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  - 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  - We employed methods of landmark based geometric morphometrics to explore ontogeny of sexual dimorphism in pileus shape, as an approximation of sexual dimorphism in head shape of Balkan wall lizard Podarcis tauricus. To estimate the changes in the level and pattern of shape dimorphism over ontogeny, the differences in pileus shape were calculated for subadults and adults. Sex in both subadults and adults was determined according to the presence of the hemipenal bulges. All individuals with snout-vent length less than 52 mm for females and 53 mm for males were classified as subadults. To estimate ontogenetic trajectories of shape changes, the multivariate regression of shape variables on pileus size was performed. The trajectories of shape changes for females and males were compared. We found no significant sexual dimorphism in pileus shape for subadults, while for adults, pronounced sexual dimorphism was found.
In comparison to females, males have relatively narrower pileus and shorter and narrower rostrum. In males, pileus elongation is especially pronounced in the parietal and anterior part of frontoparietal scales. Frontoparietal scales overlay the frontoparietal suture and observed elongation likely helps to compensate for the increased mechanical stress at the important mesokinetic joint. The calculated ontogenetic trajectories of pileus shape in females and males are homogenous, indicating that the main factor leading to sexual dimorphism in pileus shape of Podarcis tauricus are allometric, size related, changes in shape.

AB  - We tested level of parasite infestation in relation to anthropogenic disturbance and habitat alteration on two lowland populations of Podarcis lizards in Serbia. The population of Podarcis tauricus (N = 90) was examined at the Hatarice pasture, a rather intact steppe habitat at the edge of Deliblato Sands nature reserve. The population of Podarcis muralis (N = 63) was examined at the Reva Lake, a suburban area outside of Belgrade subjected to high levels of anthropogenic disturbance – traffic, littering and intensive construction at the site.
Our research was conducted during the whole activity season, from April to October. The lizards were collected by noose or by hand, measured for snout to vent length (SVL) and body mass, to calculate body condition index. A small blood sample was collected from each individual. The animals were marked and released after short monitoring. They were showing no visible signs of stress. After preservation, blood smears were examined by microscope for signs of infestation with Apicomplexa.
Overall, the percentage of infestation was significantly higher in P. muralis population than in P. tauricus. For females only, the level of infestation was also significantly higher in P. muralis population while, for males, there were no statistically significant differences in infestation level. Infestation level between sexes for each species did not differ significantly.

For females only, the level of infestation was also significantly higher in P. muralis population while, for males, there were no statistically significant differences in infestation level. Infestation level between sexes for each species did not differ significantly.",

AB  - To investigate host-parasite relations in different habitats and its influence on host fitness a
total of 132 lizards belonging to three lacertid species (Lacerta agilis, Podarcis muralis,
Podarcis tauricus) were collected at three localities in Serbia from March to June of 2017. First
locality (Hatarice, 90 m a.s.l.) is a rather preserved steppe habitat of P.tauricus, 66 km northeast
of Belgrade. Second is a montane meadow at Divčibare (980 m a.s.l.), a habitat of L. agilis,
115 km south-west from the capital. Both of them have low anthropogenic disturbance. Third
location (Reva, 70m a.s.l.) is a suburban area, just outside Belgrade, inhabited by L. agilis and
P. muralis, with a high level of anthropogenic disturbance.
Lizards were collected by noose or hand and examined for external parasites. After their
body mass and SVL were measured, they were marked and released. A total number of 117
ticks were removed and preserved. The percentage of tick infestation in every population was
determined. Lizard’s body condition index, parasite load and percentage of infestation were
calculated.
Lacerta agilis from Reva had the highest tick infestation overall (57.14%) and P. muralis from
Reva were also highly infested (42.31%). Tick infestation was low in habitats with minor
anthropogenic disturbance (Hatarice 2.38%; Divčibare 2.94%). Data analysis showed that body
condition index was not significantly correlated with parasite load. No significant differences in
infestation percentage were detected between two species found in the same habitat (Reva).
However, habitat type had a statistically significant influence on tick infestation intensity
among populations.
