In addition to plants, our Naturally team also investigates animals.
A scientific paper on the topic of agricultural and forest pests and newly introduced species in Istria entitled “The Impact of Beehive Proximity, Human Activity and Agricultural Intensity on Diptera Diversity in a Mediterranean Mosaic of Agroecosystems, with a Focus on Pest Species” was published in a special issue of the scientific journal Animals dedicated to interactions between animals in different habitats (Q1; IF: 3,231). The work was created as a result of international cooperation and teamwork of scientists from the Institute, dr. Barbara Sladonja, dr. Danijela Poljuha and Mirela Uzelac, mag. with entomologists from Italy and the Czech Republic.
