DOI: 10.1002/2016jd025621
Abstract: We analyze a large amplitude mountain wave event, which was observed by a ground-based lidar above New Zealand between 31 July and 1 August 2014. Besides the lidar observations, ECMWF data, satellite observations and raytracing… read more here.

Observations of the Breakdown of Mountain Waves Over the Andes Lidar Observatory at Cerro Pachon on 8/9 July 2012: MOUNTAIN WAVE BREAKDOWN
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of Geophysical Research"
DOI: 10.1002/2017jd027303
Abstract: Although mountain waves (MWs) are thought to be a ubiquitous feature of the wintertime southern Andes stratosphere, it was not known whether these waves propagated up to the mesopause region until Smith et al. (2009)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1290
Abstract: PREMISE Divergent selection due to environmental heterogeneity can lead to local adaptation. However, the ecological and evolutionary processes of local adaptation that occurs across multiple regions are often unknown. Our previous studies reported on the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4913
Abstract: Abstract The elevational alpha biodiversity gradient in mountain regions is one of the well‐known ecological patterns, but its beta diversity pattern remains poorly known. Examining the beta diversity and its components could enhance the understanding… read more here.

Is the incidence of survival in interior Pleistocene refugia (nunataks) underestimated? Phylogeography of the high mountain plant Androsace alpina (Primulaceae) in the European Alps revisited

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5037
Abstract: Abstract Temperate mountain ranges such as the European Alps have been strongly affected by the Pleistocene glaciations. Glacial advances forced biota into refugia, which were situated either at the periphery of mountain ranges or in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6954
Abstract: Abstract Participatory approaches, such as community photography, can engage the public in questions of societal and scientific interest while helping advance understanding of ecological patterns and processes. We combined data extracted from community‐sourced, spatially explicit… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8650
Abstract: Abstract Uptake and use of energy are of key importance for animals living in temperate environments that undergo strong seasonal changes in forage quality and quantity. In ungulates, energy intake strongly affects body mass gain,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.1761
Abstract: Warming-induced range shifts along elevational and latitudinal gradients have been observed in several species from various taxa. The mobility and behavioral plasticity of large endothermic mammals, however, complicate the detection of climatic effects on their… read more here.

Glaciers, rock avalanches and the ‘buzzsaw’ in cirque development: Why mountain cirques are of mainly glacial origin
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Earth Surface Processes and Landforms"
DOI: 10.1002/esp.4810
Abstract: It has been proposed that most cirques are source‐area depressions of large, deep‐seated rock‐slope failures. Yet the close relation between cirques and climate is convincing evidence of the dominance of glacial erosion, rather than rock‐slope… read more here.
