🚨🦪🌊 Renewable energy in marine ecosystems may favor benthic grazers. Using Dynamic Energy Budget theory, we show pelagic grazers mature faster and spend more energy on maintenance, while benthic grazers excel at biomass production— crucial for managing renewable energy impacts.👉 tinyurl.com/4cmd8byy

Dynamic Energy Budget model for E. coli growth in carbon and nitrogen limitation conditions link.springer.com/article/10.1... #jcampubs

Estimating algae parameters can be challenging, as these multi-reserve models heavily rely on the quantity and quality of datasets. Maria J. Lagunes explored how different kinds of experimental data help reduce the uncertainty of estimates, thus increasing their identifiability and prediction power

Diogo F. Oliveira introduced a new method for initializing DEB parameter estimation at the DEB 2025 symposium. He developed a nearest-neighbor model and a neural network, achieving feasible solutions 99% of the time, aiming for faster convergence by starting closer to true species parameters.
