🍱 Quick reminder that lunch with Hanna Meyer happens this Wednesday, 12PM CET on Zoom! Find the link, abstract and more infos on the Lunchbox Models seminar series here: www.yomos.org/lunchbox-mod... #ecology #evolution #science #academia #seminar #modelling #lunchboxmodels #ecomodels #phdlife

And there comes the next big YoMos announcement!!! <- Yes, I'm THIS excited

🍱 Lunchbox Models seminar series is launching next Wednesday! A few thoughts on how this fits into the trajectory of @yomoseco.bsky.social and the community we aim to build there: www.yomos.org/post/launchi... #academia #science #ecology #Phdlife #phdchat #community #lunchboxmodels

📣 Check out the new schedule starting next week for the ONLINE LUNCHBOX MODELS EVENTS hosted by our AKs @yomoseco.bsky.social and Computational Ecology! It is an online seminar series all about ecological modelling & career insights!! More infos: www.yomos.org/lunchbox-mod... 📺 See you online!

How many #birds are killed by #cats in Canada? Between 19-197 million! This is the main result from my first chapter of my PhD thesis just published in Avian Conservation and Ecology. ace-eco.org/vol20/iss2/a... @gowelizabeth.bsky.social @ryannorrissci.bsky.social 1/6

📣Tomorrow our next series of online seminars restarts: Chris Klausmeier (MSU) will present: ⭐Microbial cross-feeding: coexistence and collapse, spatial patterns and population cycles⭐ Free and open to all: Zoom link: iite.info/seminar/ Global Times: www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/f...

This has been in the making for a while now: Excited to share #LunchboxModels ! Also, the motto was the perfect excuse to get creative with the website and poster 🍔 Sorry if you're hungry now ~ please share this widely and join the seminar!

📣We will be back soon for a new series! 🎉 Our first speaker will be Chris Klausmeier @chrisklausmeier.bsky.social on Tuesday 21 October: ⭐Microbial cross-feeding coexistence and collapse, spatial patterns and population cycles⭐ As ever, free for all to join! Link+details: iite.info/seminar/

Another study from within the @yomoseco.bsky.social Eco crew was published just a few days ago: Johannes Apelt & Volkmar Liebscher: "Tikhonov–Fenichel reductions and their application to a novel modelling approach for mutualism" doi.org/10.1016/j.tp...

What a good start to the week: My first paper just got published in Oikos! 🌱 "Metacommunity connectance and emergent patterns drive diversity via spatial eco-evolutionary feedback" with Christian Guill and Toni Klauschies doi.org/10.1002/oik.... #ecology #phdlife #phdchat

Check out the graphical abstract for a paper recently published in Ecological Modelling. I have papers published in Ecological Modelling. Never again, I guess.

Meet fellow Young Modellers in Ecology at the GfÖ Annual Meeting in Würzburg next week! 👯‍♀️ 🌍 Whether you've been to a YoMos workshop or not, you're very welcome at our gettogether on **Tuesday, September 2nd, starting from 7:30 PM in room 2.004!** #yomos #gfö2025 #ecology #phd #conference #science

What a great crew at the 2025 #YoMos #workshop! If you want to read a #recap of what the workshop was like for us (including more photos!), please check out this #blogpost on our homepage: www.yomos.org/post/yomos-2... @gfoesoc.bsky.social #ecology #modelling #phd #phdchat #community #germany

Kick-off meeting for 2026 is happening in 2 weeks! Get in touch now if you want to get involved 🦊

Now that I've somewhat recovered from @yomoseco.bsky.social - which was fantastic, amazing, inspiring, overwhelming, exhausting, and so full of love and #community - I wrote a short recap of what the week was like from my perspective. Go check it out here: www.yomos.org/post/yomos-2... Thx, bye 🌱

Microbial communities can harbor many species that do not coexist in pairs, yet can coexist in the full community. Here we provide the mathematical foundations of emergent coexistence, and explain why it can't be predicted from pairwise tests www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The idea for this seminar series is the product of a conversation at the @ecolsocaus.bsky.social conference. We were inspired by great online seminars like the @iite-ecotheory.bsky.social and @theobiophysics.bsky.social but wanted to have something in our time zone. Now the idea has come to life 🤩

Typical introduction of a network science paper: “Several methods have been proposed for this inverse problem including correlation thesholding [52], phrenology [53], leeches [54], bloodletting [55], Bayesian inference [56], loud banging [57], edge dowsing [58], ...”

Organising a (conference-style) #workshop @yomoseco.bsky.social : Getting all kinds of heavy #admin tasks done like coming up with a budget plan or a schedule for the week; but also constantly forgetting that I have to formally apply and send an abstract just like everybody else 😅 #ecology #phd

Just finished a fun workshop on 'Social Media in Science', so here's my PhD research topic as emojis: (🌱-🦆🦆)---(🌱🌱-🦆) Thanks to @crocodiledunphd.bsky.social and @gkalinkat.bsky.social and to @aquacosm-ecr.bsky.social for hosting this! #phdchat #academicchatter #scicomm #dowestillusehashtags

‼️ This week is your last chance to apply for this year's YoMos workshop 🦊 You can register here: www.yomos.org/next-workshop

#YoMos are on Bluesky now! Apply for their workshop, it's very nice (and I am 100 % biased) :)

📢 NetSci 2025 Speaker announcement: Sonia Kéfi, CNRS research director & Chair of the department CHANGE at ISEM & External Professor at the Santa Fe Institute "How ecological systems respond to stress" #NetSci2025

We did a thing! If you're into #Turing patterns, #eco-evo-feedbacks or #network #science, you may want to take a first look at the preprint of my first PhD chapter :) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Since #YoMos is not on here, you will get the advertisement from me :D if you are a #Bachelor/ #Master/ #PhD level student of #ecological #modelling or you supervise any, this is perfect! You get to present your project in a conference-like setting, but your audience are your peers! -> www.yomos.org

@ngawiss.bsky.social sammelt übrigens in fantastischer Aufarbeitung Ausführungen darüber, was im deutschen akademischen System schiefläuft und wie es eigentlich sein sollte/könnte. Fühle mich und meine fellow DoktorandInnen da sehr gesehen 🧡 danke für Eure Arbeit! mittelbau.net/argumentatio...

Doctoral / PhD students in Germany tend to sit between chairs - many of them are both (part time) employed at the University, but are also paying to be enrolled as a doctoral student. You would think that therefore they probably get the best of both worlds, but the exact opposite is often the case.
