Abstract
Lonjsko Polje is one of the largest and the best preserved flood plains in Europe. Periodical flooding of this area occurs mostly during spring and autumn, and water stays on the ground for more than 100 days. These hydrological conditions provide high habitat diversity with specific ecological factors and represent interesting research objects. Field research for this paper was performed from April to November 2004 on two locations; one flooded and one non-flooded meadow. At both the sites, spider fauna and difference in species composition were determined.
