Abstract		We documented 18 caves and two karst wells that have 20 or more stygobites and troglobites. Crustacea dominated the aquatic fauna. Taxonomic composition of the terrestrial fauna varied, but Arachnida and Insecta together usually dominated. Geographically the sites were concentrated an the Dinaric Karst (6 caves). Sites tended to have high primary productivity or rich organic input from the surface, be large caves, or have permanent groundwater (phreatic water).
Summary		Dokumentirala sva 18 jam in dva kraška vodnjaka, iz katerih je znanih 20 ali več vrst troglobiontov in stigobiontov V vodni favni preladujejo raki. Taksonomski sestav kopenske favne je raznolik, vendar pajkovci in žuželke skupaj navadno prevladujejo. Največ takšnih jam (šest) je v Dinarskem krasu. Nadpovprečno so zastopane jame z lastno primarno produkcijo ali bogatim vnosom hrane s površja, obsežne jame in jame, ki vključujejo tudi freatsko plast.
