Functional homogenization of bumblebee communities in alpine landscapes under projected climate change

Pradervand, Jean-Nicolas ; Pellissier, Loïc ; Randin, Christophe F. ; Guisan, Antoine

In: Climate Change Responses, 2014, vol. 1, no. 1, p. 1

Background: Bumblebees represent an active pollinator group in mountain regions and assure the pollination of many different plant species from low to high elevations. Plant-pollinator interactions are mediated by functional traits. Shift in bumblebee functional structure under climate change may impact plant-pollinator interactions in mountains. Here, we estimated bumblebee upward shift in...

Essays in macro-finance

Lopez, Pierlauro ; Trojani, Fabio (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2013 ; 2013ECO014.

This doctoral thesis explores the boundary between macroeconomics and finance by focusing on three questions: (i) the measure of the cost of aggregate uncertainty at different horizons and over time; (ii) the role of nominal rigidities in explaining stock-bond yield comovement; (iii) the role of stock prices in the conduct of monetary policy. The objective is to identify some of the...

High uncertainty in 21st century runoff projections from glacierized basins

Huss, Matthias ; Zemp, Michael ; Joerg, Philip C. ; Salzmann, Nadine

In: Journal of Hydrology, 2014, vol. 510, p. 35–48

Glacier response to a changing climate and its impact on runoff is understood in general terms, but model-based projections are affected by considerable uncertainties. They originate from the driving climate model, input data quality, and simplifications in the glacio-hydrological model and hamper the reliability of the simulations. Here, an integrative assessment of the uncertainty in 21st...
