diplomsko delo

Abstract

V diplomskem delu smo se posvetili problematiki taksonomije na otoku Pagu živečih (pod)vrst grške kornjače, Testudo hermanni. Želeli smo predstaviti problematiko, morfološke taksonomske znake in lastne rezultate, do katerih smo prišli s terenskim delom na otoku Pagu julija 2009 in aprila 2010. Beležili smo več podatkov, saj smo opazovali tudi dnevno aktivnost, izbiro habitatov in poškodbe oklepov. Najprej smo opisali osnovno vrsto in povzeli morfološke določevalne znake, ki naj bi določali dalmatinsko kornjačo. Nadalje smo se posvetili poškodbam in drugim nepravilnostim oklepa. Sledijo rezultati našega terenskega dela in razprava. Najdene značilnosti smo poskusili podkrepiti in osvetliti s fotografijami najdenih osebkov. Glede na podane morfološke določevalne znake in na naše rezultate se strinjamo s Fritz-em (2001), ki dalmatinske kornjače, Testudo hermanni hercegovinensis ne opisuje kot samostojno podvrsto. Zaradi drugih najdenih morfoloških lastnosti dopuščamo možnost, da je dalmatinska kornjača varieteta podvrste Testudo hermanni boettgeri, torej Testudo hermanni boettgeri var. hercegovinensis. V kolikor gre za podvrsto, jo verjetno določajo druge lastnosti, ki niso nujno morfološke. Želve so najbolj aktivne v dopoldanskem in popoldanskem času. Veliko odraslih osebkov ima poškodbe na oklepu, predvsem na hrbtnem delu.

Secondary abstract:	This diploma thesis is devoted to the problem of taxonomy of (sub) species of Greek tortoise, Testudo hermanni, that live on the island of Pag. We wanted to present the problem, morphological taxonomic signs, and our own results, to which we have come with the fieldwork on the island of Pag in July 2009 and April 2010. We were recording several data, as we were also observing daily activities, the choice of habitat, and shell injuries. First, we described the specie and summarized morphological identification signs that should determine the Dalmatian tortoise. Then, we focused on injuries and other irregularities on the shell. Furthermore, the results of our fieldwork and discussion are given. We tried to substantiate and highlight the found characteristics with photographs of the found specimens. According to the given morphological identification signs our results we agree with Fritz (2001) who does not describe the Dalmatian tortoise, Testudo hermanni hercegovinensis, as an independent subspecies. For other found characteristics, we allow the possibility that it is the locality of subspecies Testudo hermanni boettgeri. Turtles are the most active in the morning and afternoon. Many adult specimens have shell injuries, especially at the back part.
