Plenty of books on this topic:
AN OVERVIEW OF THE CAVE AND INTERSTITIAL BIOTA OF CROATIA edited by Sanja Gottstein Matocec 2002 112 pp 45 figs, ofwhich 10 are full page colour plates, two photos per page. Published as Natura Croatica Vol 11 Supp 1, this is an in depth study of cave animals. In English, SB ?25.00
ATLAS SPILJSKIH TIPSKIH LOCALITETA FAUNE REPUBLIKE HRVATSKE SVEZAK 1 / ATLAS OF CAVE LOCALITIES OF CROATIAN FAUNA - VOLUME 1 by Branko Jalzic et al 2010 261 pp, over 300 colour photos, locations maps etc. This is a comprehensive catalogue of cave animals which are found in the Dinaric Karst which covers an areas of more than half of the Republic of Croatia. There is a 3 page summary in Croatian and English. The rest of the catalogue lists 254 caves and their fauna. The Croatian vocabulary is fairly basic: Sinonimi for alternative cave names; Polozaj for location and Opisane svojte for the species described. This is a lavishly illustrated book with a limited print run of 500 copies. For each cave there is usually an explanatory location map, a photograph of the cave entrance, a survey, and a list of references. Each species is illustrated with a colour photograph and the Latin name is used, which means the name is recognised all over the world. HB ?45.00
BARAC?S CAVES by Tihomir Kova?evi? Tihi 2003 48 pp many photos. This a detail guide to a famous show cave in Croatia. Topics covered include: location, geology, history, paleontalogiva and archaeological research, biospeleology, Lower, Upper and New Barac Caves, SB In English ?10.00 080316 DB
BARA?EVE ?PILJE by Tihomir Kova?evi? Tihi 2003 48 pp many photos. This a detail guide to a famous show cave in Croatia. Topics covered include: location, geology, history, paleontalogiva and archaeological research, biospeleology, Lower, Upper and New Barac Caves, SB In Croatian ?10.00 BCRA 050516
BIOKOVO by Roman Ozimec and numerous contributors 2008 282 pp, numerous colour photos, about two per page. This is luxurious monograph on the Biokovo mountain range in Croatia. All aspects of the national park are covered with chapters on Geography, Geology, Speleology, Fungi, Fauna, Archaeology, Architecture, Ethnology, Mountains and climbing, Tourism etc. The first account of caving in Biokovo dates from 1774 when Alberto Fortis described in his book ?A Journey Through Dalmatia? some natural ice pits. Many of these shafts have north facing entrance preserving the ice even summer. In the days before refrigerators these ice pits were highly sought after for preserving food. The most famous cave in the Park is Tucepska Vilenjaca at a height of 1180 m above sea level. A small hole at the bottom of a 100 m high rock face leads 2 km long cave with some impressive speleothems. Vilenjaca means ?Cave of Fairies? and legend has it that beautiful blonde girls with horses legs lived in the cave and used to scare passers-by in the dark. The deepest cave in the Park is Jama (Pothole) Amfors ? 788 m and with an entrance1590 m above sea level. It is located 1 km south of Sveti Jure. It is a very strenuous cave, near vertical with very little horizontal development. HB In Croatian ?9.00
BLATTOCHAETA MARIANII KUSIJANOVICI New Subspecies (Coleoptera, Leiodidae, Cholevinae) from Croatia by Slavko Polak and Branko Jal?i? (offprint from) Nat Croat 18 (1) 15-27 pp. Zagreb June 30, 2009. With cave surveys and location maps in colour. SB In English with summary in Croation. ?1.00
BIOSPELEOLO?KA ISTRA?IVANJA VODENE FAUNE ANHIHALIH ?PILJA JAMA NA PODRU?JU NP ?KORNATI? [Biospeleological research into water fauna in anchialine caves and pits in the National Park "Kornati" (South Croatia)] by Dr Sanja Gottstein and Branko Jali?. ND [2007?] pages not numbered. 43 pp, 40 colour photos, 11 surveys. A very interesting report, is shows that different species of cave animal [Niphargus etc] live in set levels of salinity. SB In Croatian. ?6.00
BIOSPELEOLOGICA DINARIC [Research and protection of cave fauna sites typical of the Dinarides] 2012 11 pp, full colour. A handy little guide to cave fauna in the Dinaric Alps. SB In Croatian, SB ?3.00
BIODIVERSITY AND DISTRIBUTION OF CAVE COLLEMBOLA (HEXAPODA) ON BIOKOVO MT., CROATIA by Marko Lukic and Louis Deharveng 2008 from Advances in Studies of the fauna in the Balkan Peninsular. pp 119-136 8 figs, colur maps etc. In English SB ?3.00
and that is only as far a B in the alphabet.
