Southern Croatia is distinguished by an extensive region of both low and high Dinaric karst, which stretches almost uninterruptedly for almost 600 km in length and 90-100 km in breadth, parallel to the Adriatic coast. It features many canyons, pits, caves and underground rivers and lakes which are characterized by very stable ecological conditions. The

Early Life History and Growth ofNephelopsis obscuraVerrill, 1872 (Pharyngobdellida: Erpobdellidae)
ABSTRACT The reproduction and early growth of the erpobdellid leech Nephelopsis obscura in laboratory culture are presented, enabling a comparison to size structure of natural populations. Individual Nephelopsis obscura in culture were found to produce cocoons over a prolonged spawning period with emergent young of markedly different weight.
