Are you interested in ecology and looking for an internship in the Swiss Mountains? We are looking for a motivated candidate to explore with us the effects of novel plant consumers on plant communities, and work with us in the BugNet in Davos. m.refline.ch/273855/1613/pu…

Come work with us! #PostDoc to work with the #FATESmodel/@CLMscience and detailed field measurements to improve representations of #dwarfshrubs, in the BetweenTheFjords Lab group w/ us, Rosie Fisher etal. Deadline May 1st! jobbnorge.no/en/available-j…

Resonating piece in @nature on the great intrinsic value of fieldwork & connecting with our study systems: doi.org/10.1038/d41586…

I agree with every word Brian McGill writes. Academic publishing is a mess, we are publishing too much, and letting for-profit publishers drive us into the ground. And we’re all complicit in this!

Abstract submission deadline is extended for #meb2024! 🥳🥳🥳 Spread the good news! Abstract submission is continued until 15.5.2024 for the Microclimate Ecology and Biogeography conference 26.-29.8.2024 in Helsinki, Finland. Submit abstracts at meb2024.com Welcome!

Very grateful for a wonderful first #teaching experience w/ the new lab on the Ecology Group Basel - Sabine Rumpf field course during the last two weeks! Motivated students, a stellar team, great #mountain views, actual #science projects - what more could you possibly ask for?😊 (c)📷1: Maya Schrödl

Testing is over, equipment packed - stoked to kick off the 2024 #fieldwork season! Stay tuned for tons of new soil #microclimate data from across the #Alps. Now on the way to 🇦🇹 to start sigging down loggers! Ecology Group Basel - Sabine Rumpf 🍁

Proximal #microclimate improves ecological predictions! Read a new collaborative paper from the SoilTemp led by Dave Klinges doi.org/10.1111/geb.13…

Not spatial resolution, not temporal resolution, but climate proximity is what matters. Indeed, in a new paper we show a 247% (!) improvement in ecological model performance using proximal microclimate data. I break this concept down for you here ⬇️ the3dlab.org/2024/06/28/pro…

The second batch of #alpine #microclimate loggers is in the ground! We had a fantastic week in the stunning landscapes of the ##SwissNationalPark 🏔🌼🌱🐐🦅🇨🇭 Next up: back to 🇦🇹 for vegetation relevées! Ecology Group Basel - Sabine Rumpf #ParcNaziunalSvizzer

New 1st author paper: improving climate data for ecology requires improving climate "proximity", out now in Global Ecology and Biogeography: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

Delighted (and exhausted) to have the first 132 #vegetation relevées done!✅️ We had a great 2 weeks in 🇦🇹🏔 - amazing species, views & company 🐐 Now back to the 🇨🇭 National Park to install the last soil temperature loggers. Ecology Group Basel - Sabine Rumpf 🍁

Thank you everyone MEB2024 for a fantastic conference week! So grateful for this supportive & innovative community. Kiitos to the organisers for facilitating - see you all in Montpellier in 2026 🌴 Meanwhile, stay tuned for exciting Arctic/alpine microclimate research 🙂🗻🪻🌿❄️

A last successful push wrapped up our #vegetation relevées in the #SwissNationalPark! That's 255 m2 recorded in SNP, next to our soil #microclimate loggers. Some late flowers & lots of deer around, just before the first snow. Only 12/399 plots left! 🌿🪻🏔🇨🇭 Ecology Group Basel - Sabine Rumpf 🍁
