  • Plant Taxonomy and Phylogenetics
  • Botany and Plant Ecology Studies
  • Botany, Ecology, and Taxonomy Studies
  • Plant and animal studies
  • Plant and fungal interactions
  • Species Distribution and Climate Change
  • Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies

Frequent co-authors who have collaborated with Jürg Stöcklin include Christian Sailer, Ueli Grossniklaus, Hang Sun, Bo Song, and Simone Tiberi. These collaborations reflect a strong interdisciplinary approach, integrating various expertise within the plant sciences and ecology fields.

Their publications have appeared in a range of scientific journals, indicating a broad engagement with botanical and ecological research communities. Common publication venues include:

  • BAUHINIA - Zeitschrift der Basler Botanischen Gesellschaft
  • Frontiers in Plant Science
  • Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society
  • Scientific Reports
  • BMC Biology

Selected recent papers authored or co-authored by Jürg Stöcklin are:

  • Global warming pushes the distribution range of the two alpine 'glasshouse' Rheum species north- and upwards in the Eastern Himalayas and the Hengduan Mountains (2022, Frontiers in Plant Science)
  • Ultraviolet screening increases with elevation in translucent bracts of Rheum nobile (Polygonaceae), an alpine 'glasshouse' plant from the high Himalayas (2020, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society)
  • Dynamics of apomictic and sexual reproduction during primary succession on a glacier forefield in the Swiss Alps (2020, Scientific Reports)
  • Apomixis and genetic background affect distinct traits in Hieracium pilosella L. grown under competition (2021, BMC Biology)
  • A second Renaissance of herbarium-based research, almost five centuries after their invention (2023, BAUHINIA - Zeitschrift der Basler Botanischen Gesellschaft)

Jürg Stöcklin's research explores the interplay of environmental factors such as climate change on plant species distribution and behavior, including mechanisms of reproduction and adaptation in alpine regions. Their work contributes to understanding ecological patterns relevant to species' responses to environmental shifts and biodiversity conservation.
