Invited presenters P. Trontelj, I. Kos and B. Sket presented in the frame of the 'Darwin's year' (1) in the International Conference Bioscience and Society: Biodiversity - Diversity of Living Systems (in Ljubljana); (2) in the 'Biology evening' (in Ljubljana); (3) in the international conference Darwin’s Living Legacy (organised by British Council in Alexandria, Egypt).
B.04 Guest lecture
COBISS.SI-ID: 26256089All members of the group are teachers or collaborators of the undergraduate and/or the postgraduate education in biology. They are transferring their findings and experiences from the research into the education, while the mentioned theses often represent parts of the research programs. When publishing the results, the (co-)authorship of collaborating students is always strongly considered.
D.10 Educational activities
COBISS.SI-ID: 2202447R. Kostanjšek is the general and responsible editor. The journal for field biology publishes original contributions with the field investigations as the background and/or are contributing to the knowledge of fauna and flora in Central and Southeastern Europe. Contributions may be published as scientific articles, as short contributions, or field notes respectively. The journal is filling up the gap within the scientific literature concerning biodiversity in Slovenia. Within a couple of years it became the central Slovenian means for the quick mediation of floristic, faunistic and ecological fi

COBISS.SI-ID: 102784768Key population viability factors were found by modeling population dynamics of the reintroduced Dinaric lynx population. Besides ensuring genetic diversity, we consider adequate prey species management to be the most effective manner of ensuring population viability.The article shows an important methodological advance that allows efficient genotyping of a large number of noninvasive genetic samples. This is important for Slovenia as it helps making credible monitoring of the brown bear population more reliable, faster and more cost-effective.
F.01 Acquisition of new practical knowledge, information and skills
COBISS.SI-ID: 2143055The application of scanning electron microscopy for investigation of biological samples needs special preparation methods which are very often sample-specific. Preparation procedures vary in the duration of steps and in the amount of metal introduced into the sample during preparation in order to make sample conductive. In our study we found out that the best preparation method for scanning electron microscopy of surfaces and subsurface structures includes introduction of substantial amount of osmium into the tissue. Samples prepared in such way were conduction and allow investigated of surfac
