A remarkable diversification of the freshwater ichthyofauna in the Peri-Mediterranean is an outstanding legacy of the complex paleogeographical and evolutionary history of southern Europe. The Dinaric karst on the Balkan Peninsula harbours endemic cyprinoid genera including Phoxinellus and Delminichthys (fam. Leuciscidae), an ancient monotypic genu...
In the last 50 years, there have been several outbreaks of epidemics caused by pathogenic bacteria that have been transmitted by consuming contaminated fresh vegetables. The greatest consequences were caused by an epidemic caused by Escherichia coli O157:H7 from pumpkin, which affected almost 4,000 people in Germany in 2011, over 50 of whom died. M...
This sighting record of marbled polecat Vormela peregusna is the westernmost for this globally vulnerable (VU) carnivore out of the native distribution range and the first one for Bosnia and Herzegovina. The current national conservational status is unknown. Hence, this species should be data deficient (DD) in the national legislative.
Risk assessment of the aquatic ecosystem of the River Jadar is based on the composition and amount of wastewater that is to be processed and released into the stream. This study aimed to assess the effects of untreated wastewater on aquatic ecosystem components, presumably fishes, by simulating the accident. Methodology relied exclusively on the pu...
