Abstract

Translokacijskim pokusom 1971. godine 5 parova primorske gušterice Podarcis
siculus premješteno je s nativnog otoka Pod Kopište na otok Pod Mrčaru. Nakon 36
godina otkriveno je da je Podarcis siculus kompetitivno isključila autohtonu kršku
guštericu Podarcis melisellensis. Utvrđene su razlike u morfologiji, fizionomiji i
anatomiji između populacija Podarcis siculus na spomenutim otocima. Daljnim
istraživanjima uspoređuju se razlike u ponašanju između populacija, te je predmet
ovog rada ispitivanje bihevioralne karakteristike socijabilnost. Prethodna istraživanja
utvrđuju veću socijabilnost populacija s otoka Pod Mrčaru koji ima veću gustoću
populacije guštera. Cilj ovog rada je određivanje socijabilnosti dvije skupine guštera
Podarcis siculus uzgojenih u zatočeništvu, onih koji su stupili u socijalni kontakt s
jedinkama iste vrste i onih koji nisu. Istraživanje je provedeno testom socijalnog
izbora i testom otvorenog polja. Prvotno je testirano 70 jedinki koje su živjele
solitarno, zatim su jedinke nasumično svrstane u dvije skupine. Narednih mjesec
dana 40 jedinki je živjelo u solitarnim uvjetima, a 30 jedinki u socijalnim (s
jedinkama iste vrste suprotnog spola), te je testiranje ponovljeno. Rezultati ovog
istraživanja ukazuju na nepostojanje statistički značajne razlike u socijabilnosti
između skupina guštera Podarcis siculus, onih koji su stupili u socijalni kontakt i
onih koji nisu. Odnosno, socijalni kontakt ne utječe na povećanje socijabilnosti
guštera Podarcis siculus. Ovaj diplomski rad dio je projekta HRZZ Generaliz čiji je
cilj utvrđivanje uzroka fenotipskih razlika dvaju populacija Podarcis siculus.

Abstract (english)

In a translocation experiment in 1971., 5 pairs of Italian wall lizard Podarcis siculus
were moved from the native island Pod Kopište to the island Pod Mrčaru. After 36
years, it was discovered that Podarcis siculus competitively excluded the
autochthonous Dalmatian wall lizard Podarcis melisellensis. Differences in
morphology, physiognomy and anatomy were found between the populations of
Podarcis siculus on the mentioned islands. Further research compares behavioral
differences between populations, which is the subject of this paper examining
behavioral characteristic of sociability. Previous research has established higher
sociability of the population from the more densely populated island Pod Mrčaru.
The aim of this study was to determine the sociability of two groups Podarcis siculus
lizards which were bred in captivity, those that came into social contact with
individuals of the same species and those that did not. The research was proven by a
3-chambered sociability test and an open field maze. Initially, 70 individuals that
lived solitary were tested, and then they were randomly arranged into two groups.
Over the next month, 40 individuals lived in solitary conditions and 30 individuals in
social conditions (with individuals of the same species, but opposite sex) and testing
was repeated. The results of this study indicate the absence of statistically significant
differences in sociability between the group of lizards Podarcis siculus, those who
came into social contact, and those who did not. That is, social contact does not
affect the increase in the sociability of the lizard Podarcis siculus. This scientific
research is part of a project “HRZZ Generaliz“, which goal is to determine the causes
of phenotypic differences between the two populations of Podarcis siculus.
