Title: | Amphibians in Serbia - Distribution and diversity patterns | Authors: | Vukov, Tanja Kalezić, Miloš Tomović, Ljiljana Krizmanić, Imre Jović, Danko Labus, Nenad Džukić, Georg |
Keywords: | Amphibian diversity;Distribution;Zoogeography | Issue Date: | Dec-2013 | Rank: | M53 | Project: | Diversity of the amphibians and reptiles on the Balkan Peninsula: evolutionary and conservation aspects | Journal: | Bulletin of the Natural History Museum | Issue: | 6 | Start page: | 90 | End page: | 112 | Abstract: | Considering the need for an up-to-date overview of the distribution and diversity of amphibians of Serbia, we mapped the species distributions upon current, mostly unpublished, faunistic data. Also, we compared batrachofaunas of Serbia and other Balkan countries in terms of species number and zoogeographic batrachofaunistic elements. With its 21 native species (8 urodeles and 13 anurans), Serbia appears to be the second most diverse country in the Balkans. We found three main centres of species richness in Panonnian and Peripannonian Serbia (with 15-17 species per 50 x 50 km square) which signals urgency for their protection. Serbian batrachofauna is most similar to that of the eastern Balkan countries (Bulgaria and Romania). Zoogeographic analysis showed that amphibian fauna of Serbia consists of six chorotypes, with the central-European and southern-European as the most dominant ones. |
