Sažetak
Within the mountain ranges, the intensity of changes of various environmental conditions can significantly affect survival adaptations for the whole variety of living organisms. The aims of this study were: (i) to compare carabid species composition according to their body size, wing forms and habitat affinity along elevation gradient (ii) to compare body length within the species Abax parallelepipedus (Piller & Mitterpacher, 1783) and Carabus caelatus Fabricius, 1801 and (iii) to test if the results are in concordance with Bergmann's and Allen's rules. Pitfall traps (5 per plot) were placed on eleven plots along the elevation gradient on Učka Mountain. Traps were operative 61 during May-October in 2008. Results show decrease in body size within carabid communities along the elevation gradient. Brachypterous species increase within the carabid communities on higher elevations, except of the mountain top where they decrease. Share of smaller species increases from lower to higher elevations. The highest proportions of brachypterous species were recorded half way along the elevation gradient. Negative correlation of the body size within the species A.parallelepipedus and C. caelatus was recorded along the elevation gradient. Obtained results were not in compliance neither with Bergmann's nor Allen's rule.
