“…Although the diversity of studied aquatic habitats was higher in Herzegovina (Table ), a smaller number of species was recorded in this area (Table ). Reduced species richness in the Mediterranean versus temperate region was also observed in caddisfly communities of Croatia (Kučinić, ; Previšić et al, ; Vučković, ). Regarding the endemism patterns, in the very distinctive network of aquatic habitats in Central Bosnia, there are 16 taxa with limited distribution (out of 67 species recorded, i.e., 23.9%) of which one is regional endemic taxa (i.e., Potamophylax haidukorum ).…”

The caddisfly community composition and structure were studied in the Mediterranean (i.e., central part of Herzegovina) and the temperate (i.e., Central Bosnia) regions of the country which differ considerably regarding the climate, hydrology, geomorphology, and vegetation. In both studied areas, four rivers with seven sampling sites each were selected for light‐trapping of adult caddisflies during a one‐year period. A total of 97 species were collected (i.e., 52 in Herzegovina during 2003 and 67 in Central Bosnia during 2004) and seven of them are first records for Bosnia and Herzegovina. Marked differences in caddisfly community composition and structure between the two regions were found and confirmed by a cluster analysis of comparable river sites. These differences could be primarily linked to observed variability in environmental factors. Also, distinct phenological patterns of caddisflies were found in the Mediterranean and temperate parts, respectively, and these were further analyzed in detail for the five most abundant common species. For the populations in Central Bosnia, generally later and shorter periods of flight were recorded. Therefore, we tested the influence of meteorological parameters (night air temperature during the light‐trapping, and monthly values of air temperature, precipitation, humidity, cloudiness, and wind speed) on flight activity and periodicity of caddisflies in both regions. Air temperature proved to be the most important of tested parameters influencing caddisfly flight patterns (rs > 0.87 for monthly values and rs > 0.44 for air temperatures during light‐trapping; p < 0.001). Thus, temperature during light‐trapping and minimum monthly values seem to be important for the flight of caddisflies, since these values were significantly different (p < 0.001 and p < 0.05, respectively) in the two regions of the country. Additionally, in this paper we will discuss some implications for conservation of caddisflies due to the predicted climate change.

“…With 77 recorded species, caddisfly species richness is high at the studied karstic habitats (e.g. Kučinić et al 2011Kučinić et al , 2017Vučković 2011). The number of recorded species represents one of the highest number of caddisflies species recorded in one systematic research in Croatia (Kučinić 2002;Kučinić et al 2011Kučinić et al , 2017Vučković 2011).…”

“…Trichoptera are present in all continents except Antarctica, with the highest biodiversity in Central and Southern America and Asia (Holzenthal et al 2007;Morse 2020). They occur in almost all habitat types, however, the highest biodiversity is in streams and small rivers (Hickin 1967;Kučinić et al 2017;Stanić-Koštroman et al 2015;Wallace et al 1990). Caddisflies require habitats with specific environmental conditions in their habitats such as water temperature, water velocity, substrate composition, availability of food resources, etc.…”

Caddisfly faunistic and ecological features were studied at 14 sampling sites along the catchment area of the Dobra River. Adults were collected monthly, over a period of 13 months (from early November 2009 until the end of November 2010), using ultraviolet (UV) light trap and entomological net. Physico-chemical parameters of water and air were also measured at all sampling sites. The study encompassed several segments of caddisfly fauna: the composition, new records, the distribution of all recorded species and seasonal dynamics. A total number of 77 species were recorded, out of which 15 species and four genera were new records for Croatian caddisfly fauna. The CCA analysis showed that the water temperature and the altitude had the highest impact on distribution of caddisfly fauna in this area. The results of this study contribute to the increase of faunistic and ecological knowledge of the Croatian caddisflies.

“…This species was found at only one site in northern Croatia in the first half of the 20 th century (Malicky, 2009) and at one site at the beginning of the 21 st century in the Cetina River (Graf et al, 2008). In the last 20 years (for example Kučinić et al, 2008Kučinić et al, , 2017bCerjanec, 2012;Previšić et al, 2009Previšić et al, , 2013Previšić et al, , 2014 the species was found only at one site, on the Cetina River (Graf et al, 2008) (Fig. 4).…”

Trichoptera research carried out in Croatia in the last years (Graf et al, 2008;Kučinić et al, 2017b;Previšić et al, 2013;Waringer et al, 2009) resulted in 5 species from the family Phryganeidae (Tab. 1) but O. reticulata recorded in the area of the Gacka River (Marinković-Gospodnetić, 1979) is unknown elsewhere.…”

A.: DNA barcoding of the family Phryganeidae (Insecta, Trichoptera) in Croatia with particular reference to phylogeny, distribution and conservation biology. Nat. Croat., Vol. 28, No. 2., 305-323, 2019, Zagreb.In Europe the Phryganeidae family comprises 7 genera and 20 species. In Croatia, 6 species have been recorded from this family, and four of them recorded and collected in the last five years have been DNA barcoded. In terms of faunistic research, most interesting is the record of Trichostegia minor Curtis, 1834 from the region of the Gacka River in Lika, in upland Croatia. Up to now four species have been included in the BOLD system with 6 DNA-barcoded specimens. From the Gacka River area, 11 specimens of 8 species, including T. minor, have been barcoded and included into the BOLD system. Phylogenetic research based on DNA barcode data has shown some interesting results. Specimen of T. minor collected in the area of the Gacka River is clustered with a specimen of this species from Austria into a separate subgroup, which shows minor molecular specifics. Phylogenetic analysis has confirmed the justification of the status of a subspecies from Mongolia, Phryganea grandis rotundata Ulmer, 1905.Future Trichoptera fauna research in Croatia will continue investigations of the family Phryganeidae in various parts of the country for the purpose of ascertaining the detailed distribution of all the species recorded, to enable finding some other previously missing species, as well as collecting and DNA barcoding of Hagenella clathrata (Kolenati, 1848) and Oligostomis reticulata (Linnaeus, 1761). With respect to these species, the data will also be useful for the area of conservation biology, necessary for their protection and for the protection of the sites in which they occur, for it is clear that these are very rare species in Croatia, T. minor also belonging to this group: 50% of the species from this family recorded in Croatia are rare and very rare species.
