consists of eight chorotypes, with the Eastern-Mediterranean (nine species) and Southern-European (five species) as the most dominant ones.
AB  - U ovom radu predstavljeni su potvrđeni i potencijalni areali svih autohtonih gmizavaca Srbije. Korišćeni su do sada neobjavljeni podaci terenskih istraživanja, kao i informacije objavljene u literaturi. Ocenjeni su pretpostavljeni centri diverziteta gmizavaca u Srbiji, sa ciljem da se skrene pažnja na konzervacione mere neophodne za zaštitu pojedinih regiona od značaja za diverzitet gmizavaca u našoj zemlji. Utvrđeno je postojanje četiri centra diverziteta: tri u Metohiji i jednog u Šumadiji, sa prisustvom od 17 do 21 vrste na površini od 50 × 50 km. Analiza regiona Srbije po pitanju sličnosti sastava faune gmizavaca pokazala je da se region jugoistočne Srbije najviše odvaja od svih ostalih zbog ekskluzivnog prisustva dve mediteranske vrste gmizavaca (Elaphe quatuorlineata i Platyceps najadum). Metohija se odvaja po najvećem diverzitetu kao i prisustvu velikog broja mediteranskih vrsta gmizavaca. Ostali regioni formiraju tri grupe, pri čemu se klaster koga čine Kosovo i južna Srbija odvaja po prisustvu mediteranskih vrsta gmizavaca. Kada su na sličan način upoređene faune gmizavaca svih država Balkanskog poluostrva ispostavilo se da je fauna gmizavaca Srbije najsličnija onoj u Rumuniji. Zoogeografska analiza je pokazala da gmizavci Srbije spadaju u osam horotipova, pri čemu su po broju vrsta najzastupljeniji istočnomediteranski (sa devet vrsta) i južnoevropski (sa pet vrsta) horotipovi.

AB  - Considering the need for an up-to-date overview of the distribution and diversity of amphibians of Serbia, we mapped the species distributions upon current, mostly unpublished, faunistic data. Also, we compared batrachofaunas of Serbia and other Balkan countries in terms of species number and zoogeographic batrachofaunistic elements. With its 21 native species (8 urodeles and 13 anurans), Serbia appears to be the second most diverse country in the Balkans. We found three main centres of species richness in Panonnian and Peripannonian Serbia (with 15-17 species per 50 x 50 km square) which signals urgency for their protection. Serbian batrachofauna is most similar to that of the eastern Balkan countries (Bulgaria and Romania). Zoogeographic analysis showed that amphibian fauna of Serbia consists of six chorotypes, with the central-European and southern-European as the most dominant ones.

Dodatno, poređena je batrahofaunu Srbije i ostalih balkanskih zemalja u odnosu na broj vrsta i zoogeografskih batrahofaunističkih elemenata. Sa 21 autohtonom vrstom (8 vrsta repatih vodozemaca i 13 vrsta bezrepih vodozemaca), Srbija je druga zemlja Balkana po diverzitetu vodozemaca. Utvrđeno je postojanje tri glavna centra diverziteta u Panonskoj i Peripanonskoj Srbiji (sa 15-17 vrsta u okviru 50 × 50 km2) što ukazuje na hitnost uvođenja mera zaštite ovih centara. Batrahofauna Srbije je najsličnija istočnim balkanskim zemljama (Bugarska i Rumunija). Zoogeografska analiza pokazala je da se fauna vodozemaca Srbije sastoji od šest horotipova, sa centralnoevropskim i južnoevropskim kao dominantnim horotipovima.
