Abstract
A key step in conserving biological diversity is to understand biodiversity patterns based on multiple independent lines of evidence. The aims of this dissertation were to investigate the morphological variability, and by applying DNA barcoding, provide first insights into genetic diversity of two invertebrate lineages: pseudoscorpions and stoneflies, both characterized by high degree of endemism and cryptic diversity. Generated DNA barcodes, 499 for pseudoscorpions and 355 for stoneflies, revealed DNA barcoding as an effective tool for specimen identification. Integrative approach identified 47 putative new species of pseudoscorpions and six species of stoneflies, including recently described stenoendemic Isoperla popijaci. Several species and generic hypotheses in both groups need to be re-tested when additional data become available. Phylogenetic reconstructions confirmed high genetic diversity in both groups, while this diversity in pseudoscorpions correlates with geomorphological features and consists of evolutionarily young lineages. Highlighting localities with emphasized biodiversity in fragmented karstic microhabitats, which promote speciation and endemism, creates preconditions for further conservation management
Abstract (croatian)
Ključni korak u očuvanju biološke raznolikosti je razumijevanje njenih obrazaca uz korištenje višestrukih neovisnih pokazatelja. Ciljevi ove doktorske disertacije bili su utvrditi morfološku varijabilnost i, primjenom metode DNA barkodiranja, pružiti prvi uvid u genetsku raznolikost dviju skupina beskralješnjaka: lažištipavaca i obalčara, obje karakterizirane visokim stupnjem endemizma i kriptičnom raznolikošću. Generirani DNA barkodovi, 499 za skupinu lažištipavaca i 355 za skupinu obalčara, potvrdili su mogućnost primjene DNA barkodiranja u svrhu identifikacije uzoraka. Integrativnim pristupom otkriveno je postojanje 47 potencijalno novih vrsta lažištipavaca i šest vrsta obalčara, uključujući nedavno opisanu stenoendemsku vrstu Isoperla popijaci. Za razrješavanje taksonomskih statusa i odnosa među nekoliko vrsta i rodova u obje skupine, potrebno je prikupiti dodatan materijal. Filogenetska rekonstrukcija potvrdila je veliku genetsku raznolikost i kod lažištipavaca i kod obalčara, pri čemu je genetska raznolikost lažištipavaca u korelaciji s geomorfološkim značajkama Dinarskog krša i sastoji se uglavnom od evolucijski mladih genetskih linija. Isticanjem lokaliteta s izraženom bioraznolikošću u fragmentiranim krškim mikrostaništima, koja potiču specijaciju i endemizam, stvaraju se preduvjeti za daljnje upravljanje očuvanjem vrsta i staništa
