Why time is important in #SDM. @ZurellLab review how #phenology & demographic stages can affect #niche estimates. Explicitly considering temporal components of the niche improve #mechanistic understanding👇 Niklaus E Zimmermann WSL Umweltforschung @wslresearch.bsky.social besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…


Die Weltwoche Dr. Philipp Gut Ausser dass das ich das nicht gesagt habe. Die EU will Verbrenner verbieten. Das ganze Interview geht um Lösungen, um Anreize, um Lenkungsabgaben, um Innovation. Aber ich weiss, das interessiert Dr. Philipp Gut Die Weltwoche nicht.





🌿#Cloud_forests🌱, nestled in the #mountains "Goldilocks zone" with constant water supply and moderate temperatures, are some of the most #biodiversity rich ecosystems on Earth.

Higher resolution #climate data boosts 🌨️#snow cover❄️accuracy in models by up to 52%! This shows the importance of fine-scale climate in #climatechange impact studies, especially in 🏔️mountainous regions like Switzerland.

Using #CHELSA #climatedata we assess how 21st-century #climatechange impacts #hydrology in high-mountain catchments across #CentralAsia, providing critical insights for managing water resources in a region facing significant #climate_risks. hydrosolutions GmbH link.springer.com/article/10.100…


Using #CHELSA-TraCE21k #paleoclimate data to analyze pollen records from Slovenia and Croatia we show how #climate shifts and human activity shaped the vegetation of the Northern Dinaric Karst over the last 10,000 years.

Despite island radiations being well studied, the modes of #Speciation are not fully understood. Here the most diverse Canary Island plant, Aeonium, is investigated for allopatric & sympatric speciation! academic.oup.com/evolinnean/adv… The Linnean Society of London Dr. Dirk Karger Kay Lucek Cristina Branquinho

🌏 Honored to participate in the DMZ Open ECOPEACE FORUM in Goyang, South Korea , where we explored how ecology can play a vital role in fostering peace on the Korean Peninsula. #EcoPeace #DMZ #ClimateResilience #Biodiversity #KoreanPeninsula WSL Umweltforschung @wslresearch.bsky.social WSL Dynamic Macroecology


Had an excellent exchange with the National Assembly Futures Institute (NAFI), the think tank of South Korea’s National Assembly. Together, we aim to build resilient, sustainable future scenarios for Korea. #NAFI #FutureofKorea #NationalAssembly WSL Umweltforschung @wslresearch.bsky.social WSL Dynamic Macroecology


🌍 Exciting day at #SeoulNationalUniversity! 🇰🇷 Dr. HyeJin Kim and I shared our vision for Korea's #NatureFutures, exploring how land use, economic development, #biodiversity, & #ClimateAction can shape a sustainable future. WSL Umweltforschung @wslresearch.bsky.social, WSL Dynamic Macroecology,
