How does the eastern distribution limit of #plants in the European #Alps look like? The #Schneeberg 🏔️ (2076 m) in #Austria near #Vienna is a great place to find out! The often isolated occurrences must have been better connected to the other populations in the past.

#Pulsatilla #vernalis, lady of the snows❄️, last weekend in the 🇨🇭Alps above treeline at c. 2250m🏔️. Early flowering in alpine spring with overwintering leaves next to Crocus albiflorus and #Ranunculus #kuepferi, and phenologically variable from early flowering to #postfloral #elongation.

80 years after #WW2 I stumbled across #Parietaria #pensylvanica in #Berlin. Thought to be escaped from botanical garden after bombings (or brought by 🇺🇸🪖?) it’s now well established on this #urbanbiodiversity #island 🏝️ but hasn't spread much further! #bioinvasions floraweb.de/php/artenhom...

🔉Version 2.0 of our #KISSMig #Rstats package for #SpeciesMigration modeling is now live on #CRAN. 🎉 Together with Dominik Landolt we boosted performance by implementing parallel computing—making this simple dynamic #SDM faster than ever. Learn more about KISSMig here 👉 purl.oclc.org/wsl/kissmig
