AB  - The karstic Una River is one of the larger tributaries of the Sava River. Although being a
part of Balkan biodiversity hot-spot, aquatic macroinvertebrates of the Una are rarely studied. The
aquatic macroinvertebrates sampling was performed in the summer of 2015 throughout the upper
river stretch covering the Una and its tributaries situated in the Una National Park (Una NP). A rich
community consisting of 130 macroinvertebrate taxa, with dominance of Trichoptera and
Ephemeroptera, was detected. A snail  Sadleriana  sp. and endemic gammarid  Echinogammarus
acarinatus were found to be dominant taxa in terms of percentage participation and frequency of
occurrence. Mollusca and Crustacea were found to be the most abundant groups, with higher
abundance in the Una River than its tributaries. Although a higher overall taxa richness was found
in tributaries, calculated biotic indices and evenness pointed to greater diversity in the Una River.
Additionally, BMWP and ASPT scores were also higher in the Una River than its tributaries.
Calculated Jaccard index value pointed to moderate faunistic similarity between investigated
communities. Obtained results suggest that investigated upper stretch of the Una River harbours a
high diversity and rather homogenous macroinvertebrate community.

AB  - This paper presents the results of a faunistic study of the
   macrozoobenthos of the Velika Morava River. The investigation was
   conducted during the summer and autumn months in 2010. A total of 84
   macroinvertebrate taxa have been identified, with Insecta
   (Ephemeroptera) as the most diverse and Oligochaeta as the most abundant
   groups. A tubificid worm, Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri, was the most
   important species with regard to relative abundance and frequency of
   occurrence. Two rare and endangered species, Theodoxus transversalis and
   Unio crassus, were recorded, as well as 5 alien species. Locality VM4
   (Markovac Bridge) is of particular interest as the northernmost
   locality, as well as having the most abundant population of T.
   transversalis found. Despite being in the lower stretch of the river,
   this site is particularly taxa-rich, presumably due to conspicuous
   microhabitat diversity. Water temperature and pH value were determined
   to be the most important factors of the 32 environmental variables
   tested. Multivariate analyses revealed separation of summer samples
   compared to autumn. The Mann-Whitney test showed significant differences
   in fauna only in the case of ecoregions, confirming their current
   delineation and the transitional character of this river.

AB  - Twenty non-indigenous fish species were recorded in the Danube River.
   The manner of their introduction, vectors, pathways, well as invasive
   status are discussed. The major modes of introduction and translocation
   were found to be aquaculture and fish stocking. The main environmental
   consequences of the spread of alien fish are related to changes in the
   structure and functioning of the fish community and to the introduction
   of non-indigenous parasites.

AB  - The distribution of freshwater snails of the genus Theodoxus in Serbia
   is examined. The study comprises literature data and field surveys
   carried out at 84 watercourses and 5 reservoirs during 2010-2013. The
   occurrence of three species is confirmed: Theodoxus fluviatilis, T
   danubialis and T transversalis. The most widespread species is T.
   fluviatilis (river nerite). The previously dominant nerite T danubialis
   (Danube nerite) currently persists mainly in hilly and mountain parts of
   central Serbia and remains in few localities only in large rivers such
   as the Danube and the Sava. The endangered species T transversalis
   (striped nerite) shows patchy distribution; the Drina River - Lim River
   and the Velika Morava River - Juzna Morava River - Nisava River systems
   are revealed as important refugia for this species. Moreover, at some
   localities at the Nigava River and the Velika Morava River, the striped
   nerite is found to be the dominant in the present gastropod communities.
   Regular studies are crucial for the timely prediction of population
   health and for conservation of freshwater nerite species in Europe.
