Next week, we'll have our 3rd Biodiversity Symposium at WSL. This year’s theme is "Communicating Biodiversity", & we’re thrilled to have 3 speakers with diverse backgrounds & perspectives @colognav @BiancaSaladin @domiwaser Join us in person or online! biodiversitycenter.wsl.ch/en/events/deta…

The Phytopathology group at @WSL_research is looking for a postdoc with experience in metabarcoding of fungi from the environment. More info: apply.refline.ch/273855/1679/pu…

We look forward to our next hybrid seminar with @AnnegretLarsen (WUR) to learn more about her interdisciplinary research into natural river systems & how it supports restoration efforts, and her case studies in Europe, Asia & South America. Join us! biodiversitycenter.wsl.ch/en/events/deta…

In our next seminar (27 Nov), @AnnegretLarsen will show how interdisciplinary research into the natural dynamics of past & present landscapes can reveal natural processes & support restoration efforts. Join us in person or online! biodiversitycenter.wsl.ch/en/events/deta…

Last month, we held our 1st Biodiversity Research Day at WSL. With 31 talks (from PhDs to group leaders), lively discussions & a full house, the event was a big success! A big thank you to all the speakers & staff who helped us with the organization. biodiversitycenter.wsl.ch/en/news/the-fi…

It's a beautiful fall day in Zurich—the perfect time to share that we just joined the app with the blue skies (same handle). We'll be migrating gradually there, so join us for all the updates!

Many countries, including🇨🇭, are expanding #RenewableEnergy to reach #NetZero2050 ⚡. However, renewable energy infrastructure can impact #biodiversity 🌱, which in turn affects climate outcomes. 🌡️ What’s the solution? 🤔 👇

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

Join our seminar today (in-person or online)! @JacquelineOehri will present ‘Reconnect’, a multi-indicator, multispecies framework for rapid connectivity assessments at fine spatial resolutions across large ecoregions. biodiversitycenter.wsl.ch/en/events/deta…

Last month @julie_gwen gave an inspiring talk at our seminar series. If you missed it (or want to watch it again), the recording is now available: youtu.be/OYzFlerFKu8?fe…

We're looking forward to our next seminar! @JacquelineOehri will present a multi-indicator, multispecies framework for rapid connectivity assessments at fine spatial resolutions across large ecoregions, and how it can be integrated with species distribution models. More info...⬇️
