The University of Ljubljana, often referred to as UL, is the oldest and largest university in Slovenia. It has approximately 39,000 enrolled students.
France Prešeren was a 19th-century Romantic Slovene poet whose poems have been translated into many languages.
Bioacoustics is a cross-disciplinary science that combines biology and acoustics. Usually it refers to the investigation of sound production, dispersion and reception in animals. This involves neurophysiological and anatomical basis of sound production and detection, and relation of acoustic signals to the medium they disperse through. The findings provide clues about the evolution of acoustic mechanisms, and from that, the evolution of animals that employ them.
Matej Sternen was a leading Slovene Impressionist painter.
Camillo Rondani was an Italian entomologist noted for his studies of Diptera.
Rihard Jakopič was a Slovene painter. He was the leading Slovene Impressionist painter, patron of arts and theoretician. Together with Matej Sternen, Matija Jama and Ivan Grohar, he is considered the pioneer of Slovene Impressionist painting.
Ivan Grohar was a Slovene Impressionist painter. Together with Rihard Jakopič, Matej Sternen, and Matija Jama, he is considered one of the leading figures of Slovene impressionism in the fin de siecle period. He is known by his landscapes and portraits. He was also an established guitarist and singer.
Matija Čop, also known in German as Matthias Tschop, was a Slovene linguist, polyglot, literary historian and critic.
Avgust Černigoj, also known in Italian as Augusto Cernigoi, was a Yugoslav-era Slovenian painter known for his avant-garde experiments in Constructivism.
Matija Bravničar was a Slovenian composer.
IvanRegen was a Slovenian biologist, best known for his studies in the field of bioacoustics.
The Slovenian Museum of Natural History is a Slovenian national museum with natural history, scientific, and educational contents. It is the oldest cultural and scientific Slovenian institution.
Janko Kos is a Slovenian literary historian, theoretician, and critic.
Matija Jama was a Slovene painter. Together with Rihard Jakopič, Ivan Grohar and Matej Sternen, he is considered among the best representatives of Impressionism in the Slovene Lands.
Matija Škerbec, was a Slovene Roman Catholic priest, political figure, and writer.
Mitja (Demetrij) Brodar was a Slovenian paleontologist. He was a son of Srečko Brodar, a pioneer of the study of the Paleolithic period in Slovenia. In the sixties and seventies of the 20th century Brodar, together with France Osole, was leading the Paleolithic research in Slovenia.
Cicadetta montana is a species of Cicadetta found throughout Europe and in parts of Asia.
Angela Boškin was the first professionally trained Slovenian nurse and social worker in Yugoslavia. After training in Austria, she worked as a military nurse during World War I. At the end of the conflict, with her housing and work permits made invalid, she was transported to the new Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, where she became the first public health nurse. Designing programs to teach basic courses in maternity and childcare, Boškin was able to reduce infant mortality rates. She founded and served as the head of the first nursing association of Slovenia.
Biotremology is the study of production, dispersion and reception of mechanical vibrations by organisms, and their effect on behavior. This involves neurophysiological and anatomical basis of vibration production and detection, and relation of vibrations to the medium they disperse through. Vibrations can represent either signals used in vibrational (seismic) communication or inadvertent cues used, for example, in locating prey. In almost all known cases, they are transmitted as surface waves along the boundary of a medium, i.e. Rayleigh waves or bending waves. While most attention is directed towards the role of vibrations in animal behavior, plants actively respond to sounds and vibrations as well, so this subject is shared with plant bioacoustics. Other groups of organisms are also postulated to either actively produce or at least use vibrations to sense their environment, but those are currently far less studied.
Frej Ossiannilsson was a Swedish entomologist who specialized in Auchenorrhyncha, and is known also for discovering vibrational communication of insects. He is considered a pioneer of biotremology for work on behavioural and anatomical basis of vibrational communication.
