Budding speciation, mitochondrial capture and introgression between surface and cave lineages in the Asellus aquaticus species complex

open access: yesCladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Replicated pairs of ancestral and evolutionarily derived populations provide opportunities to test hypotheses about the deterministic laws of evolution. The Asellus aquaticus species complex is an invertebrate model system with several independent surface‐to‐cave transitions and a complicated and unresolved evolutionary history.

Hydrogeological Exploration of the Rječina River Spring in the Dinaric Karst

open access: yesGeologia Croatica, 2010
The Rječina spring is one of the major springs in the DinaricKarst. It appears as the contact between permeable carbonate andimpermeable clastic rocks, with a discharge of up to 120 m3/s but itdries up during the dry summer seasons.

Decoupling glacier retreat and surface stabilization on the Snežnik Plateau (Slovenia), insights from in situ cosmogenic 36Cl exposure and depth‐profile ages

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 7, Page 1060-1077, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Glaciokarst landscapes pose distinctive challenges for cosmogenic dating because meltwater and runoff can be rapidly rerouted into ponors and conduit networks, weakening glacier–river coupling and promoting local sediment storage. We reconstruct glacier retreat and postglacial stabilization on the Snežnik Plateau (SW Slovenia) using in situ ...

Dinaric karst intermittent rivers harbour some rare mayflies (Insecta, Ephemeroptera) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
While investigating the aquatic macroinvertebrate fauna of four intermittent Dinaric karst rivers in Croatia, we confirmed or recorded new distribution data and ecological features for several mayfly species rare in Croatian freshwater habitats ...

Hydrogeological map of the Dinaric Karst Aquifer System

open access: yes, 2017
Groundwaters of the Dinaric Karst form some of the world's largest karst aquifer systems. The Dinaric region contains huge amounts of high quality groundwater. It is one of the major contributors of

Reconstruction of the pleistocene glaciers of Mt. Durmitor in Montenegro

open access: yesActa Geographica Slovenica, 2009
Mount Durmitor is situated in the southeastern part of the Dinaric mountain system in Montenegro. Throughout the Pleistocene there were many glaciers there, which descended to adjacent karst plateau.

The Role of the Southeastern European Mountains as Cradles and Corridors of European Biodiversity: Insights From Agelenid Spiders

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The Southeastern European Mountain System (SEEMS) is a well‐known glacial refugium for European fauna. Bridging the Mediterranean and Caucasus biodiversity hotspots, it is a melting point for diverse faunal elements, but also a center of origin and subsequent dispersal of a unique component of European biodiversity.

Water regulation ecosystem services following gap formation in Fir-beech forests in the Dinaric Karst [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
This paper investigates how variation in forest structural characteristics affects the water retention capacity of gaps and forests in fir-beech forests in the Dinaric Karst.

Holocene Paleolake Evolution of the Bribir–Ostrovica Karst Polje (Dalmatia, Croatia): A Multi-Proxy Lake Sediment Record

open access: yesQuaternary
Karst poljes in the Dinaric karst are widely infilled with Quaternary sediments. In the Bribir–Ostrovica karst polje, these sediments were investigated using geomorphological mapping and multiproxy analysis of lake sediment cores, including grain size ...

Long‐Term Structural, Compositional, and Ecological Shifts in a Temperate Old‐Growth Forest: Insights From Six Decades of Vegetation Resurveys

open access: yesJournal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Six decades of vegetation resurveys in Rajhenavski Rog old‐growth forest (Slovenia, Dinaric Mountains) revealed increasing Fagus sylvatica dominance, persistent Abies alba decline, and reduced herb‐layer cover. Species richness remained stable, but beta diversity declined, indicating floristic homogenization driven mainly by turnover.
