Abstract
The upper course of the Neretva River, located in the rugged landscapes of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), hosts a unique and largely unexplored ecosystem with significant biodiversity. This study aims to document the spider (Araneae) species inhabiting this region, including the Neretva’s wider catchment area, Nevesinjsko polje, and the Vranjača cave. Using various sampling methods, we identified 84 spider species from 72 genera and 22 families, with 50 (60%) species reported in BiH for the first time. Notable findings include the abundant Piratula knorri (Scopoli, 1763) (Lycosidae), and cave-dwelling species such as a region endemic Parastalita stygia (Joseph, 1882) (Dysderidae) and Lepthyphantes leprosus (Ohlert, 1865) (Linyphiidae). Our results emphasise the importance of this understudied region for spider biodiversity and underscore the need for ongoing research to enhance faunistic knowledge and inform conservation efforts in BiH.

NASLOV: Doprinos poznavanju pauka (Araneae) gornjeg toka rijeke Neretve u Bosni i Hercegovini / APSTRAKT: Gornji tok rijeke Neretve, smešten u neravnim pejzažima Bosne i Hercegovine (BiH), domaćin je jedinstvenih i uglavnom neistraženih ekosistema sa bogatim biodiverzitetom. Cilj ove studije je da dokumentuju vrste pauka (Araneae) koje naseljavaju ovaj region, uključujući šire područje sliva Neretve, Nevesinjsko polje i pećinu Vranjaču. Koristeći različite metode uzorkovanja, identifikovali smo 84 vrste pauka iz 72 roda i 22 porodice, od kojih je 50 (60 %) vrsta prvi put prijavljeno u BiH. Značajni nalazi uključuju brojnu populaciju vrste Piratula knorri (Scopoli, 1763) (Lycosidae), kao i vrste koje žive u pećinama, kao što su endemske vrste: Parastalita stygia (Joseph, 1882) (Dysderidae) i Lepthyphantes leprosus (Ohlert, 1865) (Linyphiidae). Naši rezultati naglašavaju značaj ovog nedovoljno proučavanog regiona za biodiverzitet pauka i podvlače potrebu za kontinuiranim istraživanjima kako bi se unapredilo znanje o fauni i naglasili napori za očuvanje prirode u BiH. / KLJUČNE RIJEČI: biodiverzitet, očuvanje prirode, istraživanje faune, inventarizacija vrsta, pauci, Bosna i Hercegovina

Title:Prispevek k poznavanju pajkov (Araneae) zgornjega toka reke Neretve v Bosni in Hercegovini
Abstract:
Zgornji tok reke Neretve, ki leži v razgibani pokrajini Bosne in Hercegovine (BiH), je edinstven in v veliki meri neraziskan ekosistem z visoko biotsko raznovrstnostjo. Namen prispevka je dokumentirati vrste pajkov (Araneae), ki naseljujejo to območje, vključno s širšim porečjem Neretve in Nevesinjskim poljem ter jamo Vranjača. Z različnimi metodami vzorčenja smo ujeli 84 vrst pajkov iz 72 rodov in 22 družin, pri čemer je bilo 50 (60 %) vrst prvič zabeleženih v BiH. Med zanimivejšimi najdbami gre omeniti vrsto Piratula knorri (Scopoli, 1763) (Lycosidae), ki je bila najštevilčnejša vrsta v obrežnem delu Neretve, in redke vrste, ki živijo v jamah, kot sta Parastalita stygia (Joseph, 1882) (Dysderidae) in Lepthyphantes leprosus (Ohlert, 1865) (Linyphiidae). Naši rezultati potrjujejo biotsko raznovrstnost pajkov v regiji in potrebo po nadaljnjih favnističnih raziskavah v BiH.
