Summary: Project "Investigation of fauna and ecology of vertebrates
of Eastern Croatia" covers preparation of the inventory of all vertebrate
species - birds, mammals, reptilia, amphibia and fishes - living in Eastern
Croatia, determination of their distribution area and population level.
Also, research will give the answer which of them are threatened species.
On the basis of this research, measures for the protection and management
for these species could be drawn out.
Research goals: Main aims of project "Investigation of fauna and
ecology of vertebrates of Eastern Croatia" are: a) answer the question how
many vertebrates species live in Eastern Croatia; b) determine their
distribution range and population level; c) determination of extinction
and/or new species occurence on the basis of comparation recent and past
data; and d) determine the population dinamics. Some species, e.g. Great
Cormorant and White-tailed Eagle, would be study in details especially
their ecology. On the basis of these results we will be able to use the
knowledge on fauna and ecology of vertebrates of Eastern Croatia in order
to conserve, protect and use on sustainable way the natural heritage of
this region.
