Izvleček. V prispevku podajamo opis prvih najdb nimfnega netopirja (Myotis alcathoe) v Sloveniji. Samec in dve samici te vrste so bili ujeti ob mlaki pri Rdečem kamnu sredi starih bukovih-jelovih gozdov na Kočevskem rogu, kjer je bilo zabeleženo še 16 drugih vrst netopirjev. Nimfni netopir je 30. vrsta netopirjev v Sloveniji. Predvidevamo, da je razširjen po starih listopadnih gozdovih, kar pa bodo lahko potrdile le nadaljnje terenske raziskave v povezavi z genetskimi metodami.

Abstract. We present first observations of Myotis alcathoe in Slovenia. A male and two females of this species were mistnetted at a pond surrounded by an old full-grown beech-fir forest near Rdeči kamen (Kočevski rog), where other 16 bat species were found as well. Myotis alcathoe is the 30th bat species in Slovenia, and we assume that it inhabits other similar old broadleaf forests as well, which could be confirmed by further fieldwork coupled with genetic testing.

Abstract Formerly known from Macedonia only from two old records made in the southeasternmost part of the country, the species has been newly recorded on 20-VII-2008 at the Luda Mara stream south of Kavadarci (S Macedonia), on 24-VII-2008 at the Konska Reka stream west of Gevgelija (SE Macedonia) and on 26-IV-2010 at the Sermeninska Reka stream northwest of Gevgelija (SE Macedonia). At all localities, the species' development has been confirmed. Its currently known distribution in Macedonia and the neighbouring countries is presented and a short zoogeographical discussion provided.

Abstract. We offer preliminary reports on the presence of the Danube Crested Newt, Triturus dobrogicus, in Slovenia. This species reaches its western border of distribution in Hungary, Austria and Croatia, but untill recently it was not known from Slovenia. Here we report on the first record of this species in Slovenia, found in Dolinsko polje of the Prekmurje region during the herpetological surveys carried out in the spring of 2009 and 2010. The species identity was determined by coloration, body shape and the Wolterstorff Index values. Only with additional genetic analysis could we answer if this is a pure population or whether hybridisation with T. carnifex is present.

Izvleček. V bližini Slovenije je panonski pupek poznan iz Avstrije, Hrvaške in Madžarske. Spomladi 2009 in 2010 smo na Dolinskem polju v Prekmurju na podlagi vzorca obarvanja, oblike telesa in Wolterstorffovega indeksa prvič določili in zabeležili to vrsto v Sloveniji. V prispevku so predstavljeni preliminarni rezultati, medtem ko bodo za ugotovitev, ali je populacija iz Dolinskega polja čista ali pa se križa z velikim pupkom, potrebne nadaljnje genetske analize.

Abstract. An updated checklist of Recent free-living freshwater ostracods (Podocopida, Ostracoda, Crustacea) from Slovenia together with new records is presented. The new checklist is based on both the records extracted from the literature and the sampling in the field carried out during the last decade. The present checklist comprises 61 species. However, the eastern part of Slovenia and the surface waters are underrepresented. It is expected that the number of species will increase in the future.

Izvleček. Avtorja predstavljata najnovejši seznam recentnih vrst prostoživečih dvoklopnikov (Podocopida, Ostracoda, Crustacea) iz celinskih voda Slovenije ter nove najdbe za Slovenijo. Novi seznam temelji na podatkih, povzetih iz obstoječih publikacij, ter podatkih, pridobljenih med terenskim vzorčenjem v zadnjih 10 letih, ter vsebuje 61 vrst. Pričakovati je, da je število vrst veliko večje, saj primanjkuje podatkov iz vzhodne Slovenije in iz površinskih vod, ki so manj intenzivno vzorčevane kot podzemne vode.

Abstract. As a part of the 2^nd European Congress on Odonatology (ECOO 2012), which was held in the beginning of July 2012 in Belgrade (Serbia), a post congress excursion to Bosnia and Herzegovina was organized. Between 6 and 12 August 2012, altogether 36 localities in three biogeographical regions throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina were surveyed, and 52 dragonfly species were found. This represents 83% of the hitherto recorded dragonfly species for the country. The most significant results are the second record and a new locality of Somatochlora metallica, second record of Coenagrion hastulatum, and first observation of the strong population of Lindenia tetraphylla for the country. New records of rare and/or threatened species, i.e. Coenagrion ornatum, Ceriagrion tenellum, Caliaeschna microstigma, Cordulegaster heros and Selysiothemis nigra, are also reported. The records of the most interesting species are briefly discussed from the aspects of biogeography and nature conservation.

Izvleček. Kot del drugega evropskega odonatološkega kongresa (ECOO 2012), ki je v začetku julija 2012 potekal v Beogradu (Srbija), je bila organizirana pokongresna ekskurzija v Bosno in Hercegovino. V času med 6. in 12. julijem 2012 je bilo v treh biogeografskih regijah pregledanih 36 lokalitet in popisanih 52 vrst kačjih pastirjev, kar je 83 % vseh znanih vrst kačjih pastirjev za Bosno in Hercegovino. Med pomembnejšimi je bilo zabeleženo drugo pojavljanje in novo nahajališče kovinskega lesketnika (Somatochlora metallica), drugo pojavljanje barjanskega škratca (Coenagrion hastulatum) in prvo opažanje populacije velike peščenke (Lindenia tetraphylla) za državo. Poročamo tudi o novih nahajališčih redkih in/ali ogroženih vrst: koščičnega škratca (Coenagrion ornatum), rdečega voščenca (Ceriagrion tenellum), bledega vetrnjaka (Caliaeschna microstigma), velikega studenčarja (Cordulegaster heros) in temnega slaniščarja (Selysiothemis nigra). Najzanimivejše najdbe so na kratko opisane z biogeografskega in naravovarstvenega vidika.

Abstract. In spring 2010, we encountered 60 butterfly species during field surveys centred mainly in the under-surveyed southeastern part of the Republic of Macedonia. We visited 23 localities, where several interesting observations were made. Among these, new sites of some rare species such as Pontia chloridice, Pieris krueperi, Plebejus sephirus, Scolitantides orion, Tarucus balkanicus, Melitaea ornata, Carcharodus orientalis, and Erynnis marloyi should be mentioned. Such a high number of species observed indicates an overall high butterfly diversity of this region, particularly in the lower Vardar valley. Here, several specific habitats hosting rare and threatened species were discovered. The anthropogenic pressure on important butterfly habitat is still low in the surveyed area; however, the first signs of large scale abandonment are already visible.

Izvleček. Spomladi 2010 smo med terenskimi raziskavami, usmerjenimi predvsem v manj raziskani jugovzhodni del Republike Makedonije, zabeležili 60 vrst dnevnih metuljev. Obiskali smo 23 lokacij in našli številne zanimive in redke vrste. Med njimi lahko posebej omenimo nova najdišča za Pontia chloridice, Pieris krueperi, Plebejus sephirus, Scolitantides orion, Tarucus balkanicus, Melitaea ornata, Carcharodus orientalis in Erynnis marloyi. Veliko število opaženih vrst v pomladanskem obdobju nakazuje visoko vrstno pestrost dnevnih metuljev tega območja, še posebej spodnjega dela doline reke Vardar. Tu smo odkrili nekaj specifičnih življenjskih okolij z redkimi in ogroženimi vrstami metuljev. Antropogeni vpliv na življenjski prostor, pomemben za metulje, je na tem območju še vedno omejen, po drugi strani pa se nekatera območja velikih travniških površin pospešeno zaraščajo.

Abstract. Golden jackals (Canis aureus) have been recorded in the Slovenian Julian pre-Alps for more than 50 years. In recent years, however, a substantial increase in sightings of golden jackalshas been recorded in the area around the town of Bovec. During the present study we gathered information through interviews with local hunters and other residents and conducted a basic questionnaire on their opinion about this expanding carnivore. In addition, we performed monitoring of jackals with the use of acoustic playback method, photo-traps and searching for footprints and other signs of jackal presence. We also reviewed the database of the reported jackal depredations on livestock at the Bovec Forest Service. In total, we conducted 31 interviews and gathered information on 100 records of jackal presence from 2009 to 2012. The questionnaire showed a negative attitude toward jackal among local hunters. Using acoustic methods, we were unable to confirm the presence of a territorial jackal group, but we did detect jackals on 26 photographs made with photo-traps at one location. During the study, two jackals were killed by car and we collected tissue samples for potential future genetic analysis. Official records of depredations showed high increase in assumed jackal attacks on sheep, but we could not confirm if or how many of these depredations were actually caused by jackals. Further studies are needed to understand the real extent of jackal predation on domestic and wild ungulates, as well as the origin and development of this new jackal group(s) in the Julian pre-Alps.

Izvleček. Najstarejši podatki o pojavu zlatega šakala (Canis aureus) v Julijskih Predalpah so znani izpred več kot 50 let. V zadnjih nekaj letih pa se je predvsem v okolici mesta Bovec število opažanj šakalov močno povečalo. V raziskavi sva zbrala podatke prek intervjujev s člani lokalnih lovskih družin ter nekaterimi drugimi domačini. Z anketo sva tudi ugotavljala, kakšno je njihovo mnenje o šakalu. Terensko delo je obsegalo izzivanje oglašanja šakalov s predvajanjem posnetkov, nastavljanje samosprožilnih kamer ter iskanje sledi in drugih znakov prisotnosti te vrste. Pregledali smo tudi arhiv zabeleženih škod na drobnici, ki ga vodi krajevna enota Zavoda za gozdove. Opravljenih je bilo 31 intervjujev, prek katerih smo zbrali 100 različnih lokacij šakala med letoma 2009 in 2012. Rezultati ankete so pokazali negativen odnos do pojava šakala na Bovškem. Z metodo predvajanja posnetkov oglašanja nam ni uspelo zabeležiti odziva, zato pa nam je pa pojavljanje šakalov uspelo potrditi z uporabo foto-pasti, in sicer na 26 posnetkih z ene lokacije. Med raziskavo sta bila na območju povožena tudi dva šakala, kar smo izkoristili za odvzem tkiva za morebitne nadaljnje genetske raziskave. Uradni podatki napadov na drobnico velik delež pripisujejo šakalu, a je trenutno težko oceniti, v kolikšni meri je te napade dejansko povzročil šakal. Za realno oceno obsega napadov na drobnico in divjad so potrebne tarčne raziskave, prav tako glede izvora in širjenja šakala v Julijskih Predalpah.

Abstract. In 2012, we recorded a Black Pennant, Selysiothemis nigra, at two sites in Bosnia and Herzegovina, i.e. in the surroundings of Klepci village and in Hutovo Blato Nature Park, Neretva River. These are the first recent records of this species in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which had previously been known only from the entomological collection in the Museum of Sarajevo. As this species had previously been recorded on the Croatian side of the Neretva River, these records fit into the distribution area of the species. With the confirmation of this record, the dragonfly fauna of Bosnia and Herzegovina consists of 60 species.

Izvleček. V teku leta 2012 je bil zabeležen temni slaniščar, Selysiothemis nigra, na dveh lokacijah v Bosni in Hercegovini v okolici vasi Klepci in Naravnega Parka Hutovo Blato, reka Neretva. To sta v Bosni in Hercegovini prvi nedavni najdbi te vrste, ki je bila prej poznana iz entomološke zbirke muzeja v Sarajevu. Najdba je znotraj znanega areala vste, ki je bila predhodno zabeležena na hrvaški strani reke Neretve. S potrditvijo te najdbe šteje favna kačjih pastirjev Bosne in Hercegovine 60 vrst.
