Forest dormouse Dryomys nitedula (Pallas, 1778) - Rodentia, Mammalia - in YugoslaviaKryštufek, Boris (Avtor) sesalcizoologijapolhiJugoslavijaThe area of the forest Dormouse Dryomys nitedula in Yugoslavia mostly coincides with the principal mountain massifs (the Alps, the Dinaric Alps, the Šar-Pindic and the Carpatho-Balcan mountain regions), whereas in Macedonia it lives also in the lowland. The vertical range of the localities is between 60 and 2000 m. In the territory of Yugoslavia two subspecies were identified: D. n. intermedius (the Alps, the Northern Dinaric Alps) and D. n. ravijojla (Macedonia). They differ from each other by the braincase height er bullae which is larger in the subspecies ravijojla. Forest dormice from Herzegovina, Montenegro and Kosovo display signs of translation between the two subspecies. Areal drevesnega polha Dryomys nitedula se v Jugoslaviji sklada z glavnimi gorskimi masivi (Alpe, Dinaridi, Sarsko-Pindsko in Karpatsko-Balkansko gorovje), medtem ko živi v Makedoniji tudi v nižavju. Višinski razpon nahajališč je med 60 in 2000 m nadmorske višine. Na ozemlju Jugoslavije prepoznamo dve podvrsti: D. n. intermedius (Alpe, severni Dinaridi) in D. n. ravijojla (Makedonija). Razlikujeta se po višini lobanje z bulami. Večja je pri podvrsti ravijojla. Drevesni polhi iz Hercegovine, Črne gore in Kosova kažejo znake prehoda med obema podvrstama.Prirodoslovni muzej Slovenije19852015-12-30 12:01:45Znanstveno delo56311sl
