New paper out in Ecology Letters! “The Imbalance of Nature: The Role of Species Environmental Responses for Community Stability” 📖 Read it here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... We tried to answer the question: What drives community stability in fluctuating environments?

AI in research, tips and tricks from the retreat of my and Frank Pennekamp's research groups. Nothing too revolutionary, but we found it useful to share. Happy to hear any of your tips and tricks! @pennekampster.bsky.social @fancescopolazzo.bsky.social thetrophiclink.org/posts/2025-0...

Are you interested in predator-prey interactions and movement ecology? I am looking for a PhD student to work on the project "A mechanistic theory of functional responses: zooming into movement behaviour to understand and predict predator-prey interactions" euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/342402.

swissuniversities and Wiley are in a no-deal situation. Suggestions include to consider alternatives to Wiley, and to reconsider review activities for Wiley. Very sad---some great ecology and evolution journals are with Wiley. www.swissuniversities.ch/en/topics/op...

Happy to announce that JF Arnoldi (Theoretical and Experimental Ecology Station, CNRS, France) will present the next #ResponseDiversityNetwork Seminar, Wednesday 26th Feb 15.00 CET. "Linear functional ecology: Rethinking species contributions to ecosystem functions" Zoom link via rb.gy/3pf8dh

All are invited to sign this petition in support of saving the free-flowing Tagliamento—the King of Alpine rivers—from fragmentation by two proposed barriers www.freetagliamento.org/it_IT/home-e...

Read our new paper in EcologicalMonographs esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... We introduce a framework on how to partition species contributions to ecological stability in disturbed communities based on species absolute change in biomass and relative change in proportion.

Starting here in the best way: presenting a new paper. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Have a look at our new proposed way of calculating response diversity when multiple environmental drivers change simultaneously.
