Experimental virology can inform strategic monitoring for new viruses in humans

Deep-sea impacts of climate interventions Ocean manipulation to mitigate climate change may harm deep-sea ecosystems

Ecosystem-based management outperforms species-focused stocking for enhancing fish populations Habitat creation in lakes leads to higher fish abundance than the common practice of simply stocking lakes with fish.

Hundred million years of landscape dynamics from catchment to global scale

A 100-million-year simulation of Earth’s surface evolution clarifies the role of sediment transfer and accumulation on a global scale.

Based on data from four atlas projects and the Swiss Bird Index®, the changes in the distribution and population of breeding birds in Switzerland are summarised for all breeding bird species. For the three and seven decades (1990-2020 and 1950-2016, respectively), the species with a positive range or population trend clearly outnumber the others. This finding does not correspond to a frequently expressed assessment that the "bird world" in Switzerland has never been as bad as it is today. Possible reasons for the discrepancy are discussed
