Pleistocene Small Mammals from Some Karstic Fillings of Slovenia - Preliminary Results

Abstract

Članek poroča o odkritjih nahajališč pleistocenskih drobnih sesalcev v kraških zapolnitvah v Sloveniji. Najdena favna glodalcev je sestavljena iz predstavnikov arvicolidov, muridov in v manjši meri tudi kritecidov. V polnilu enega nahajališča pa so najdene le gliride. Določenih je šest različnih vrst lipotiplanskih insektivorov. V jamskih sedimentih so določene kosti netopirjev, ki pripadajo drugim vrstam kot žive danes v jami. The discovery of Pleistocene small mammals in karstic fillings of Slovenia is reported here. The rodent faunas collected there are mainly composed of arvicolids, murids and to a lesser degree of cricetids, although in one filling only glirids have been recorded yet. Six species of Lipotyphlan insectivores have been identified. A cave filling has yielded bats which belong to species different of those which occupy the cave to date.
