1. Occupancy of artificial shelters by European tree frog (Hyla arborea) in Škocjanski zatok Nature Reserve : a non-invasive sampling method in ecologically sensitive habitatsMartin Senič, Matic Jančič, Jure Jugovic, Kevin Rečnik, Sara Zupan, Martina Lužnik, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Monitoring amphibians in non-breeding habitats is constrained by low detectability and potential disturbance to sensitive ecosystems. We tested the effectiveness of artificial shelters - PVC pipes - as a non-invasive method for monitoring the European tree frog (Hyla arborea) outside the breeding season in Škocjanski zatok Nature Reserve (Koper, Slovenia). Over three years (2022–2024), we installed 40- and 50-mm diameter shelter pipes at 24 sites and conducted regular inspections. A total of 338 encounters of the focal species were recorded, with frogs of all sizes using the shelters. Overall shelter occupancy declined across years, possibly reflecting a combination of factors including reduced recruitment, vegetation changes, demographic fluctuations, and weather conditions. A statistically significant trend was observed, with narrower (40-mm) shelter pipes having 1.6 to 1.7 times more captures than wider (50-mm) ones, despite no significant difference in the body size of frogs occupying each type. By using PVC artificial shelters, we greatly enhanced the detectability of H. arborea in the Škocjanski zatok Nature Reserve compared to classical monitoring methods such as acoustic surveys or dip-netting. Importantly, a non-invasive approach using artificial shelters minimized the risk of disturbance to breeding and migratory birds, which is essential in areas with high avifaunal conservation value. Our results support the broader use of artificial shelters for monitoring arboreal amphibians in ecologically sensitive areas and suggest future research should explore finer-scale shelter design to improve detection and ecological interpretation across life stages.

4. Monitoring of sandflies (Diptera: Psychodidae) and pathogen screening in Slovenia with habitat suitability modelingVladimir Ivović, Peter Glasnović, Sara Zupan, Tea Knapič, Tomi Trilar, Miša Korva, Nataša Knap, Urška Glinšek Biškup, Tatjana Avšič-Županc, Katja Adam, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Sandflies (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae) are important vectors of pathogens, including Leishmania parasites and phleboviruses, but their distribution and seasonal activity in Slovenia have not been sufficiently studied. This study presents a comprehensive three-year (2020–2022) surveillance programme aimed at assessing the diversity of sandfly species, their distribution, seasonal dynamics and potential role as vectors of pathogens. A total of 1,240 sandflies were collected at 43 sampling sites across Slovenia, identifying Phlebotomus papatasi, P. neglectus, P. perniciosus and P. mascittii. The highest abundance and species diversity were observed in the Mediterranean and Karst regions. Seasonal activity peaked in July, with population fluctuations influenced by climatic conditions. Molecular analyses for Leishmania parasites and phleboviruses showed no positive results, indicating a low prevalence of pathogens in the sampled populations. Predictive habitat models indicate that environmental factors, particularly temperature and precipitation, play a decisive role in the spread of sandflies. While P. mascittii has the largest ecological range, its vector competence remains uncertain. The results provide important insights into the ecology of sandflies in Slovenia and emphasize the need for continuous surveillance in the context of climate change and emerging vector-borne disease risks.

5. Occupancy estimation using indoor air quality data : opportunities and privacy implicationsDomen Vake, Niki Hrovatin, Jernej Vičič, Aleksandar Tošić, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) has long been a significant concern due to its health-related risks and potential benefits. Readily available air quality sensors are now affordable and have been installed in many buildings with public buildings taking center stage. The dynamics of IAQ are commonly studied in relation to different materials used in construction, building design, room utility and effects on occupants. However, besides what the sensors were designed to measure, it is possible to infer other information. In this paper, we present a Machine Learning (ML) model that predicts the presence of people in the room with an accuracy as high as 93 % and the exact number of occupants with 2.17 MAE. We validate our proposed approach in the use-case of an elementary school in Slovenia. In collaboration with the elementary school in Ajdovščina, 8 air quality sensors were placed in classrooms and air quality parameters (VOC, CO, Temperature, and Humidity) were monitored for 6 months. During the monitoring period, school staff collected anonymous data about classroom occupancy. The indoor air quality data was paired with external weather data as well as occupancy to train the model. Moreover, we compare our approach with other commonly used ML approaches and provide results related to our use case. Finally, these results highlight the privacy concerns related to structural monitoring due to the established ability to infer potentially sensitive information.
