Very proud of this project! @oscar-godoy.bsky.social @langa71.bsky.social

What can spatial patterns tell us about tumor growth or dryland ecosystem resilience? Are there bridges and opportunities between these apparently distant disciplines? This wednesday June 17 we'll have the 3rd Session of Eco-Onco Exchange, with @joshuabull.bsky.social and Benoît Pichon !

New paper out today in Ecology Letters! We use Modern Coexistence Theory and Metabolic Theory to get general predictions for the effect of temperature on competition. Led by brilliant postdoc @kaleighedavis.bsky.social and @joeybernhardt.bsky.social, with Po-Ju Ke, Patrick Thompson and Mary O'Connor

Our paper on transient dynamics and nonlinear fitness it out in Ecology! We present a matrix framework that links pulse (one-time) and press (sustained) perturbations, showing how transient nonlinearities and demography shape fitness. (1/3) esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

📅Next week, our online seminar speaker is Harman Jaggi (Princeton) @harmanjaggi.bsky.social: ⭐Noise and determinism across systems: insights from Trinidadian guppies and Soay sheep⭐ Zoom link: iite.info/seminar/ Global times: www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/f... Open to all - see you there!

Our new study is out, in which we used a gradient design to show how light and nutrients interactively shape the thermal traits of phytoplankton.🌊🌞🌡️🥗 Long story short: Interactions do matter - and #thermaltraits differ in their #resource-dependency. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

📣Tomorrow! 👇👇 Do join us for Lisa Buche's online talk: ⭐Moving beyond linear interactions in community ecology⭐

New paper out! How do species coexist through invasion cycles (like the classic✂️🪨📄) in nature? We introduce a general framework linking the structure of species interactions to the emergence of complex ecological cycles esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

📅Next Tuesday, our online seminar speaker will be Lisa Buche @lili-buche.bsky.social (ETH Zürich), presenting: ⭐Moving beyond linear interactions in community ecology⭐ Zoom link: iite.info/seminar/ Global times: www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/f... Free and open to all - we hope to see you there!

Excited to announce Eco-Onco Exchange — a virtual seminar series bridging mathematical ecology and oncology. Each session pairs two speakers from each field around a shared theme, followed by joint discussion. First three sessions coming soon! Register here docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

📣We will be back soon with a new series of online theory seminars! As ever, free and open for all via Zoom. Follow us on here, or join our email list (iite.info/seminar-emai...) for details. In the meantime, all our past talks are on Youtube: www.youtube.com/@theoretical... See you there!

Looking forward to the Modern Coexistence Theory workshop tomorrow. Please repost :)

My 1st thesis chapter is out in #EcologicalMonographs! 🎉 With @curromolina.bsky.social @ibartomeus.bsky.social How is #climatechange reshaping plant–pollinator timing (phenological overlap) in Mediterranean ecosystems? Can #biodiversity buffer mismatches? Find out here👇 dx.doi.org/10.1002/ecm....

Join us for an @smtpb.bsky.social workshop on Modern Coexistence Theory. We'll cover mathematical foundations, the theory of partitioning, and data-based applications. Featuring @swatipatel.bsky.social, Nick Kortessis, & Lauren Shoemaker. Zoom link here: smtpb.org/event-6426026

📅Our speaker next week is Violeta Calleja-Solanas @violetacalleja.bsky.social (Estación Biológica de Doñana): ⭐The effect on stability of the temporal variability of species interactions⭐ Zoom Link: iite.info/seminar/ Global times: www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/f... Open to all, see you there!

📅 Mark your calendar! Join us next Monday, Nov 17 at 11 AM ET, for our next seminar with Dr. Violeta Calleja Solanas (Doñana Biological Station) on time-varying ecological interactions. See you all there!✨

So proud of this paper 🥳 Could not have done it without the amazing team along side me: Lauren Shoemaker, Lauren Hallett, Peter Vesk, @oscar-godoy.bsky.social and @mmayfieldecology.bsky.social

Ecology faces an accumulation of models but not an accumulation of confidence. Our new paper w/ Jonathan Levine www.nature.com/articles/s41... in @natecoevo.nature.com introduces a rigorous test rooted in queueing theory to falsify inadequate models and build confidence in useful ones.

Join us for our first seminar on Friday: Ryan Chisholm will present: A unified theory of niche assembly and dispersal assembly in community ecology Sign up here to receive the zoom link forms.gle/WSnJS3bNK1b4mxE59 For those in Australia note that 1pm AEST will be 2pm in Melbourne.

The ASN Early Career Investigator Awards recognize outstanding work by 4 researchers who have received their doctorates in the past 3 years. Recipients include: Ashwini Ramesh directory.natsci.msu.edu/directory/Pr... 3/N

Woaw I feel truly honoured to receive this award. Studying species interactions alongside @oscar-godoy.bsky.social and @ibartomeus.bsky.social is what inspires my academic journey and the most fun! So proud of us!

We have an excellent line up of speakers for the next few months! Starting with Ryan Chisholm in March and then @akshitg.bsky.social @hyejinpark.bsky.social @barnesecodiv.bsky.social. Fill in this google form to receive announcements forms.gle/7vEiUQKJqeUL...

We are excited to announce our new seminar series highlighting research on population biology and theoretical ecology from academics and post-grads based in the Asia-Pacific. We have a great line up of speakers for the next few months. Stay tuned for more info!

@msevenello.bsky.social and I presented our PhD theses yesterday under the support of @mmayfieldecology.bsky.social. Very special day indeed 🥳🍻

📣Join us next week for the first talk of the year! Virginia Domínguez-García (EBD-CSIC, Seville) will present: ⭐Complex Networks to Understand Persistence in Empirical Plant-Pollinator Communities⭐ Zoom link: iite.info/seminar/ Global Times: www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/f... See you there!

New Preprint 👀 we tested 4 density dependent functions to quantify species interactions and include facilitation 📉 :sigmoid emoji:

[new paper] EuPPollNet: A European Database of Plant-Pollinator Networks onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Another wonderful paper of @joseblanuza.bsky.social making open more than >1500 networks and looking at their properties. Come for the data, stay for the cool figures!

Thrilled to share our new paper in @asn-amnat.bsky.social "Toward a more dynamic metabolic theory of ecology for predicting climate change effects on biological systems" www.naturl.link/9jpy6M It's one of several papers in an upcoming special feature "Demystifying Fundamental Theories in Ecology"

Yayy 🌱🪲🐝🐌- A list of stellar ecologists and myself showed that (1) species interactions can be summarised at the guild level, except for a few critical species, (2) they occur along a continuum from positive-to-negative, and (3) they have relatively weak strength except between plants!

Proud to be part of this list, along side so many great papers! 🌼
