Sažetak
The main objective of this study was to determine in details the seasonal dynamics of water beetles in a single semipermanent pond in the area of Lonjsko polje Nature Park over one year period. Furthermore, we wanted to investigate the relation between the changes in assemblage composition with respect to fluctuations of pond dimensions and physicochemical properties of the pond and finally to test if the two microhabitats within the pond (deepwater vs. shoreline) significantly differ. Field survey was conducted from May to December 2004 and aquatic coleoptera were collected using semiquantitative method of sweeping D-frame pond net. Altogether, 1458 specimens of water beetles were collected. Results show seasonal differences in water beetle assemblages and indicate a significant positive correlation of Hydradephagan fauna with pond dimensions and negative correlation with conductivity and dissolved CaCO3 in water. Ttest showed that Hydradephagan abundance is significantly different in the two microhabitat types.
