The photographies, made during the SubBIOCODE expeditions, were presented at a photo exhibition that was set on the 25th May 2022 at the spring Vrioštica in Vitina. The photographies present hidden treasures of subterranean biodiversity in Bosnia and Herzegovina and include stunning photos of some very rare cave animals. Along…
In order to promote the studies of subterranean fauna and its proper sampling, especially in the project region, we prepared guidelines for sampling invertebrates in caves and springs and an infographic on molecular analyses of the collected samples. This is intended to be of help to students, naturalists and researchers,…
On 18th-20th March 2022 members of SubBioLab and CKS held a student workshop in Trebinje, where the participants learned about sampling techniques used in investigating life in subterranean habitats. There were 19 participants from different universities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, who were taken to two caves and a few springs…
SubBioLab and Center for Karst and speleology are organizing a workshop on sampling techniques used in subterranean biology in Trebinje, 18th – 20 th March 2022. Along with students from Bosnia and Herzegovina we will visit some caves and springs on Popovo Polje and learn about sampling techniques, organization of…
Dejana Vasić, our third SubBIOCODE internship recipient, has finished her stay in Ljubljana. Here she focused on the research of range sizes and conservation issues of selected aquatic taxa that occur in the Trebišnjica river catchment. Her work included preparation of the occurrence data for the selected taxa, and arranging…
We are happy to welcome Dejana from Banja Luka, our third SubBIOCODE intern! She will focus on the overview of subterranean biodiversity in Southeastern Bosnia and Herzegovina. Her work will include mapping species distributions of selected subterranean species, analyzing species richness and interpreting those results in view of species protection…
A month went by very quickly and two SubBIOCODE internships were finished. Džana and Miroslav used the visit to SubBioLab to get acquainted with the diverse aspects of subterranean biology research needed in conservation, and they also focused on their own specific research problems. Džana spent quite some hours in…
As part of the SubBIOCODE internship, Rok Kostanjšek took the time to demonstrate the impressive possibilities of micro CT to Džana and Miroslav by ‘slicing’ one of his favorite research objects. By using its power they managed to see different tissues, including muscles, glands and bones, that compose Proteus’s body.…
We are proudly announcing that the 3rd Dinaric Symposium on Subterranean Biology will be organized in Trebinje, Bosnia and Herzegovina, in April 2022! Following Zagreb (2016) and Postojna (2019), the venue will be transferred to Southern Dinarides – Trebišnjica River catchment. The main premise of Symposium is to establish and…
