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.
