V letu 2021 smo na Laboratorijskem polju Biotehniške fakultete v Ljubljani spremljali sezonsko dinamiko marmorirane smrdljivke. Poskus je potekal med marcem in novembrom na treh mikrolokacijah, kjer smo postavili po eno feromonsko vabo. Prva mikrolokacija leži na robu vrtnarskega oddelka, druga med poljedelskim delom in sadovnjakom, tretja pa ob go...
Estimation of changes in abundances and densities is essential for the research, management, and conservation of animal populations. Recently, technological advances have facilitated the surveillance of animal populations through the adoption of passive sensors, such as camera traps (CT). Several methods, including the random encounter model (REM),...

The Indo-Pacific king mackerel (Scomberomorus gutatus) is one of the catches of drift gill nets in the waters of Tarakan, north Kalimantan, and makes an important contribution to fisheries production in the region. In order for its use to be sustainable, it is necessary to make efforts to manage fish resources based on studies of fisheries and thei...

Lasolo Bay is a part of water in North Konawe Regency that connects the Lasolo River and sea waters. Several activities from Nickel mining activities that have been carried out around the bay have caused the physical condition of Lasolo Bay to change, namely an increase in turbidity and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) in marine waters. TSS and phytopl...

This study recorded the abundance, characteristics, and distribution of microplastics (MPs) in the surface water in the Banda Sea and Seram Sea. The Banda Sea has known for its complex bathymetry with the shape of a basin in the west and a Sahul Shelf in the east. Due to its unique topography, it controls the water mass exchange in Indonesian water...

People’s interests and needs, as well as biological characteristics of species, determine human perception and interaction with biodiversity. Thus, both cultural and biological factors should be considered to understand biocultural salient species. We studied the cultural and biological traits that influence bird salience for an indigenous communit...

Knowing the number of individuals in a population is fundamental for the sustainable management of exploited marine resources but estimating this parameter is often extremely challenging, especially in large, highly mobile and dispersed populations. Abundance estimation traditionally relies on multiple data types that include the relationship betwe...

Information on freshwater mussel behavior in the sediment is scarce worldwide, especially in the Amazon. Laboratory experiments were used to measure the responses of the single mussel species Castalia ambigua in relation to combinations of two co-occurring different morphotypes (Morphotype I with an elongated shell and Morphotype II with a rounded ...

Although plastics are being recycled worldwide, a significant amount of plastic is still directly exposed to the environment and, in the end, forms microplastic (MP) particles (

Introduction Mollusks play a significant role in marine ecosystems and have economic value for aquaculture. Sometimes, unexpected and unexplained mortalities among mollusks have been described. The role of potential pathogens such as viruses remains unknown due to the lack of molluscan cell cultures, which is one of the major drawbacks to determini...
