Sažetak
The main goal of this research is to study the
population structure of the north-Adriatic island of Rab,
clustering analysis of the survey participants (inhabitants
from five settlements on the Rab) in relation to their
complex phenotypic characteristics (physiological,
biochemical and morphological). Another objective was
to analyze the grouping of populations on eastern Adriatic
islands, compared to their complex phenotypic
characteristics, where is a population of Rab observed as
homogeneous.The sample of participants included 601 participants
aged 18 to 75. The five subpopulations are analyzed:
Banjol with 96 participants, 157 participants with Barbat,
Rab with 109, Supetarska Draga with 100 and Lopar with
139 participants, which good represented the whole
island.Results of the assessment of biological distances
between subpopulations of the island of Rab, showed that
the most distant, for both sexes, was a subpopulation of
Rab. The other examined subpopulations according to
their morphological, physiological and biochemical
characteristics are more or less grouped into one cluster.
Results of the assessment of "biological distance" among
the population of the island of Rab as a single population
and population groups with other Dalmatian islands (that
are geographically closer or farther away), showed that
the population of the island of Rab-specific and
biologically from the other island population of the
Adriatic.Biological distances are not associated with the
geographic distances between settlements on the island,
which is consistent with historical data about settling in
different areas of land, in different periods and their
reproductive isolation during the time of their residence
on the island. The fact that Rab (with the remaining two
islands), is distinguished by its complex phenotypic
features, makes Rab the representative of the biological
isolates.
