abstract = "Initial investigations of the high-mountain lakes of Mt. Šar-planina were performed from 1996 to 1997,
with the aim of studying the distribution and diversity of Oligochaeta fauna. These studies included 9
glacial lakes at an altitude ranging from 1,560 m to 2,260 m. Fourteen taxa, belonging to 12 genera and 4 families were recorded. The greatest number of taxa of Oligochaeta fauna was recorded at the Gornje (10 taxa) and Donje Tupankamensko Lakes (7 taxa). The species Nais communis, Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri and Lumbriculus variegatus were detected in six out of the nine lakes examined. The greatest number of collected specimens belonged to the species Stylodrilus lemani in the peat of Šištevačko Lake. The other species were represented by only 2-5 individuals in the lakes where they were recorded. After processing the samples, we concluded that the high-mountain lakes of Mt. Šar-planina are characterized by low diversity and low abundance of Oligochaeta fauna.",
