The BIOME team is on its way to Sardinia! 🚢🌳 Following campaigns in Switzerland & Ecuador, our PhD students are kicking off a new field season studying Mediterranean holm oak forests together with Alberto Tarroni. Proud to partner with FoReSTAS & colleagues from the University of Padua. 👇

Exkursion: Arnika oder Gamswurz? Die WSL-Bestimmungsapp Species-ID kann hier helfen. Auf Wanderung mit App-Entwicklern Manuel Popp und Niklaus Zimmermann können Sie den unveröffentlichten Prototypen ausprobieren: festivaldernatur.ch/event?nid=90... @nezimmermann.bsky.social l @manupopp.bsky.social

#PostDocAlert! PhD in #Ecology and expertise in macroecology, functional ecology, processing & analysis of high-volume data sets, and spatial ecology? Our Macroecology group is offering a #PostDoc position in biome biogeography: apply.refline.ch/273855/1858/... #Sciencejobs

This week, I had the opportunity to present my poster on trends and drivers of wildfire occurrence across different biomes at #TIBS2026 in Aarhus 🔥 @tibsaarhus2026.bsky.social

📱🌱 Plant identification apps are booming – but which one is the best? And how reliable are the results? 🤔 Our researchers collected over 5,000 photos of 560 Swiss plant species from 85 habitat types and tested the most popular apps.🔎 Here are the findings: shorturl.at/lD0Cl

Plant species ID providers have been facilitating the work of citizen scientists and experts for years. 🌿 They can also flag suspicious records in large databases and reduce validation effort. 🔍 But how do providers differ and which one shall I use? 🤔 Find out here 👉🏽 doi.org/10.1016/j.ec...

Last week, we gathered for a 3-day retreat in the stunning medieval castle of #Burgdorf🏰✨ – an inspiring setting and a fantastic opportunity for deep discussions, strategic planning, vison alignment, team building and lots of fun with hiking and VR game.❤️🥾🎮 Excited for what’s to come!🚀

We are excited to be a part of the Winter School & Symposium 2025: Harnessing #MachineLearning for Breakthroughs in Plant and Environmental Sciences @ethzurich.bsky.social !🤖🌱 Looking forward to inspiring discussions and collaborations!💡🚀 More information & registration: shorturl.at/PqT9c
