| Very valuable papers concerning malacology of the Adriatic Sea deal, for the most part, with the systematics, whereas there is a substantial number of papers with very scarce information on the ecology of individual species. Since I intended to provide some more comprehensive data on individual species, rather complex bionomic and biocoenological research was undertaken aiming to study the taxonomy and the ecology of the Prosobranchiata group. Present research covered different biotopes of the northern, middle and southern Adriatic, both in the shallow coastal and deeper open littoral, and hard and mobile bottoms. Material was collected in two ways: 1) Scuba diving or direct collection and observations; and 2) an indirect method of collection of samples by... |
