ABSTRACT

Lelo, S., & Lukić-Bilela, L. Preliminary batrachological (Vertebrata, Amphibia) investigation of Municipality Zavidovići. In this paper we present a new finding of eight amphibian species on Zavidovići Municipality area. Our finding was comparing with historical data and them actual biosystematics position. It has been discussed the importance of investigation of some animal groups on locality of Tajan mountain as a Natural Park of Federation Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Key words: amphibians, frogs, salamanders, biodiversity, Zavidovići, Tajan, Bosnia and Herzegovina

SUMMARY

Conditionally, the batrachological investigations in Bosnia and Herzegovina could be divide on fourth periods: (1) The period of Ottoman Empire/Austro-Hungarian Monarchy (until 1918), (2) The period of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (1918-1943), (3) The period of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1943-1992) and (4) The period of indipendent Bosnia and Herzegovina (from 1992: Lelo, 2009b, 2009b, 2010).

Former investigations of amphibian fauna in Bosnia and Herzegovina were cited at least 18 species. Preliminary batrachological research in area of Zavidovići Municipality (4.-5. June, 2010) has shown an eight of 10 usually present species in fauna of middle Bosnia. During the screening area between the centre of Zavidovići, to Nature Park Tajan, the following species were asserted: Salamandra salamandra Linnaeus, Lissotriton vulgaris Linnaeus, Ichthyosaura alpestris Laurenti, Bombina variegata Linnaeus, Bufo bufo Linnaeus, Rana graeca Boulenger, R. temporaria Linnaeus i Pelophylax ridibundus Palas.

The specimen number of all asserted species was at the very high level. Thereby, the future systematic investigation of amphibian fauna in Zavidovići Municipality is preferable due to the ecological condition monitoring of present ecosystems.
