Ecosystems and Landscape Evolution
@ELE_ETHWSL
Ecosystems and Landscape Evolution Lab @ETH_en @wsl_research. We study the processes shaping spatial diversity from genes to ecosystems.
We had the great opportunity to share our work on developing an autonomous robot fish named "Eve" to explore the ocean and help protect marine ecosystems with @cnni #TechForGood. You can vote for us to be featured in a special episode here: edition.cnn.com/science/marine…
Curious about how #alpine valleys shaped the genetic population structure of #chamois across #Alps over millennia and their management? @FlurinLeugger et al summarized the results of the chamois project & its conservation implications, available in DE/FR: tinyurl.com/chamoisflyer
This summer, postdoc Virginie Marques spent a month in Greenland for the last fieldwork session of the GreenFjord project, aiming to understand the effect of glacier melt on marine biodiversity from plankton 🪼 to fish 🐟 @VirginieMarque2
"Happy to take part in the Biodiversity Research Day 2024 at WSL. Thanks to the Biodiversity Center for organising" @WSL_research
🌿"Update on invasive Japanese beetle project in the canton of Ticino"🌳 🌳We have successfully completed this year’s field season for our invasive Japanese beetle project, aiming to develop rapid detection solutions for this quarantine organism. #Biodiversity #Ecosystem
We are finishing off this week with yet another fantastic PhD defense by @DoKirschner, on using #environmentalDNA to study patterns of riverine fish diversity. #Congratulations #PhDone 🎉🥳
Congratulations to @YaquanChang on successfully defending her thesis on the geological controls on plant #biodiversity in the #HengduanMountains. #PhDone #CelebrateSuccess
Congratulations to @LiuYi_eco for successfully defending his dissertation on the global drivers of mountain plant biodiversity today! #PhDone
What lives in ponds? Detecting amphibians by their DNA - New publication by @FlurinLeugger @ELE_ETHWSL wsl.ch/en/news/what-l…
Excited to share our latest paper! 🐸 Using #CRISPR-Dx tech, @FlurinLeugger and colleagues detected endangered amphibians from #environmentalDNA faster & more efficiently than traditional methods. #eDNA Read more: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/17…
🚨 Exciting news! Martina Lüthi was part of the team interviewed in this @CNN article about a revolutionary #eDNA-collecting robot #fish 🐟🤖! Dive into the future of #EnvironmentalScience with this cutting-edge tech 🌍🔬 #ProudTeam edition.cnn.com/science/switze…

New paper from our group! Looking at climatic shifts in the last 250 million years, @chulio_rog et al. find that the vegetation response may have strongly delayed the climatic recovery after past CO2 inputs! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

🌊 #eDNA reveals fish composition turnover in the coral reefs of West Indian Ocean islands. Combining eDNA inventories and #spatialmodeling provides insights into species #habitat preferences related to distance-to-reef gradients at a small scale. 🐟doi.org/10.1002/ece3.1…
🏔️ #Bhutan's #Himalayas are home to elusive snow leopards, Pallas's cats, and more. 🐾 With #eDNA, we can now detect these rare species through river water samples, revealing the hidden biodiversity of this region. 🌿🧬 worldwildlife.org/stories/what-a…
