The discovery of two new species demonstrates the significance of taxonomic studies in Europe, and the importance of adequate training for young scientists in order to assess an incompletely described biodiversity under threat of extinction.

Findings shed light on the processes generating the high genetic complexity of this refugial region that parallels the ‘refugia within refugia’ pattern widely reported from the Iberian refugium.

Species distribution model projections and genetic structure suggest that the endemic species persisted in situ and diversified locally throughout multiple Pleistocene climate cycles.
Integrative taxonomy by molecular species delimitation: multi-locus data corroborate a new species of Balkan Drusinae micro-endemics

This work uses molecular species delimitation tools that either quantify differences in intra- and interspecific variability of loci, or divergence times within and between species, or perform coalescent species tree inference to estimate species-level entities in molecular genetic datasets.
Caddisfly (Insecta: Trichoptera) fauna of Papuk Nature Park, Croatia

- Environmental Science, Biology
- 30 June 2013
The rare Beraea maurus was recorded for the first time in Croatia after the single finding in 1934 and some of these species were also hitherto not recorded within the ecoregion Hungarian lowlands (ER11).
Environmental control of emergence patterns: Case study of changes in hourly and daily emergence of aquatic insects at constant and variable water temperatures
- M. Ivković, M. Miliša, A. Previšić, A. Popijač, Z. Mihaljević
- Environmental Science, Biology
- 1 May 2013
New insight is given into the complexity of relationships between aquatic insect emergence patterns and environmental drivers, and light and weather conditions trigger emergence of most insects under constant water temperature conditions, while temperature is a dominant trigger at variable water temperature habitat.

Community composition and structure is only to some degree influenced by microhabitat characteristics, but rather by their general position within the barrage-lake system, i.e., longitudinal distribution and thereby availability of different food resources.

Two species of the genus Adicella, A. cremisa from Croatia and A. balcanica from Croatia, recorded in the summer period of 2014 which represent the first records of these species in Croatia, showed no significant difference in the mtCOI region and they are highly similar to A. ashesisa from Italy.
