AB  - The modular organization of tetrapod paired limbs and girdles, influenced by the expression of Hox genes is one of the primary driving forces of the evolution of animal locomotion. The increased morphological diversification of the paired limbs is correlated with reduced between-limb covariation, while correlation within the elements is usually higher than between the elements. The tailed amphibians, such as Lissotriton newts, have a biphasic lifestyle with aquatic and terrestrial environments imposing different constraints on limb skeleton. By employing the methods of computerized microtomography and 3D geometric morphometrics, we explored the pattern of morphological variation, disparity, modularity and morphological integration in the proximal parts of the anterior limbs of six species of Eurasian small bodied newts. Although the species significantly differ in limb shape, there is a great overlap in morphology of scapula and humerus, and there are no differences in morphological disparity. For the scapula, the shape differences related to the duration of the aquatic period are in length, depth and curvature. The shape of the humerus is not affected by the length of aquatic period, and shape differences between the species are related to robustness of the body. The length of aquatic period has statistically supported phylogenetic signal. The scapula and humerus are structures of varying modularity. For the humerus, the strongest support on the phylogenetic level was for the capitulum/shaft hypothesis, which can also be interpreted as functional modularity. For the scapula, the greatest support was for the antero-posterior hypothesis of modularity in case of Lissotriton vulgaris, which can be explained by different functional roles and muscle insertion patterns, while there was no phylogenetic modularity. The modularity patterns seem to correspond with the general tetrapod pattern, with modularity being more pronounced in the distal structure. The future research should include more salamandrid taxa with different habitat preferences and both adult and larval stages, in order to explore how size, phylogeny and ecology affect the morphology and covariation patterns of limbs.

AB  - Abstract: Twenty-three morphometric characteristics of spiny-cheek crayfish Faxonus limosus from Danube, Serbia, were analyzed to describe the general body shape. Forty-eight specimens were caught in May 2022 and January 2023 and measured for morphometric variation. Also, the values of two crayfish condition indices, Fulton’s condition factor (FCF) and crayfish constant (CC), were determined. Most of the analyzed characteristics were moderately variable (CV 10-30%). Principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to the morphological measurements. All the variables make similar contributions to the variance of the first principal component. The highest contributions are from variables CEF and ARL.ARW, CPH, ABH, CPW, and ROW significantly contributed to the second principal component variance. The population of spiny-cheek crayfish at the investigated site has a relatively stable age structure.

AB  - In this paper, we present the recapitulation of the research of amphibian and
reptile fauna in the Smederevo municipality. For Serbia, three amphibian species
were for the first time detected in Smederevo – (Triturus dobrogicus, Pelobates
balcanicus and Pelophylax lessonae). In the literature, occurrence of Vipera berus
was also mentioned. Since Smederevo is an important industrial centre, many
amphibian and reptile habitats were lost due to urbanization, degradation and
pollution, and surface waters were especially affected. Habitat degradation
probably led to the local extinction of population of the Adder. Still, increased field
effort and inclusion of citizen science led to the first discoveries of Pelobates
fuscus and Coronella austriaca in Smederevo, and re-confirmation of the historical
entries of Salamandra salamandra and Triturus dobrogicus. The remaining species
were mapped to a greater extent, and some species which were previously known
from only a few records (Lissotriton vulgaris, Emys orbicularis and Zamenis
longissimus) are now mapped in much wider area. The presence of human
introduced reptile species such as Trachemys scripta ssp., Mediodactylus kotschyi
and Pogona vitticeps is also recorded, with Kotschyi’s gecko probably being
naturalized. Future research should focus on re-confirmation of the remaining historical records (Pelobates balcanicus) and identifying more habitats of the rare and vulnerable species and protecting them.
AB  - У овом раду, приказујемо рекапитулацију истраживања фауне
водоземаца и гмизаваца на подручју општине Смедерево. За подручје
Србије, у Смедереву су 1948. године први пут детектоване три врсте
водоземаца – подунавски велики мрмољак (Triturus dobrogicus),
балканска чешњарка (Pelobates balcanicus) и мала зелена жаба (Pelo-

деградације и загађења, при чему су површинске воде биле нарочито

изумирања шарке. Ипак, интензиван теренски рад и укључење грађана
у науку довели су до открића обичне чешњарке (Pelobates fuscus) и
смукуље (Coronella austriaca) у Смедереву и потврђивања присуства
шареног даждевњака (Salamandra salamandra) и подунавског великог
мрмољка. Преостале врсте су мапиране у много већој мери него
раније, а неке врсте чије присуство је било познато само на малом
броју локалитета – мали мрмољак (Lissotriton vulgaris), барска корњача (Emys orbicularis) и Ескулапов смук (Zamenis longissimus) су сада
много више заступљене. Детектовано је и присуство антропогено
интродукованих гмизаваца – црвеноухе / жутоухе корњаче (Trachemys
scripta ssp.), Кочијевог гекона (Mediodactylus kotschyi) и брадате агаме
(Pogona vitticeps), при чему је Кочијев гекон највероватније натурализован. Будућа истраживања требало би усресредити на поновно
потврђивање историјских налаза (балканске чешњарке), идентификацију и заштиту станишта ретких и угрожених врста.

AB  - Serially homologous structures may have complex patterns of regionalization and
morphological integration, influenced by developmental Hox gene expression and
functional constraints. The vertebral column, consisting of a number of repeated,
developmentally constrained, and highly integrated units—vertebrae—is such a
complex serially homologous structure. Functional diversification increases regionalization
and modularity of the vertebral column, particularly in mammals. For
salamanders, three concepts of regionalization of the vertebral column have been
proposed, recognizing one, two, or three presacral regions. Using three‐dimensional
geometric morphometrics on vertebra models acquired with microcomputerized
tomography scanning, we explored the covariation of vertebrae in four closely
related taxa of small‐bodied newts in the genus Lissotriton. The data were analyzed
by segmented linear regression to explore patterns of vertebral regionalization and
by a two‐block partial least squares method to test for morphological integration. All
taxa show a morphological shift posterior to the fifth trunk vertebra, which
corresponds to the two‐region concept. However, morphological integration is
found to be strongest in the mid‐trunk. Taken jointly, these results indicate a highly
integrated presacral vertebral column with a subtle two‐region differentiation. The
results are discussed in relation to specific functional requirements, developmental
and phylogenetic constraints, and specific requirements posed by a biphasic life
cycle and different locomotor modes (swimming vs. walking). Further research
should be conducted on different ontogenetic stages and closely related but
ecologically differentiated species.

AB  - Alpine habitats are exposed to increasing anthropogenic pressure and climate change. The negative impacts can lead to chronic stress that can affect the survival and reproductive success of individuals and even lead to population extinction. In this study, we analyse different morphological and ecological traits and indices of abiotic and biotic stressors (such as head size and shape, fluctuating asymmetry, body condition index, tail autotomy, and population abundance) in alpine and subalpine populations of two lacertid species (Zootoca vivipara and Lacerta agilis) from Serbia and North Macedonia. These lizards live under different conditions: allotopy/syntopy, different anthropogenic pressure, and different levels of habitat protection. We found differences between syntopic and allotopic populations in pileus size, body condition index (in both species), pileus shape, fluctuating asymmetry (in L. agilis), and abundance (in Z. vivipara). Differences between populations under anthropogenic pressure and populations without it were observed in pileus shape, body condition index (in both species), pileus size, fluctuating asymmetry, tail autotomy and abundance (in L. agilis). On the basis of our results, it is necessary to include other stress indicators in addition to fluctuating asymmetry to quickly observe and quantify the negative effects of threat factors and apply protective measures.

AB  - The sand lizard (Lacerta agilis), which occupies a large part of temperate Eurasia and includes several morphologically and genetically distinct lineages, is a model species for life-history studies. Yet, for major parts of the species range, basic data on female reproductive traits are lacking. Here we present the first data on female reproductive traits of Lacerta agilis bosnica, a poorly studied lineage inhabiting montane areas of the Balkan Peninsula. Ten females caught in mid-June 2017 on Mt. Maljen (950 m a.s.l.) in western Serbia were monitored and examined in the lab, as well as their eggs and hatchlings. We additionally examined the state and number of oocytes in 31 females from scientific collections. Mean clutch size is quite high (8.0 ± 0.4 eggs) in relation to small mean snout-vent length of gravid females (74 ± 1 mm), mean relative clutch mass is relatively low (0.37 ± 0.02), and egg incubation period (51 ± 1 days at 24-26 °C) is rather long for L. agilis. While mean values of the above traits are within the variation range found across conspecific populations studied thus far, mean values for egg size (mass, 0.42 ± 0.02 g; length, 11.8 ± 0.2 mm; width, 7.7± 0.1 mm) and hatchling size (mass, 0.47 ± 0.03 g; SVL, 25.0 ± 0.5 mm; tail length, 30.4 ± 1.6 mm) are clearly smaller than in all previously studied populations of this species.

AB  - The town of Smederevo is of considerable historical significance for Serbian batrachology and herpetology. Three amphibian species were, for Serbia, first time detected there – Danube crested newt (Triturus dobrogicus), Balkan spadefoot toad (Pelobates balcanicus) and Pool frog (Pelophylax lessonae). One of the rare lowland occurrences of Adder (Vipera berus) was also mentioned there. Still, during the second half of the XX century, Smederevo became an important industrial hub and went through considerable urbanization and habitat degradation. Surface waters were especially severely affected, with changed water regimes (parts of the waterbed of the Jezava River were filled in) and pollution by sewage and industrial waste. Consequently, some of the amphibians and reptiles published for Smederevo are, by now, present only as old (pre-1993) literature records. That is the case of the Danube crested newt, Fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra), Balkan spadefoot toad and Adder, the latter being declared locally extinct. The three amphibian species could still be expected in the remaining habitat fragments – since being very secretive, they could be hard to detect. Still, in the literature, some were denoted as “common”. Fire salamander was reported from the habitats in the centre of town. Those habitats have since been obliterated by construction. On the other hand, human activities had led to the introduction of some alien species – Kotschyi’s gecko (Mediodactylus kotschyi) and Slider turtle (Trachemys scripta ssp.). Also, the most recent data revealed the presence of two previously unrecorded species for Smederevo – a citizen’s observation of the Smooth snake (Coronella austriaca) and the author’s own finding of the Common spadefoot toad (Pelobates fuscus). Confirmation of some other potentially present species could be expected in the future, with the increased field effort.Future efforts should be concentrated on finding possible remaining enclaves of the mentioned native species and, if possible, protecting their habitats.

AB  - In Serbia, the southern and south-eastern parts of the country have the highest diversity of Reptile fauna. Due to the Mediterranean influence that is spreading across the North Macedonia to the north, some Mediterranean Reptile species have been recorded in Serbia, but there is a possibility that there are still unregistered ones. Concerning the importance of this part of Serbia, intensive faunistic research was done, which resulted in the discovery of L. trilineata, a new species for the herpetofauna of Serbia, in several localities. At each of explored localities, we found only one or few individuals of L. trilineata. This result lays the foundation for future population and conservation research of L. trilineata on the margins of its distribution.

AB  - We present the updated distribution of batracho- and herpetofauna in southern
and south-eastern Serbia, based on literature and new field records for 16
amphibian and 22 reptile species. In these two biogeographic regions, already
recognized as biodiversity hotspots, we discovered two new amphibian species
with limited distribution: Hyla orientalis and Pelobates balcanicus. Also, one
species (Triturus ivanbureshi) has restricted distribution, while one (Bombina
bombina) is rare. Four reptile species have limited distributions and six are rare in
these regions. The presence of hybrid zones and the influence of the Mediterranean
climate make southern and south-eastern Serbia areas of great importance and the
target for future ecological and conservation studies in Serbia.
AB  - У овом раду дато је ажурирано и систематизовано распрострањење
батрахо и херепетофауне јужне и југоисточне Србије, на основу
публикованих литературних, као и нових теренских података за 16
врста водоземаца и 22 врсте гмизаваца. У ова два биогеографска
региона, претходно препознатих као подручја високог специјског
диверзитета, забележене су две нове врсте водоземаца са ограниченим
распрострањењем: Hyla orientalis и Pelobates balcanicus. Такође, једна
врста репатих водоземца (Triturus ivanbureshi) има ограничено распрострањење, док је Bombina bombina веома ретка. Четири врсте
гмизаваца су са ограниченом дистрибуцијом, а још шест су веома
ретке у ова два биогеографска региона.
Од укупно 38 врста водоземаца и гмизаваца потврђених у регионима јужне и југоисточне Србије, шест је рањиво/готово угрожено према
критеријумима IUCN-а, осам су на анексу II Директиве о стаништима,
а две су на апендиксу II CITES-а. На националном нивоу, 10 врста се
сматра критично угроженим, угроженим или рањивим по критеријумима IUCN-а, три врсте су заштићене, а 29 строго заштићене законом.
Као резултат ових истраживања, две локације у јужној Србији:
Левосоје (Бујановац) и Славујевац (Прешево), предложене су за
заштиту у окивиру успостављања националних еколошких мрежа у
Србији.
Присуство хибридних зона и утицаја Медитеранске климе чине
регионе јужне и југоисточне Србије подручјима од великог значаја за
диверзитет наше земље, и фокусом за будуће еколошке и конзервационе студије.

AB  - In this paper, the updated checklist of Serbian amphibians and reptiles is
presented. The updated checklist of Serbian amphibians and reptiles was compiled
from the literature on distribution, taxonomy and phylogeny. The checklist
contains 48 autochthonous and two introduced species. Five species underwent
taxonomic revisions (Triturus ivanbureschi, T. macedonicus, Pelobates balcanicus,
Bufotes viridis and Mediodactylus kotschyi). Two species were added after recent
taxonomic splits of species’ complexes (Hyla orientalis and Anguis colchica).
Presence of new (Lacerta trilineata) and introduced species (Hemidactylus turcicus)
was confirmed during recent fieldwork. There are at least eight more species
that can potentially be present in Serbia. The national protection legislative should
be updated according to the current checklist.
AB  - У овом раду приказујемо ажурирану листу фауне водоземаца и
гмизаваца у Србији. Листа је састављена на основу литературе о
дистрибуцији, таксономији и филогенији водоземаца и гмизаваца који
припадају нашој фауни. Садржи 48 врста аутохтоних за Републику
Србију као и две интродуковане врсте за које је потврђено да се на
територији Србије размножавају и успостављају популације. Пет
врста на овој листи су недавно прошле кроз таксономску ревизију
(Triturus ivanbureschi, T. macedonicus, Pelobates balcanicus, Bufotes
viridis и Mediodactylus kotschyi), а две врсте су придодате након
скорашњег таксономског раздвајања комплекса врста (Hyla orientalis и
Anguis colchica). Најновија теренска истраживања су потврдила при-
суство једне нове (Lacerta trilineata) и једне интродуковане врсте
(Hemidactylus turcicus). Потенцијално је на територији Репубике Срби-
је присутно још најмање осам врста водоземаца и гмизаваца, пре свега
у пограничним областима. Од 48 врста аутохтоних за Републику
Србију, седам су рањиве/готово угрожене на међународном нивоу,
према критеријумима IUCN, три су у прилозима CITES-а, 39 се налазе
на анексима Директиве о стаништима (Habitat Directive), а све су на
прилозима Бернске конвенције. У току је процена конзервационог
статуса свих врста на националном нивоу, на основу чега ће бити
предложена нова легислатива.
Са 48 врста, Србија се може сматрати за богату биолошком
разноврсношћу водоземаца и гмизаваца па чак и центром диверзитета
појединих таксона – пре свега великих мрмољака и других комплекса
врста (Hyla, Pelophylax, Anguis). Даља истраживања батрахо- и херпе-
тофауне требало би концентрисати на контактне/хибридне зоне
комплекса врста и пограничне области наше земље.

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  - У овом раду, приказујемо ажуриране податке о дистрибуцији
комплекса врста Hyla arborea у Србији. Подаци се састоје од налаза
објављених у литератури или на Интернету, заједно са претходно
необјављеним теренским подацима. Од ове две врсте, највећи део
територије Србије, укључујући све биогеографске регионе, насељава
H. arborea. Hyla orientalis, са друге стране, насељава само крајње
источне делове североисточне, источне и југоисточне Србије, са
потенцијалном хибридном зоном која такође обухвата делове централ-
не и јужне Србије. Дистрибуција H. arborea је густа у панонским
деловима Србије, конкретно у плавним зонама река Дунав, Сава и
Тиса, док је дистрибуција више раштркана у перипанонским и
планинско-котлинским деловима Србије. Hyla orientalis насељава
искључиво најисточније делове планинско-котлинског региона, где је
повезана са воденим системима који припадају Балканском планин-
ском венцу, док Карпатски и Родопски масиви представљају северо-
источну и југоисточну границу дистрибуције, респективно. За хибрид-

AB  - The town of Smederevo is of considerable historical significance for Serbian batrachology and herpetology. Three amphibian species were, for Serbia, first time detected there – Danube crested newt (Triturus dobrogicus), Balkan spadefoot toad (Pelobates balcanicus) and Pool frog (Pelophylax lessonae). One of the rare lowland occurrences of Adder (Vipera berus) was also mentioned there. Still, during the second half of the XX century, Smederevo became an important industrial hub and went through considerable urbanization and habitat degradation. Surface waters were especially severely affected, with changed water regimes (parts of the waterbed of the Jezava River were filled in) and pollution by sewage and industrial waste. Consequently, some of the amphibians and reptiles published for Smederevo are, by now, present only as old (pre-1993) literature records. That is the case of the Danube crested newt, Fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra), Balkan spadefoot toad and Adder, the latter being declared locally extinct. The three amphibian species could still be expected in the remaining habitat fragments – since being very secretive, they could be hard to detect. Still, in the literature, some were denoted as “common”. Fire salamander was reported from the habitats in the centre of town. Those habitats have since been obliterated by construction. On the other hand, human activities had led to the introduction of some alien species – Kotschyi’s gecko (Mediodactylus kotschyi) and Slider turtle (Trachemys scripta ssp.). Also, the most recent data revealed the presence of two previously unrecorded species for Smederevo – a citizen’s observation of the Smooth snake (Coronella austriaca) and the author’s own finding of the Common spadefoot toad (Pelobates fuscus). Confirmation of some other potentially present species could be expected in the future, with the increased field effort.
Future efforts should be concentrated on finding possible remaining enclaves of the mentioned native species and, if possible, protecting their habitats.

abstract = "The town of Smederevo is of considerable historical significance for Serbian batrachology and herpetology. Three amphibian species were, for Serbia, first time detected there – Danube crested newt (Triturus dobrogicus), Balkan spadefoot toad (Pelobates balcanicus) and Pool frog (Pelophylax lessonae). One of the rare lowland occurrences of Adder (Vipera berus) was also mentioned there. Still, during the second half of the XX century, Smederevo became an important industrial hub and went through considerable urbanization and habitat degradation. Surface waters were especially severely affected, with changed water regimes (parts of the waterbed of the Jezava River were filled in) and pollution by sewage and industrial waste. Consequently, some of the amphibians and reptiles published for Smederevo are, by now, present only as old (pre-1993) literature records.

AB  - The establishment of ecological networks (including Natura 2000) is one of the priorities in the conservation of important species and habitats in the Republic of Serbia. During the last three years (2020-2022), we conducted field research on amphibian and reptile species listed in the Annexes II & IV of the Habitat Directive. The main goals were to obtain data about precise geographic distribution, estimate population statuses and conservation threats, as well as to propose conservation measures for the studied populations and their habitats. Field studies lasted more than 70 days and included over 60 locations across the country. Focal groups were species listed in Annex II: Triturus cristatus, T. dobrogicus, T. ivanbureschi, T. macedonicus, Testudo graeca, T. hermanni, Emys orbicularis, Elaphe quatuorlineata and Vipera ursinii. Results of these studies provided a more precise geographic distribution of crested newts and their hybrid zones in Serbia. For two species, we proposed the protection of two locations at the national level: one in eastern Serbia (for T. ivanbureschi) and one in southern Serbia (for T. macedonicus). The most threatened regions, where massive habitat losses and changes were detected, are the valleys of Velika and Zapadna Morava rivers, as well as wetlands along the Danube and Sava rivers. Populations of crested newts in Serbia are endangered by several threatening factors: habitat destructions/alterations, agriculture, water pollution and climatic changes. For reptiles, the most important locations for conservation of species listed in Annex II were detected in southeastern, southern and southwestern Serbia. For three reptile species with limited distribution and small populations, we proposed two locations in southern and southwestern Serbia for protection at the national level. The main threats for those species are habitat destruction/alternation and climatic changes. Results of these studies pointed out inconsistencies in conservation priorities between the national and European levels.

AB  - Serially homologous structures, such as the vertebral column, often undergo 
functional and evolutionary diversification and are a good model-system for studies of 
regionalization and morphological integration. We studied these topics in the vertebral 
column (atlas, trunk and sacral vertebrae) of the closely related taxa of small-bodied 
newts – Lissotriton schmidtleri, L. vulgaris ampelensis, L. v. meridionalis and L. v. 
vulgaris, using 3D geometric morphometrics on models that were acquired with micro CT scanning. Two different statistical approaches were employed to test for vertebral 
regionalization and overall morphological integration, namely segmented linear 
regression (SLR) and a partial least squares method (PLS) We observed a common 
pattern of regionalization, with a transition point after the 5th trunk vertebra. It 
corresponds with the antero-posterior transition common for tetrapods. 
Morphological integration, accessed via PLS analysis, is strongest at the 6th and 7th
trunk vertebrae, while the anterior and distal parts of the vertebral column are less 
integrated. The PLS analysis of the asymmetric component of shape variation revealed 
a weak integration, statistically significant only among subsequent trunk vertebrae. In 
summary, the vertebral column of the closely related Lissotriton newts is subtly 
regionalized, while being morphologically integrated overall. There is a complex 
relationship between regionalization and morphological integration of the vertebral 
column, most likely influenced by the newt’s bi-phasic life cycle that instigates different 
functional constraints in the aquatic and terrestrial life stages

AB  - National parks are, by definition, areas set aside for wildlife protection, but also 
human recreation. Sometimes, the development of tourism-related infrastructure and 
capacities or resource exploitation can impede the primary function of national parks 
– nature conservation. Baseline and trend monitoring are great tools to assess human 
pressure on nature. Amphibian and reptile species have small ranges and are 
vulnerable to changes in their environment which makes them great bioindicators. 
Here we present the results of five-year monitoring activities of amphibian and reptile 
populations at National Park „Kopaonik“, Serbia. Data on batracho- and herpetofauna 
of NP „Kopaonik“ were limited and outdated, so a detailed survey of species richness, 
habitat conditions, and population trends was greatly needed. Starting from 2018 to 
2022 we described the amphibian and reptile diversity of the national park and 
systematically monitored several habitats, dispersed throughout all three protection 
zones as well as outside protection zones, to assess the habitat quality and population 
trends of selected species. We had an opportunity to see the effect of the international 
travel ban (due to the Covid19) on batracho- and herpetofauna, when much more 
people spent their vacation at NP „Kopaonik“ than usually. Per our results so far, the 
richness of the amphibians and reptiles species of the NP „Kopanik“ is moderate (9 
amphibian and 12 reptile species). The population size of the selected lizard species is 
stable through the years regardless of the protection zone. Amphibian populations are 
also stable, as offsprings of the majority of the species were found every year. However 
human pressure on the amphibian and reptile species is high. Habitat degradation is 
present and some localities are at great risk to be lost

AB  - The territory of the municipality Smederevo is historically important for
the research of the batrachofauna of Serbia and the whole region. However,
after the extensive research conducted during the mid-XX century (Karaman,
1948), there were no further systematic research until the renewed
interest in the faunistic and biogeographic research during the last decade
that resulted in publishing The Red Books of Fauna of Serbia I and II – Amphibians
and Reptiles. Smederevo municipality is situated in the transitional
area between the ecoregions of the Pannonian steppe and forest-steppe and
the Balkan mixed forests. Still, it is among the least forested municipalities
in Serbia and urbanization and industrialization had led to the change in
the water regime of the surface waters and the great extent of polution by

Smederevo is still among the areas with large diversity of the amphibian
species – there have been detected 12 of 21 amphibian species for Serbia in
total, and association to different chorotipes, and associaton of these species
with different chorotypes confirms mixing of the faunal elements from
the North, East and South. However, as much as three amphibian species,
of which some were for the first time in our country detected in Smederevo
(Balkan Spadefoot Toad, Danube Crested Newt), are present only as the
literature entries, without subsequent confirmation in the field. This could
be a result of the lack of the aimed, systematic research since the species in
question are secretive, fossorial, aquatic or active only at night or during the
humid weather conditions, but it could also result from the change of the
water regime throughout the municipality and loss of the adequate habitat,
to which these species are especially vulnerable. It is also important to mention
the effect of the climate changes, that lead to the extreme temperatures
and frequent drougths that lead to the further draining of the wetlands and
surface waters. A few species of amphibians are potentially present in our municipality,
especially in the southern parts or along the Great Morava river. As for
the reptilian fauna of our municipality, it is necessary to conduct detailed,
systematic research of the amphibian fauna, in order to find out the exact
distribution of all amphibian species, especially those that are documented
only as the literature entries or their potential presence is expected in
our area.

abstract = "The territory of the municipality Smederevo is historically important for
the research of the batrachofauna of Serbia and the whole region. However,
after the extensive research conducted during the mid-XX century (Karaman,
1948), there were no further systematic research until the renewed
interest in the faunistic and biogeographic research during the last decade
that resulted in publishing The Red Books of Fauna of Serbia I and II – Amphibians
and Reptiles. Smederevo municipality is situated in the transitional
area between the ecoregions of the Pannonian steppe and forest-steppe and
the Balkan mixed forests. Still, it is among the least forested municipalities
in Serbia and urbanization and industrialization had led to the change in
the water regime of the surface waters and the great extent of polution by
the sewage and industrial waste.

AB  - Kotschy's gecko (Mediodactylus kotschyi) is native to the eastern Mediterranean basin but well known as a successful colonizer. The most probable way of its spreading is cargo and passenger traffic. In Serbia, M. kotschyi is assumed native only in Prizren. Anthropogenic introductions were confirmed in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Pančevo and Smederevo. This study aimed to summarize data of M. kotschyi findings with reference to recently confirmed population in Niš and newly recorded population in Sremska Mitrovica. These two populations are well-established with multiple pieces of evidence of reproduction. Pholidosis data were collected for several individuals to confirm their specific status. New and previously recorded introduced populations of Kotchy's gecko in Serbia belong to M. kotschyi bibroni based on morphology. The introduction was most likely related to railways and further spread in urban zones is expected. It seems that introduced populations do not threaten native ecosystems as these populations are appeared to be highly localized in urban habitats.

AB  - Serial homology or the repetition of equivalent developmental units and their derivatives is a phenomenon encountered in a variety of organisms, with the vertebrate axial skeleton as one of the most notable examples. Serially homologous structures can be viewed as an appropriate model system for studying morphological integration and modularity, due to the strong impact of development on their covariation. Here, we explored the pattern of morphological integration of the cranium and the first three serially homologous structures (atlas, first, and second trunk vertebrae) in salamandrid salamanders, using micro‐CT scanning and three‐dimensional geometric morphometrics. We explored the integration between structures at static and evolutionary levels. Effects of allometry on patterns of modularity were also taken into account. At the static level (within species), we analyzed inter‐individual variation in shape to detect functional modules and intra‐individual variation to detect developmental modules. Significant integration (based on inter‐individual variation) among all structures was detected and allometry is shown to be an important integrating factor. The pattern of intra‐individual, asymmetric variation indicates statistically significant developmental integration between the cranium and the atlas and between the first two trunk vertebrae. At the evolutionary level (among species), the cranium, atlas, and trunk vertebrae separate as different modules. Our results show that morphological integration at the evolutionary level coincides with morphological and functional differentiation of the axial skeleton, allowing the more or less independent evolutionary changes of the cranial skeleton and the vertebral column, regardless of the relatively strong integration at the static level. The observed patterns of morphological integration differ across levels, indicating different impacts of developmental and phylogenetic constraints and functional demands.

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 conducted a study of intraspecific differentiation and sexual dimorphism in skulls of giant deer found in Serbia by employing methods of geometric morphometrics. The sample consisted of nine males (seven belonging to Megaloceros giganteus cf. ruffii and two belonging to subspecies M. giganteus cf. giganteus) and two females (both classified as M. giganteus cf. ruffii), photographed in ventral and lateral views. The statistical analyses did find significant shape differences between possible subspecies and sexes for the lateral cranium view but not for the ventral. Possible subspecies differed in the overall skull robustness. Sexual shape dimorphism consisted of transition from higher and elongated skulls in females, to more robust and dorsoventrally flattened skulls in males. The allometry was not proven to be statistically significant, but the shape changes related to size variation could be visually described. Some of the shape differences related to sexual dimorphism can be interpreted as an adaptation for bearing large antlers in males. Even with small sample size, we got statistically supported differences between possible subspecies and sexual shape dimorphism in the lateral view of the giant deer skull. In analyses that showed no statistical support, methods of geometric morphometrics still provided good visualization of shape variation.
