Today we have Yuriy Pichugin visiting us from the @mpi-evolbio.bsky.social discussing the Evolution of informed dispersal strategies in trophic meta-communities in our #WueBiT seminars

Ascona workshop "Statistical and AI methods for multi-modal multi-scale modeling of biological systems", 28 June - 3 July. Deadline for registration Mon 16 March, 23:59 CET. There are ~10-12 places left.

For many animals, adaptation means survival. In order to learn with minimal risk, some species use safe spaces. @gokhalecs.bsky.social and Dharanish Rajendra describe the math behind this behaviour in the latest edition of @royalsocietypublishing.org. ➡️ www.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/news-and-...

Play isn’t only fun… it’s preparation for danger! Our new paper by @DharanishR in @royalsociety.org shows how protected juvenile environments boost #learning of risky behaviours via a protected early life period across some species. 🦂🦁 tinyurl.com/3w45xvz9 @cctb-wue.bsky.social @uni-wuerzburg.de

Thrilled to share our new paper with the brilliant @srishtipatil.bsky.social & @sabinenoebel.bsky.social ! 🎉 Can mate copying maintain phenotypic diversity with multiple male options to choose from? find out @ doi.org/10.1073/pnas... @dkfz.bsky.social @unihalle.bsky.social @cctb-wue.bsky.social

Many thanks to everyone who joined on Friday and made it such a memorable afternoon—we greatly appreciate the warm welcome in Würzburg! @cctb-wue.bsky.social @biologie-uniwue.bsky.social #WueBiT

Thank you to all who attended our inaugural lecture on Friday. We greatly value the interest, the collegial atmosphere and the support. @zarnack-group.bsky.social @biologie-uniwue.bsky.social #WueBiT

Don't miss out on our guest speaker Dr. Elisa Thébault and her scientific talk "Species diversity, food web structure and ecosystem stability: Bridging the gap between theory and data" More details about our Lunchbox models seminar series on: www.yomos.org/lunchbox-mod...

Thanks a lot @hyejinpark.bsky.social , @elibbyscience.bsky.social and @llizana.bsky.social for organising such an amazing meeting in the Arctic on Adaptive Mechanisms! It was brilliant to be a part of the superb program! Thank you!

A brilliant performance today by @vkulkarni.bsky.social from the group of Sylvia Cremer clearing her qualifying exam @istaresearch.bsky.social. I’m very excited to work with her in the future combining theory and experiments in social immunity.
