Sažetak
Resanovačke Pećine Caves belong to Vijenac tectonic unit, extended in Northwest–Southeast direction, north of Dinara Mt. in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ledenica or Resanovačka Ledenica Cave is located on NW part of Resanovac polje (field) on the slopes of Stražbenica Mt. The cave was named “Ledenica” (Ice Cave) due to the ice in entrance chamber, which usually remains till the summer. The Cave contains one big fossil channel abt. 700 m long, till 40 meters wide and 25 meters high, particularly rich of sinters. Recent biospeleological research of Ledenica Cave, conducted in June 2010 and May 2011, has been organized in collaboration of Biospeleological Society in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BIOSPELD), Croatian Biospeleological Society (CBSS) and representatives of Municipality of Bosansko Grahovo. Main intention of research was to find specimens of Hadzinia karamani (Hadži, 1940) (Opiliones: Nemastomatidae), described from Resanovačka Ledenica Cave. During the second research in May 2011 we found one adult and two juvenile specimens of Hadzinia karamani. This is the first finding of this species after August 8th, 1935 when famous biologist Stanko Karaman found one adult male of new genus and species. Our research included physical prospecting of cave channels, microclimate measurements, cave fauna collecting and photo-documentation with cave animal’s macro photography. Terrestrial habitats are dominant with average temperature of 8°C, while aquatic habitats are presented with small and enhanced water pools. Around 25 taxa of cave fauna were detected: Gastropoda (Zospeum sp.), Isopoda (Alpioniscus sp.), Acari (Eschatocephalus sp.), Araneae (Parastalita sp., Troglohyphantes sp., Meta sp.), Pseudoscorpiones (Chthonius sp., Neobisium sp.), Opiliones (Hadzinia karamani, Nelima troglodytes), Diplopoda (Brachydesmus sp.), Collembola (Pseudosinella sp. and other), Coleoptera (Parapropus sp., Duvalius sp., Laemostenus sp.), Orthoptera (Troglophilus sp.), Diptera (Speolepta sp.), Lepidoptera (Triphosa dubitata) and representatives of bat fauna Chiroptera (Rhinolophus sp.). Also representatives of cave fungi have been found, as parasites on moth Triphosa, most probable belong to genus Cordiceps. During preliminary analyses, in collected material some taxa, new for science, were detected. Plentiful photo documentation, including photographs in situ was realized. Investigations of Ledenica Cave, but also the other caves in Resanovac region will be continued as cabinet expert work and further speleological and biospeleological research.
