Mountain proglacial landscapes are characterized by pronounced topographic heterogeneity that generates sharp environmental gradients and microreliefs over short distances, shaping the distribution of...

While there have been occasional positive developments and a slowdown in biodiversity loss since the turn of the millennium, the overall state of biodiversity in Switzerland remains inadequate. These ...

Nature’s contributions to people (NCP) are essential for human wellbeing, yet most assessments still rely on land-cover indicators that overlook how b…

Area-based conservation remains the principal strategy for preserving biodiversity, yet current planning approaches inadequately consider two critical…

Choosing the appropriate scale for measuring environmental predictors is needed for accurately modelling species distributions. This need is becoming increasingly important with the use of high-resol...

Antoine Guisan and Marco Keiluweit, both professors at the Faculty of Geosciences and Environment at UNIL, are featured on the prestigious list of the most cited scientists of 2025, compiled by Clariv...

Scientific Data - SDMapCH: a Comprehensive database of >7,500 modelled species habitat suitability maps for Switzerland

Parmi les nouveaux subsides de recherche financés par le FNS, 35 projets de la FBM (UNIL-CHUV-Unisanté) ont été retenus.

Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche chang...

N-SDMs are key tools to develop untruncated regional climate change forecasts of species distributions at fine resolution over restricted extents. While several N-SDM approaches were proposed, there ...

Détail des formations universitaires proposées à la Faculté des géosciences et de l’environnement de l’Université de Lausanne.

Biodiversity conservation relies on knowing where species are and thrive. Due to major knowledge gaps in the distribution of biodiversity across the globe,

Our findings reveal the extensive impacts of climate change on a major semiaquatic group in the world's largest tropical wetland. Although the current PA network in the Pantanal and surroundings safe...

Fundamental questions about Earth’s biodiversity like ‘how many species exist?’, ‘where are they found?’ and ‘why are they...

RE-BD AR2024, the 2024 Assessment Report on Renewable Energy and Biodiversity, addresses the critical balance between expanding renewable energy (RE) and better protecting biodiversity in Switzerland,...

The increasing online availability of biodiversity data and advances in ecological modeling have led to a proliferation of open-source modeling tools. In particular, R packages for species distributi....
