Thanks
@matthholden.bsky.social
! The good thing about being the first talk of a conference is that everyone thinks it’s the best talk so far

Math enviro conferences are wild because one minute you’ll chat with someone about how Nemo comically misrepresented the East Australian Current, and the next you’re learning that hot showers are killing the planet (hot water systems make up 10% of Australia’s energy consumption!)

Our new paper shows that generalised ecosystem population models are tragically bad at predicting conservation outcomes:

@cailanjs.bsky.social
Did we miss something? Is this impossible to predict? What does this mean for conservation planning?

Calibrated Ecosystem Models Cannot Predict the Consequences of Conservation Management Decisions
This study evaluates ecosystem models calibrated to time series data from experimental microcosms. Although multiple parameter sets fit the data well, the models fail to predict future dynamics, resp...

In true academic style, I'm finishing my new years resolutions just before due date. The ideas behind this paper have been my passion project since day 1 of my PhD, and I'm pleased to announce that it's finally published!
