1. A new wildlife monitoring app in Slovenia : a pilot evaluation of data quality and useŽiga Velkavrh, Luka Duniš, Boštjan Pokorny, Hubert Potočnik, Elena Bužan, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Wildlife monitoring is crucial for successful conservation and management of wildlife populations. To support modern wildlife monitoring approaches in Slovenia, we developed SRNA, a nationwide citizen science appli- cation that collects additional metadata on several terrestrial vertebrate species. The app is designed for two groups of citizen scientists, hunters and other nature observers. To foster learning, it features a photo-based wildlife identification quiz and species identification guides. This pilot study evaluated app use and data quality with two aims: (1) to assess users’ ability to identify wildlife species from photos, focusing on taxa expected to be challenging to identify, and to test whether identification accuracy varies across mammal groups; (2) to analyse wildlife observation data submitted through SRNA. Users were successful in identifying several distinctive species but had some difficulty distinguishing between certain mustelids, and between golden jackal and grey wolf, indicating priorities for targeted educational campaigns. Biology-related educational background facilitated identification of mustelids and, to a lesser extent, canids. In its first year, SRNA collected 1633 observations via 742 reports, predominantly of European roe deer. Hunters and nature observers contributed complementary data: differences were observed not only in the number of reported species and amount of data they provided, but also in reporting patterns across biogeo- graphic regions, reporting rates, and the average delay time between encounters and submissions. This study demonstrates that SRNA provides promising complementary data for wildlife monitoring, but also highlights data quality limitations (biases and verification issues) that must be taken into account when using SRNA data.

2. Exploring social interactions on the Adriatic networkŽiga Velkavrh, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This paper explores social interactions on the Adriatic network consisting of six countries surroundingthe Adriatic Sea. Using game theory, we analyze how three well-known classes of 2x2 strategic games, namely Prisoner’s dilemma, anti-coordination and coordination games, would be played on the Adriatic network. We determine all Nash equilibria, i.e., steady states, and obtain two main results. First, anti-coordination games on the Adriatic network always induce multiple (4, 5, 7 or 12) Nash equilibria that vary with payoffs and may differin efficiency. Second, coordination games on the Adriatic network have only trivial equilibria, unless a specific condition on payoffs is met, in which case two new equilibria emerge. Our findings may be of great interest for policy makers and other scholars interested in maritime pollution control and other water-related problems, as well as biodiversity conservation, as they indicate at which maritime borders (anti)coordination issues and resulting inefficiencies may arise. Knowing that, one may give special attention to the critical maritime borders and take extra care there, thus helping to prevent potential catastrophic events. Finally, our study can also be used for academic purposes, e.g., in classroom, to demonstrate how to perform a complete Nash equilibrium analysis on some real-world network which has a relatively simple structure.
