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...

Our framework expands the view from simple 3-species loops to n-species, multi-level cycles (like Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock and beyond 🦎🖖). Check out the full paper: esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... @oscar-godoy.bsky.social @langa71.bsky.social

Finally! Here is our perspective on why cooperation maximizes diversity and how it promotes additional coexistence mechanisms that do not occur under competition journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1... This is a hard topic with strong opinions... Thanks @asn-amnat.bsky.social for publishing it! 🧵👇

La iniciativa CICERON del @csic.es nos ha servido a @oscar-godoy.bsky.social y a mí para aprender mucho (incluida la gestión de la transferencia institucional), especialmente por las ganas de todos los entes implicados de activarse para el cambio ecosocial.

Ayer el @ipe-csic.bsky.social acogió en su sede en Jaca un Itinerario Cicerón centrado en el reto de la conservación y restauración de la naturaleza. Asistieron la vicepresidenta Adjunta de Transferencia de Conocimiento del @csic.es Ana Castro y la delegada del CSIC en Aragón Mª Jesús Lázaro

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!

Honored to have this paper selected by ASN as the best paper of 2024. Amazingly led by @lili-buche.bsky.social with my long-term mate of adventures @oscar-godoy.bsky.social We had some good fun building the mesocosms!

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!
