📅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! 🌼
