How can we identify #coexistence in #ecology? There are at least three common approaches (structural stability, eigenvalues, and invasion), and each investigates different aspects of community dynamics (equilibria, locally stable equilibria, and global stability). 1/2

My department (Biology, at Uni Graz in Austria) is hiring a tenure-track Assistant Prof. in Soil Biology. A broad range of backgrounds are welcome, ranging from ecology to biogeochemistry. For more details, see: jobs.uni-graz.at/en/jobs/633d... (1/2)

Neat new study on the criteria used to hire/promote faculty: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Lots of differences among countries. E.g. a stronger emphasis on publications in richer places, and more emphasis on other things (e.g. local and public engagement) in lower income regions.

We are hiring a postdoc in my lab @colorado.edu to work on this NSF CAREER proposal (tinyurl.com/cak8dkza) to quantify how and when global change (drought, warming) alters the role of biodiversity in ecosystem functioning. Job here: colorado.avature.net/searchhub/Jo... 1/2

2024 Climate Postdoc Fellowship at UniGraz is now open! Funds 3-month research visits for candidates who completed their PhD within the last 6 years, focusing on interdisciplinary issues related to climate change. See posting here: climate-change.uni-graz.at/en/news/clim...

Feedback loops during ecological succession - our conceptual review wonderfully led by Michiel van Breugel and colleagues from our #sDiv workshop (sUCCESS): onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

An informative article about the career, contributions, and ongoing saga of award-winning ecologist, Priyanga Amarasekare! Nice write-up from Andy Dobson and Ottar Bjornstad. doi.org/10.1002/bes2...

"Europe was not as forested as previously thought when our species arrived to the continent" This is the motto of the research P. González Sampériz from PaleoIPE twitter.com/PaleoIPE contributed to in this magnifcient work led by Elena Pearce (twitter.com/elena_pearce) science.org/doi/full/10....

Quick update: in the next few weeks, I'll be opening a call for a PhD student at Uni Graz, as part of a project on vegetation dynamics and landscape change along the Czech/Austrian border, in collaboration with P. Keil at CZU, Prague, F. Essl at Uni Vienna, and H. Skokanová at VUKOZ in Brno. 1/n

We are also hiring in Machine Learning in Biology! (also Nov 6 deadline).

10 days left to apply (Nov 6) for our search at Penn Biology for an Ecologist! Open to any area of Ecology. Link below.

Applied disturbance treatments for our Alpine DragNET site with colleagues from HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein. Can confirm that this is much better than trying to do it with a rototiller.
