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  - The Nature Park “Ulcinj Salina” is situated in the extreme southeastern part of Montenegro and covers the area of the former largest saltpans in the Mediterranean region. It is identified as Important Bird Area, Emerald Site, Ramsar Site and potential Natura 2000 site in Montenegro. After salt production had stopped a decade ago, a rather quick succession started, causing alternation in community structure in favor of non-salt tolerant species. So far, Ulcinj Salina has not been systematically surveyed for amphibians and reptiles and available data actually refer to a broader area of southern Montenegro. Here I present the results of batracho- and herpetofaunal surveys of Ulcinj Salina conducted during 2021. Five species of amphibians (Bufo bufo, Bufotes viridis, Hyla arborea, Pelophylax ridibundus and Pelophylax shqipericus) and nine species of reptiles (Testudo hermanni, Emys orbicularis, Lacerta trilineata, Podarcis melisellensis, Anguis graeca, Pseudopus apodus, Dolichophis caspius, Natrix natrix and Natrix tessellata) were recorded. The greatest diversity of batracho- and herpetofauna was recorded along the northern parts of the Nature Park where the succession from saline to freshwater habitats was most evident. The most abundant but restricted to certain parts of the area were P. ridibundus, E. orbicularis and P. melisellensis. A monitoring procedure is proposed for P. shqipericus¸T. hermanni and E. orbicularis as species of special conservation importance. Currently Ulcinj Salina presents a refuge for amphibians and reptiles of the coastal wetlands of southern Montenegro that are exposed to a variety of threats due to rapid urbanization and pollution. Since the revitalization of salt production and establishment of a sustainable tourism is planned in Ulcinj Salina, adequate mitigation measures and maintenance of certain basins and channels in current freshwater state are necessary to preserve amphibians and reptiles of this Nature Park.

AB  - We studied the presence of chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) infection in two syntopic water frogs Pelophylax shqipericus and P. ridibundus in a sample population from southern Montenegro. In total, 45 and 34 adult specimens of P. shqipericus and P. ridibundus, respectively, were tested for Bd infection. Here, the infection was confirmed for the first time in P. shqipericus, a vulnerable endemic species of the Balkans. There was a greater proportion of infected specimens in P. shqipericus than in P. ridibundus (15.6% and 2.7%, p < 0.05, respectively). Males and females did not significantly differ in Bd prevalence both within species or at genus level. Infection intensity was low in both species and body condition did not differ between infected and non-infected specimens. However, P. shqipericus had significantly lower body condition index than P. ridibundus in general, indicating elevated exposure to environmental stress in a comparison with congeneric species. The emergence of the pathogenic Bd fungus in the small-range threatened water frog species is worrying and indicates the need for close monitoring, urgent risk analysis, and population health assessment.

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  - Mitigating global amphibian declines requires a thorough understanding of stressors that differentially impact amphibian populations. We compared body condition and occurrence of the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) in syntopic frogs, belonging either to the small range, vulnerable species Pelophylax shqipericus or the widespread P. ridibundus. Bd was detected more frequently in P. shqipericus than in P. ridibundus (15.6% and 2.9%, p < 0.05, respectively). Infections were characterized by low infection intensity, absence of clinical signs and lack of any obvious impact on body condition. However, body condition in P. shqipericus was significantly lower than in P. ridibundus. Relatively high pathogen prevalence and poor body condition in the threatened P. shqipericus is worrying and urges the need for close monitoring, risk analysis and population assessment.

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  - The slow-worm lizards ( Anguis ) comprise five species occurring throughout most of the Western Palearctic. Although these species are relatively uniform morphologically – with the exception of A. cephallonica , which exhibits a quite unique morphology – they are genetically deeply divergent. Here, we provide detailed distribution maps for each species and discuss their biogeography and conservation based on updated genetic data and a robust distribution database. We pay particular attention to the so called ‘grey zone’, which typically represents secondary contact zones and in some cases confirmed or presumed hybrid zones. Four of the five species live in parapatry, while only two species, A. cephallonica and A. graeca from the southern Balkans occur in partial sympatry. Further research should focus on the eco-evolutionary interactions between species in contact, including their hybridization rates, to reveal deeper details of the slow-worm evolutionary and natural history.

AB  - The Snake-eyed skink Ablepharus kitaibelii belongs to the family of the smooth lizards (Scincidae). There are four subspecies of this species known in Europe whose characteristics are summarized by Fuhn (1970) and Gruber (1981). Their distribution areas are given by Gruber (1981), Ljubisavljevic et al. (2002) and Szövényi & Jelić (2011).
A. k. kitaibelii Bibron & Bory, 1833 – Greece with Ionian and Aegean Islands (except the eastern part of the South Aegean island arc), Rhodes.
A. k. fabichi Stepánek, 1937 – Some Greek islands: Mikronisi, Amathia, Kasos, Karpathos.
A. k. fitzingeri Mertens, 1952 – Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, ? Romania, ? Bosnia.
A. k. stepaneki Fuhn, 1970 – Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Bosnia, Macedonia, Albania.
A. k. fitzingeri
Large-bodied, robust, head conspicuously broad, limbs short and muscular, 4th toe short; 4 supralabials anterior to eye (in 63 % of specs.), 20–22 scale rows around midbody; greenish sheen to brown dorsal colouration, with 4–6 rows of white/black specks on back; southern Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia (Save River), ?Romania, ?Bosnia-Herzegovina. Contact with other ssp. only towards the south; intergradation zones and undetermined populations not considered; mapping expanded from Ljubisavljević et al. (2002).
Records tabulated chronologically, alternative place names in brackets; annotated where necessary; field observations without vouchers or photographs marked with **, localities without primary references marked with *. Early vouchers in the Hungarian Natural History Museum (HNHM) destroyed in wars 1944/45 and 1956. The sites are shown on the distribution maps with numbers. We‘ve been working on these Maps according to the time of the last observation colour codes are used for the points:
Black dots – questionable records (no primary reference or only a singular observation from 18 or
19th century); purple dots – records prior to 1950; blue dots – records 1951–1999; red dots – records after 2000.
One dot may refer to several proximal localities.
A. k. fitzingeri endemic to Carpathian Basin (Fig. 1), mainly along southern limestone slopes, but occasionally also on loamy, sand and loess soils (e.g., Gödöllő, Isaszeg Koháry-Szentlőrinc; Fejérváry 1917, Szunyoghy 1954);
probably colonized region from the south via the Danube Valley (Méhely 1897b, Fejérváry 1917), but Lendl (1892) hypothesized that Ottomans introduced it with hay to the surroundings of Buda; no taxonomically relevant morphological variation throughout Carpathian Basin from River Ipoly to N Serbia (Korsós 2007b); Hungary served as Ice Age refuge (Korsós 2007); present authors suppose post-glacial colonization from east of Danube (Naszály, Börzsöny Mts., Ipoly region, Cserhát, Gödöllő Hills) and the west (Ofner Mts., Pilis Mts., Visegrád Mts.).

AB  - Reproductive mode, ancestry, and climate are hypothesized to determine body size variation in reptiles but their effects have rarely been estimated simultaneously, especially at the intraspecific level. The common lizard (Zootoca vivipara) occupies almost the entire Northern Eurasia and includes viviparous and oviparous lineages, thus representing an excellent model for such studies. Using body length data for >10,000 individuals from 72 geographically distinct populations over the species' range, we analyzed how sex-specific adult body size and sexual size dimorphism (SSD) is associated with reproductive mode, lineage identity, and several climatic variables. Variation in male size was low and poorly explained by our predictors. In contrast, female size and SSD varied considerably, demonstrating significant effects of reproductive mode and particularly seasonality. Populations of the western oviparous lineage (northern Spain, south-western France) exhibited a smaller female size and less female-biased SSD than those of the western viviparous (France to Eastern Europe) and the eastern viviparous (Eastern Europe to Far East) lineages; this pattern persisted even after controlling for climatic effects. The phenotypic response to seasonality was complex: across the lineages, as well as within the eastern viviparous lineage, female size and SSD increase with increasing seasonality, whereas the western viviparous lineage followed the opposing trends. Altogether, viviparous populations seem to follow a saw-tooth geographic cline, which might reflect the nonmonotonic relationship of body size at maturity in females with the length of activity season. This relationship is predicted to arise in perennial ectotherms as a response to environmental constraints caused by seasonality of growth and reproduction. The SSD allometry followed the converse of Rensch's rule, a rare pattern for amniotes. Our results provide the first evidence of opposing body size-climate relationships in intraspecific units.

AB  - Изучение внутривидовой изменчивости позволяет проследить связи паттер-
нов макроэволюционного разнообразия с лежащим в их основе микроэволюци-
онным процессом. Широко распространенные виды являются привлекательными
моделями для комплексной оценки влияния различных факторов, влияющих на
формирование фенетического разнообразия, поскольку данные об изменчивости
исследуемого признака могут быть получены для большого числа географически
и экологически дифференцированных популяций, включающих различные соче-
тания потенциально значимых факторов. Однако обстоятельных исследований
изменчивости широко распространенных видов на всем ареале крайне мало, в
том числе для таких важных признаков, как размеры тела (см. обзор: Roitberg et
al., 2013, 2015).
Закономерности географической изменчивости размеров тела и опреде-
ляющие ее факторы — одна из фундаментальных тем эволюционной эколо-
гии. Ее актуальность возрастает в связи с проблемой глобального изменения
климата, поскольку тренд в пространстве может предсказать изменения во
времени. Несмотря на постоянно растущее число исследований, разнообра-
зие эко-географических трендов размерной изменчивости остается во многом
дискуссионным, особенно у эктотермных организмов (см. обзор Винарский,
2014).
Перспективной моделью таких исследований является живородящая ящери-
ца Zootoca vivipara, обладающая самым большим ареалом среди наземных репти-
лий. Она населяет почти всю умеренную зону Евразии и включает несколько
живородящих и яйцекладущих монофилетических групп популяций (lineages,
clades), идентифицированных на основании анализа митохондриальной (а впо-
следствии и ядерной) ДНК.
Обобщив оригинальные и литературные данные по длине тела более 10 тыс.
особей Z. vivipara из 72 географически обособленных выборок, охватывающих
почти весь ареал вида от северной Испании до Сахалина, мы исследовали, как
характерные размеры взрослых самцов и самок (средние значения и 80-е про-
центили распределения длины тела в выборке) и размерный половой димор-
физм коррелируют со способом размножения, принадлежностью к определен-
ной кладе и тремя климатическими характеристиками — средней температурой
и суммой осадков летних месяцев, а также средней температурой зимних меся-
цев (последняя тесно коррелировала со степенью сезонности климата и исполь-
зовалась нами для грубой оценки продолжительности сезонной активности
ящериц). Основным методом статистического анализа служили общие линей-
ные модели, селекцию которых осуществляли на основании информационного
критерия Акаике.
Географические различия размеров самцов выражены слабо, и доля этой из-
менчивости, объясняемая исследуемыми факторами, незначительна. Напротив,
размеры самок и размерный половой диморфизм обнаружили значительную
изменчивость, существенная доля которой (до 60%) объясняется отобранными
моделями. Таким образом, аллометрия изменчивости полового диморфизма у
живородящей ящерицы противоположна правилу Ренша (Rensch’s rule, см. обзор
Fairbairn 1997), что редко встречается у высших позвоночных.
Во всех исследованных выборках самки в среднем крупнее самцов. При этом
популяции ‘Западной Яйцекладущей’ клады (северная Испания, юго-западная
Франции) отличаются меньшими размерами самок и более слабым половым ди-
морфизмом, чем у ‘Западной Живородящей’ (от Франции до Восточной Евро-
пы) и ‘Восточной Живородящей’ (от Восточной Европы до Сахалина) клад; эти
различия сохраняются после статистической коррекции влияний климата и хо-
рошо согласуются с предсказаниями теории эволюции жизненных циклов (lifehistory
evolution). Напротив, сходные различия между Западной и Восточной
живородящими кладами практически исчезают при статистическом контроле
влияния зимней температуры. Последний фактор оказался самым значимым в
наших моделях-кандидатах, особенно для размерного диморфизма. В ‘Восточ-
ной Живородящей’ кладе, а также в целом по ареалу размер самок и уровень
диморфизма возрастают с уменьшением зимней температуры, т. е. в более се-
зонном климате. В то же время у ‘Западной Живородящей’ клады наблюдается
противоположная, положительная корреляция размера самок и величины ди-
морфизма с зимней температурой! Эти результаты показывают, что противопо-
ложные клины размеров тела вдоль сходных градиентов климата могут наблю-
даться не только у близких видов (Ashton 2001; Angilletta et al. 2004), но и внутри
вида. Мы обосновываем гипотезу, что такой характер размерной изменчивости
может быть отражением зубчатой клины (saw-tooth cline), предсказанной в мо-
делях С. Эдолфа и У. Портера (Adolph & Porter 1993, 1996), разработанных для
ящериц и других долгоживущих эктотермных животных с развитой поведенче-
ской терморегуляцией.
А. Клазен, М. Фокт, Р. Р. Шамгунова, И. В. Тарасов, В. А. Яковлев и И. В. До-
ронин любезно предоставили оригинальные данные по длине тела живородящей
ящерицы. Мы признательны также Ю. Л. Кавалерчик за создание скриптов в про-
грамме perl, облегчавших первичную обработку данных, и В. К. Шитикову за по-
мощь в проведении селекции моделей и тестов Морана в пакете R. Исследование

AB  - Using body length data from 72 populations over the species range we analyzed
how male size, female size, and sexual size dimorphism (SSD) is associated with our
explanatory variables. We revealed a moderate effect of reproductive mode (larger
female size and higher SSD in viviparous vs. oviparous populations) and a strong but
complex effect of seasonality: across the lineages, as well as within the Eastern Viviparous
lineage, female size and SSD increase with increasing seasonality, whereas the Western
Viviparous lineage followed the opposing trends.

нов макроэволюционного разнообразия с лежащим в их основе микроэволюци-
онным процессом. Широко распространенные виды являются привлекательными
моделями для комплексной оценки влияния различных факторов, влияющих на
формирование фенетического разнообразия, поскольку данные об изменчивости
исследуемого признака могут быть получены для большого числа географически
и экологически дифференцированных популяций, включающих различные соче-
тания потенциально значимых факторов. Однако обстоятельных исследований
изменчивости широко распространенных видов на всем ареале крайне мало, в
том числе для таких важных признаков, как размеры тела (см. обзор: Roitberg et
al., 2013, 2015).
Закономерности географической изменчивости размеров тела и опреде-
ляющие ее факторы — одна из фундаментальных тем эволюционной эколо-
гии. Ее актуальность возрастает в связи с проблемой глобального изменения
климата, поскольку тренд в пространстве может предсказать изменения во
времени. Несмотря на постоянно растущее число исследований, разнообра-
зие эко-географических трендов размерной изменчивости остается во многом
дискуссионным, особенно у эктотермных организмов (см. обзор Винарский,
2014).
Перспективной моделью таких исследований является живородящая ящери-
ца Zootoca vivipara, обладающая самым большим ареалом среди наземных репти-
лий. Она населяет почти всю умеренную зону Евразии и включает несколько
живородящих и яйцекладущих монофилетических групп популяций (lineages,
clades), идентифицированных на основании анализа митохондриальной (а впо-
следствии и ядерной) ДНК.
Обобщив оригинальные и литературные данные по длине тела более 10 тыс.
особей Z. vivipara из 72 географически обособленных выборок, охватывающих
почти весь ареал вида от северной Испании до Сахалина, мы исследовали, как
характерные размеры взрослых самцов и самок (средние значения и 80-е про-
центили распределения длины тела в выборке) и размерный половой димор-
физм коррелируют со способом размножения, принадлежностью к определен-
ной кладе и тремя климатическими характеристиками — средней температурой
и суммой осадков летних месяцев, а также средней температурой зимних меся-
цев (последняя тесно коррелировала со степенью сезонности климата и исполь-
зовалась нами для грубой оценки продолжительности сезонной активности
ящериц). Основным методом статистического анализа служили общие линей-
ные модели, селекцию которых осуществляли на основании информационного
критерия Акаике.
Географические различия размеров самцов выражены слабо, и доля этой из-
менчивости, объясняемая исследуемыми факторами, незначительна. Напротив,
размеры самок и размерный половой диморфизм обнаружили значительную
изменчивость, существенная доля которой (до 60%) объясняется отобранными
моделями. Таким образом, аллометрия изменчивости полового диморфизма у
живородящей ящерицы противоположна правилу Ренша (Rensch’s rule, см. обзор
Fairbairn 1997), что редко встречается у высших позвоночных.
Во всех исследованных выборках самки в среднем крупнее самцов. При этом
популяции ‘Западной Яйцекладущей’ клады (северная Испания, юго-западная
Франции) отличаются меньшими размерами самок и более слабым половым ди-
морфизмом, чем у ‘Западной Живородящей’ (от Франции до Восточной Евро-
пы) и ‘Восточной Живородящей’ (от Восточной Европы до Сахалина) клад; эти
различия сохраняются после статистической коррекции влияний климата и хо-
рошо согласуются с предсказаниями теории эволюции жизненных циклов (lifehistory
evolution). Напротив, сходные различия между Западной и Восточной
живородящими кладами практически исчезают при статистическом контроле
влияния зимней температуры. Последний фактор оказался самым значимым в
наших моделях-кандидатах, особенно для размерного диморфизма. В ‘Восточ-
ной Живородящей’ кладе, а также в целом по ареалу размер самок и уровень
диморфизма возрастают с уменьшением зимней температуры, т. е. в более се-
зонном климате. В то же время у ‘Западной Живородящей’ клады наблюдается
противоположная, положительная корреляция размера самок и величины ди-
морфизма с зимней температурой! Эти результаты показывают, что противопо-
ложные клины размеров тела вдоль сходных градиентов климата могут наблю-
даться не только у близких видов (Ashton 2001; Angilletta et al. 2004), но и внутри
вида. Мы обосновываем гипотезу, что такой характер размерной изменчивости
может быть отражением зубчатой клины (saw-tooth cline), предсказанной в мо-
делях С. Эдолфа и У. Портера (Adolph & Porter 1993, 1996), разработанных для
ящериц и других долгоживущих эктотермных животных с развитой поведенче-
ской терморегуляцией.

мощь в проведении селекции моделей и тестов Морана в пакете R. Исследование
поддержанно Научным фондом Германии (DFG, grant RO 4168/1)., Using body length data from 72 populations over the species range we analyzed
how male size, female size, and sexual size dimorphism (SSD) is associated with our
explanatory variables. We revealed a moderate effect of reproductive mode (larger
female size and higher SSD in viviparous vs. oviparous populations) and a strong but
complex effect of seasonality: across the lineages, as well as within the Eastern Viviparous
lineage, female size and SSD increase with increasing seasonality, whereas the Western
Viviparous lineage followed the opposing trends.",

AB  - Different factors and processes that produce phenotypic variation at the individual, population, or interspecific level can influence or alter the covariance structure among morphological traits. Therefore, studies of the patterns of integration and modularity at multiple levels—static, ontogenetic, and evolutionary, can provide invaluable data on underlying factors and processes that structured morphological variation, directed, or constrained evolutionary changes. Our dataset, consisting of cranium shape data for 14 lizard species from the family Lacertidae, with substantial samples of hatchlings and adults along with their inferred evolutionary relationships, enabled us to assess modularity and morphological integration at all three levels. Five, not mutually exclusive modularity hypotheses of lizard cranium, were tested, and the effects of allometry on intensity and the pattern of integration and modularity were estimated. We used geometric morphometrics to extract symmetric and asymmetric, as well as allometric and nonallometric, components of shape variation. At the static level, firm confirmation of cranial modularity was found for hypotheses which separate anterior and posterior functional compartments of the skull. At the ontogenetic level, two alternative hypotheses (the “anteroposterior” and “neurodermatocranial” hypotheses) of ventral cranial modularity were confirmed. At the evolutionary level, the “neurodermatocranial” hypothesis was confirmed for the ventral cranium, which is in accordance with the pattern observed at the ontogenetic level. The observed pattern of static modularity could be driven by functional demands and can be regarded as adaptive. Ontogenetic modularity and evolutionary modularity show the same developmental origin, indicating conservatism of modularity patterns driven by developmental constraints.

AB  - There is a growing interest for studies of modularity and morphological integration in non-model organisms, and the need for these studies at multiple levels has often been pointed out. Our dataset, consisting of cranium shape data for 14 lizard species from the family Lacertidae, with substantial samples of hatchlings and adults, and their inferred evolutionary relationships, enabled us to perform multi-level assessment of modularity and morphological integration. The skull shape was quantified by landmark based geometric morphometrics, and five alternative modularity hypotheses of lizard cranium were tested using both allometric and non-allometric components of shape variation. At the static level, firm confirmation of cranial modularity was found for hypotheses which separate anterior and posterior functional compartments of the skull. At the ontogenetic and evolutionary level, the hypothesis based on developmental origin of skeletal elements (neurocranial versus dermatocranial) was confirmed. Also, the differences in the pattern of modularity for allometric and non-allometric component of shape variation were found. These results indicate that static modularity could be driven by functional demands and can be regarded as adaptive. The shared pattern of ontogenetic and evolutionary modularity indicates conservativism of modularity patterns driven by developmental constraints. The main implication is that there is a complex interaction of developmental and functional constraints, including allometry, in shaping cranial modularity pattern.

AB  - The southern part of Montenegro has been pointed out as an area with outstandingly richcomposition of herpetofauna. However, the systematic studies of distribution and diversitypatterns of reptiles at the national level were lacking. Such studies are paramount in identifyingareas of high conservation priority and planning conservation actions. The increased habitat lossand degradation due to rapid urbanization and tourism-related infrastructure development makestudying and protecting biodiversity in Montenegro an urgent matter. So, in order to systematizethe current knowledge base, we gathered a large dataset consisting of literature data and ourpreviously unpublished records to assess distribution and diversity patterns of lacertid lizards inMontenegro. All data were mapped on 10 x 10 km national UTM grid. We found that elevenlacertid lizard species inhabit Montenegro (one treated as a species complex) and one additionalspecies may be present. Six of eleven species are Balkan endemics, six reach margins of theirdistribution in Montenegro and three species have fragmented ranges. Lacertids were the mostdiverse in the Maritime biogeographic region of Montenegro, while areas of low diversity werealong the state borders in the Mountain-valley region. The observed distribution is at least partlyinfluenced by sampling bias, with areas in central parts and along the north-eastern border beinglargely data deficient. The eastern mountainous subregion had a distinct species compositioncompared to all other parts of the country. The East-Mediterranean chorotype was the mostdominant represented by six species. The great diversity of lacertid fauna of Montenegro can beattributed to its specific topographic position with high influence of Mediterranean climate,heterogeneity of biomes, complex geological history and diverse relief. The Maritime region withits high species richness and eastern subregion of Montenegro with the most unique speciescomposition are areas are of high conservation priority.

AB  - The southern part of Montenegro has been pointed out as an area with outstandingly rich
composition of herpetofauna. However, the systematic studies of distribution and diversity
patterns of reptiles at the national level were lacking. Such studies are paramount in identifying
areas of high conservation priority and planning conservation actions. The increased habitat loss
and degradation due to rapid urbanization and tourism-related infrastructure development make
studying and protecting biodiversity in Montenegro an urgent matter. So, in order to systematize
the current knowledge base, we gathered a large dataset consisting of literature data and our
previously unpublished records to assess distribution and diversity patterns of lacertid lizards in
Montenegro. All data were mapped on 10 x 10 km national UTM grid. We found that eleven
lacertid lizard species inhabit Montenegro (one treated as a species complex) and one additional
species may be present. Six of eleven species are Balkan endemics, six reach margins of their
distribution in Montenegro and three species have fragmented ranges. Lacertids were the most
diverse in the Maritime biogeographic region of Montenegro, while areas of low diversity were
along the state borders in the Mountain-valley region. The observed distribution is at least partly
influenced by sampling bias, with areas in central parts and along the north-eastern border being
largely data deficient. The eastern mountainous subregion had a distinct species composition
compared to all other parts of the country. The East-Mediterranean chorotype was the most
dominant represented by six species. The great diversity of lacertid fauna of Montenegro can be
attributed to its specific topographic position with high influence of Mediterranean climate,
heterogeneity of biomes, complex geological history and diverse relief. The Maritime region with
its high species richness and eastern subregion of Montenegro with the most unique species
composition are areas are of high conservation priority.

AB  - The basin of Lake Skadar with its drainage area represents one of the Balkan Peninsula’s hotspots regarding amphibian and reptile fauna. The value of the batracho- and herpetofauna of the Lake Skadar region is reflected in a rich and diverse composition of species. This is undoubtedly the result of the basin’s specific geographic position and complex geological history. Recent studies revealed that Lake Skadar’s watershed is inhabited by 15 amphibian and 36 reptile species. Among these, one amphibian (Pelophylax shqipericus – EN) and two reptile species (Dinarolacerta mosorensis and Vipera ursinii, both VU) are considered to be globally threatened according to IUCN criteria. An additional three reptile species (Emys orbicularis, Testudo hermanni, and Elaphe quatuorlineata) could become threatened in the future. As an attractive tourist area, a significant part of the Lake Skadar region could be impacted by fast and intense anthropogenic changes. Therefore, preserving the network of suitable habitats, maintaining continuous monitoring, and investing in additional research are essential for maintaining this rich local amphibian and reptile diversity.

AB  - The southern part of Montenegro has been identified as an area with high diversity of herpetofauna. However, comprehensive studies of distribution and diversity patterns of reptiles on the country level are still missing. Such studies are essential in designating areas of special conservation importance and nature protection planning in a milieu of increased habitat loss and degradation due to rapid urbanization and tourism development in this small Mediterranean country. To make progress on this problem, we analyzed distribution and diversity patterns of the lizards in Montenegro using a large database consisting of literature data and our unpublished records. We found that fifteen lizard species inhabit Montenegro, and two additional species may be present. The lizards were most diverse in the Maritime biogeographic region of Montenegro, while low diversity was found predominantly along the state borders in the Mountain-valley region. The identified pattern of lizard diversity is at least partly influenced by sampling bias. The eastern mountainous subregion had a distinct species composition compared to all other parts of the country. The East-Mediterranean chorotype was the most dominant, represented by seven species. The great diversity of the lizard fauna of Montenegro can be attributed to its specific topographic position with great influence of Mediterranean climate, heterogeneity of biomes, complex geological history and diverse physiogeographic features. High lizard species richness in the Maritime region and a unique species composition in the eastern subregion of Montenegro indicate that these areas are of high conservation interest.

AB  - Dinarolacerta mosorensis and D. montenegrina are allopatric and closely related rock lizards endemic to the Dinaric Mountains of the Balkan Peninsula. We analysed their habitat characteristics and relative abundances in the mountains of Montenegro. We found significant differences in structural features of the microhabitat used both between populations of D. mosorensis and the two species. Dinarolacerta mosorensis was associated with relatively more shaded and damper spots on rocks closer to vegetation and leaf litter, while D. montenegrina was found in more open, rocky situations. There were significant differences in relative abundance between the sampling sites. Generally, the studied lizards were more abundant at sites with greater percentage of leaf litter and lower percentages of bare ground and small rocks, despite the lower frequency of available refuges in these places. Our results provide basic information that could assist in the adoption of adequate management practices for protection or restoration of habitat attributes relevant to these vulnerable (D. mosorensis) and endemic species.
