Summary
SPELEOLOGICAL AND BIOSPELEOLOGICAL RESEARCH OF CAVES IN KOSTRENA COUNTY DURING THE PERIOD OF 2009.-2011. By Marko Lukic et al
Systematic speleological and biospeleological research of caves in Kostrena County were conducted during the period of"2009. ? 2011 In total 12 caves and 4 tunnels were found Two pits (Jama iznad Martinscice and jama Bezdan) are completely devastated. Maps for 5 caves were made and for most of the caves air humidity, air. water and sediment temperature, and physical and chemical parameters of water were measured. The deepest pit of the County, Karlovajama, with 28 meters of depth was explored. Urinjska spilja cave is the richest cave for cave fauna in the County because of it's size and number of different habitats. Some of the most interesting findings are: pselaphtde beetle of genus Machaerites, miniature whip scorpions of genus Eukoenenia, decapode crustacean of genus Troglocaris, terrestrial snail Zospeum kusceri, false scorpion Neobisium insulare, cell spiders Stalita sp. and Rhode aspinifera. Altogether. 14 troglobitic and 3 stygobitic species were found.
Key words: cave fauna, cave climate, caves, speleology, Kostrena
