Eco-climatic conditions and biodiversity of Orlovača cave

Abstract

Within specific ecological condition of Orlovača cave existed living world failing rich and large in number. They are adapted on absentia light as well as the other characteristic ecology parameter. On an occasion of researching and organizing Orlovača cave, several representative organisms were discovered. They have been convalescent at the Faculty of Biology in Belgrade.
