On our way back from #IMC2022. Great conference with lots of great contributions! Delegation from #unibas with Livio Bätscher, Erika Hiltbrunner and Christian Körner

Thrilled to share our study on growth dynamics of #alpine plants under #ClimateChange in Nature Communications. We show that advanced snowmelt leads to early start but also early senescence in the most frequent grassland in the #Alps.

A #macroevolution -ary role for chromosomal fusion and fission in #Erebia #butterflies👉Hannah Augustijnen 's second thesis chapter as preprint #bioarxiv biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… | Great work with great collaborators, including Butterfly Diversity & Evolution Lab Vlad Dinca Livio Bätscher giorgi iankoshvili

In our latest manuscript, we examine the spatial & temporal distribution of livestock damages caused by wolves in Europe in recent years: tinyurl.com/bdhsfwdy 🐑🐏🐐 🐕 👀🐺 #Europe #wolves #biodiversity #monitoring #sheep

Finally on my way to Albuquerque! Looking forward to #Evol2023 👀

The term 'growing season' is widely used in ecological research, but lacks a well-defined concept. Here our attempt to identify the different facets of what people may call a growing season Ecology Letters: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/el…

How does one of the most common alpine grasslands in Europe respond to changing snowmelt and recurrent summer drought? Find out with our 7-year study just published in Journal of Ecology : besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13… (1/n)

First chapter of my PhD at University of Basel Agroscope out now in New Phytologist! 😊🎊 doi.org/10.1111/nph.19… We show that post-drought compensatory growth in perennial #grasslands is driven by #soil and not plant #drought-legacy effects.

After publishing my PhD chapter (DOI: doi.org/10.1111/jbi.14…), the R package I developed is now available on CRAN: CRAN.R-project.org/package=ElevDi…. It computes the vertical distance to local climatic treelines and is robust against spatial uncertainties. #RStats

1/7 I’m pleased to announce that my main PhD Chapter on the impact of chromosomal fusions and fissions on speciation of Erebia butterflies is now out in Science Advances: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 🥳🦋✨
