The journal Hacquetia publishes articles on taxonomic, floristic, faunistic, phytosociological, biocoenological and palynological research. The journal is already considered a major publication in southeastern Europe. Despite the relatively short period it has been coming out it is embedded into international scientific discussions and included in some major international databases, such as EBSCO, SCOPUS, CAB, VINITI. The journal is available on the publishing house Versita’s website, where the articles can be linked to other databases through DOI codes, which facilitates online publishing.

E.02 International awards
COBISS.SI-ID: 31435821The species is one of the most threatened in Europe, protected by the Habitats Directive and the Bern Convention. In review article, the results of studies on species in Slovenia are presented (1995–2009). It is published in a special issue of journal Oedippus, which includes all European studies on this species. Within the scope of the conservation of butterflies in Europe, it is the first example of cooperation between different research groups on European level with the aim to exchange the knowledge for successful implementation of action plans for the sake of natural heritage in Europe.
F.27 Contribution to preserving/protecting natural and cultural heritage
COBISS.SI-ID: 32117037The final report dealt with four mollusc species (Mollusca, Gastropoda) from the Habitat Directive (Council Directive 92/43/EC) that occur in Slovenia: Anisus vorticulus (a snail), Vertigo angustior (narrow-mouth whorl snail), Vertigo geyeri (a whorl snail) and Unio crassus (thick-shelled river mussel). We tested the methods of field sampling and recording known to date and carried out trial monitoring for Unio crassus. We surveyed and sampled 375 locations, potential sites of Unio crassus (203), Vertigo angustior (126), Vertigo geyeri (26) and Anisus vorticulus (18).
