The Two Stages of Structural Formation of the Coastal Belt of the External Dinarides

open access: yesGeologia Croatica, 2010
Two successive stages of tectonism have been responsible for the formation of structures in the coastal part of the External Dinarides. As a result, Dinaride- and Hvar-striking structures formed, showing NW-SE and E-W strike orientation, respectively.

Lower and Middle Liassic Calcareous Algae (Dasycladales) from Mt. Velebit (Croatia) and Mt. Trnovski Gozd (Slovenia) with Particular Reference to the Genus Palaeodasycladus (PIA, 1920) 1927 and Its Species

open access: yesGeologia Croatica, 2001
Based on the characteristics of individual species, the generic characteristics of Palaeodasycladus have been determined and enlarged. P. mediterraneus (PIA, 1920) 1927 comprises a broad array of varieties that have been taxonomically distinguished on ...

Is chamois hybridization in the northern Dinaric Mountains an important factor for horn development?

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2018, Issue 1, Page 1-8, January 2018., 2018
The Dinaric region is the natural habitat of the Alpine chamois Rupicapra rupicapra rupicapra and Balkan chamois Rupicapra rupicapra balcanica. Recently confirmed, these two subspecies hybridize in the contact zone on Mts Velebit, coastal Croatia. Patterns of horn development in chamois can differ within populations and subspecies, and are mostly ...

History of investigations of fossil algae in Croatia

open access: yesGeologia Croatica, 2008
Investigations of fossil algae in Croatia began in 1907 with the very first description of the Permian dasyclad Mizzia velebitana from Mt. Velebit by Austrian geologist Richard Schubert. This was followed by Julius Pia’s investigations (1920, 1925),

Integrative Taxonomy, Phylogeny, and New Species of the Weevil Genus Onyxacalles Stüben (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Cryptorhynchinae)

open access: yesPsyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
A molecular phylogeny of the western Palearctic weevil genus Onyxacalles Stüben, 1999 is presented, combining two mitochondrial genes (COI and 16S) in a Bayesian analysis. Based on molecular data, Onyxacalles pyrenaeus Boheman, 1844 is transferred into the genus Kyklioacalles Stüben 1999 (K.

Equatorial Shelf of the Palaeozoic Supercontinent – Cradle of the Adriatic Carbonate Platform [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
During the Carboniferous and Permian, several carbonate platforms existed along the eastern coast of the supercontinent Pangaea. Croatian Palaeozoic carbonate sediments were produced in this “carbonate factory”.

Tidal Dynamics in Coastal Karst Caves: Contributions to Coastal Hydrology and Historical Relative Sea‐Level Reconstruction Using Phreatic Overgrowths on Speleothems in the Eastern Adriatic

open access: yesHydrological Processes, Volume 39, Issue 5, May 2025.
Year‐long monitoring of seawater and cave groundwater reveals strong tidal influence, with a 20–30 min lag indicating high hydraulic connectivity in this karst aquifer. Seasonal variations, largest in autumn, affected seawater mixing, as seen in dissolved oxygen levels, while stable pH highlighted the system's buffering capacity. These findings enhance

Seismotectonically Active Zones in the Dinarides [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Seismotectonically active zones are formed due to displacements of segments of the Adriatic micro-plate that differ in size and in their rate of movement, and by the resistance of the rock masses of the Dinarides.

A Multi‐Modelling Approach for Informing the Conservation of a Cold‐Adapted Terrestrial Amphibian in the Face of Climate Change

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 51, Issue 12, Page 2469-2483, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Aim We aimed to assess potential climate change impacts on the distribution of a cold‐adapted terrestrial amphibian that shows strong intraspecific differentiation. Location Alps and Dinarides. Taxon Alpine salamander (Salamandra atra). Methods We built SDMs for each of two major intraspecific lineages (S. a.
