Understanding past biodiversity dynamics is key to project what may happen to our ecosystems in the future. So I am really excited to share this new study in which I have been involved, published in Science today! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Mapping fine-grained spatiotemporal distributions for thousands of plant #species, using #AI deep neural networks @WSL_DME @WSL_research allows for the detection of seasonal variations and dominant #plant species with unpreceeded accuracy. nature.com/articles/s4146… #florID
In the TipESM project we are trying to understand climate tipping points in the Earth system. For that purpose we are offering a 2 year PostDoc postions on in Tipping points in mountain ecosystems Apply here: apply.refline.ch/273855/1622/pu…
This is mind-blowingly bad.Most up-to-date study on Atlantic Ocean currents system shows signals of collapse.This could happen in 2025-2095 with 95% probability. Land to grow wheat may drop by half. Winter temperatures in North Europe could drop between 10 and 30 °C. 1/🧵
New study: the Atlantic overturning circulation AMOC “is on tipping course”. The paper by Dutch colleagues adds more weight to recent warnings, such as the OECD Climate Tipping Points report of 2022 and the Global Tipping Points report published 2023. realclimate.org/index.php/arch…
Just in time for the peak of this year's #mushroom season, we tested the prototype of our new mushroom identification tool in the field! 🍄We're thrilled with the accuracy—it can distinguish over 1,000 #species and has provided many good results.🎉 shorturl.at/jY4Xr
Après les larmes, la colère. Contre la violence inouïe déchaînée contre notre ami par un homme et son arme par destination. Contre la relativisation du meurtre en mode "oui mais les cyclistes", tournure indifférenciée et déshumanisante, presque un début de justification. 1/5

Our WSL Biodiversity Seminar Series starts again tomorrow! Our opening speaker is Daniel Wegmann @unifrBiology. He'll present three analysis tools that are robust to variation in the sampling process. Join us in person or online! biodiversitycenter.wsl.ch/en/events/deta…
🚨 Job alert 🚨 With Romain Millan we are advertising a 2-year fully funded postdoc position to work at @IGE_Grenoble - @UGrenobleAlpes on physics-informed machine learning modelling of glaciers. Details and application here: emploi.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr/job-offers/pos…

While there are thousands of experiments measuring feeding rates of consumer-resource pairs, only some dozens include more than one resource species. Time to catch up! Read our new paper on multi-species functional response experiments doi.org/10.1111/2041-2…
🚨 Preprint alert 🚨 Excited to share this review paper, after a massive effort led by @SapienzaFacu. We hope this will help advance the fusion of scientific models and data through differentiable programming. 👇 arxiv.org/abs/2406.09699

I often hear Americans & rich brits justify buying oversized, polluting vehicles by claiming they need them because they live in the "countryside". I call bullshit, Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to introduce, the Citroen C15⬇
