At our science #retreat yesterday we discussed applications & pitfalls of various #AI tools for our work, from writing to species ID'ing. A great opportunity to learn from each other, develop a common understanding, & connect across the team! And to go out for some birdwatching during lunch break 🦆

New co-authored paper out! Even if plant #biodiversity trends seem stable over time, they might not be over shorter timescales and across habitats. What's more, these trends can be detected even without exact resurveys. Thanks to Gabriele Midolo for leading this effort!

Happy Birthday #GLORIA! 25 years monitoring mountain summit flora, and counting 🏵️🏔️ It was so nice to celebrate together at @imc2025.bsky.social in Innsbruck. Here's to many more decades! 📷 Feline Peters

*Job alert* We have a 4-year #PhD position open! The project investigates spreading potential & impact of non-native plant species in mountain ecosystems using fieldwork, experimental & data-driven approaches. Starting date: 04/2026. More info here: jobs.unibas.ch/offene-stell... Come work with us!

Still time to apply for the open #postdoc position in our team! Note that the link has been updated: jobs.unibas.ch/offene-stell...

We had a great time at #Jungfraujoch during our yearly team outing! Got a fascinating tour of the meteorological & research station (est. 1931), and really enjoyed the trip with the iconic railway (construction finished already in 1912!). We'll have to come back for a better view, though 😉🏔️❄️🧪🚞

Thank you to everyone who presented in our #microclimate change session today @imc2025.bsky.social! @jlembrechts.bsky.social, @niittynen.bsky.social & I were very happy with the contributions & discussions. Great to see microclimate getting more attention in high-elevation ecosystems 🏔🌡❄️💧

*Job alert* We have a 5-year postdoc position on #mountain non-native species & #macroecology in our group @unibas.ch. Great opportunity to join us! Details here: jobs.unibas.ch/offene-stellen/postdoc-position-in-mountain-macroecology/6c5a8906-354f-43c6-bc9b-1156d21725a5 Please share!

New paper! Want to measure #mountain #microclimate during wintertime but loggers keep breaking? Here's an easy, cost-effective method to help loggers survive snow & visits by curious animals🏔️❄️🦌🌡️💧 Nicely led by Raphael von Büren & @mizeh.bsky.social. 📄 doi.org/10.1111/jvs.... @slfdavos.bsky.social

We are very excited to announce that our group leader Sabine Rumpf has been awarded an ERC Starting Grant for her #GloNoMo project to investigate the global status, trends, drivers and impacts of non-native plant species in mountain ecosystems 🎉 @unibas.ch Details on the project 👇🧵

*Job alert* Come work with us! We have a fully funded 4yr #PhD position in #alpine & #Arctic plant #ecology available in our group @unibas.ch. The project includes fieldwork & connects to other ongoing projects on species range shifts & microclimate. jobs.unibas.ch/offene-stell... Please repost! 🌐🧪

*Job alert* Within our recently funded collaborative project focusing on assisted migration of #mountain #plant species, we are looking for a #PhD candidate based at ETH Zürich. For further details and instructions, see the job ad: jobs.ethz.ch/job/view/JOP... Please repost! 🧪🏔️🌿

#ClimateChange is altering #Arctic vegetation - maybe not (yet) in terms of species diversity, but large changes in community composition are already visible. Crucial study & a massive effort by our friends from #ITEX & #TeamShrub - congrats! 🧪🌐
