The Individual-based Ecology journal welcomes Dr. Marie-Christin Wimmler as our newest subject editor! She is a post-doctoral ecologist studying how forests respond and adapt to climate change. We wish her joy and success in her new role! ibe.pensoft.net/news/997

We congratulate our Editor-in-Chief Volker Grimm, who received the @gfoesoc.bsky.social Honorary Medal! He was awarded this distinction "for his outstanding and future-oriented research in ecological modelling advancing our understanding of ecological systems."

We're excited about the upcoming #IUCNcongress, where our publisher @pensoft.net t will represent Individual-based Ecology and discuss #sustainability and #conservation with major global actors! ibe.pensoft.net/news/975

Last week, IBE was represented at GfÖ's annual meeting in Würzburg, Germany by our Editor-in-Chief Volker Grimm! Ecology is at the centre of what we do and we are excited we got this opportunity to share what IBE is all about and talk to like-minded people.

Our newest subject editor, Prof. Dr. Ferdi L. Hellweger, has just joined our team! We welcome him and look forward to working with him. ibe.pensoft.net/news/963

Description of the mechanistic triangle of interactions among animal energetics, movement behaviour and species coexistence: doi.org/10.3897/ibe.... @unipotsdam.bsky.social #energetics #conservation #ecology ‪

Animal energetics, movement, and coexistence are inextricably linked. What insights emerge when we consider these processes together? In our new paper, we present a conceptual framework that integrates these domains, outlines their connections, and highlights the value of their joint study.

And what an honor to publish in the newly launched journal @ibe.pensoft.net! A massive thank you to everyone involved.

We're so excited for the annual meeting of @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social ! Our friends from @pensoft.net will be there to answer all your IBE-related questions and share more about their current and future projects!

ibe.pensoft.net/article/1463... new paper @ibe.pensoft.net

🤩New methods paper! IBASAM (Individual Based Anadromous SAlmonids Model) opens up new opportunities for research on the response of salmonid meta-populations to environmental changes, the exploration of management practices, with further developments possible. See more here: doi.org/10.3897/ibe....

I'm delighted to join the team of scientists seeking to provide a venue for agent-based modeling in ecology and conservation. Send us your models! We can't wait to read all about 'em.

We're excited to welcome ‪Kristy Ferraro as our newest subject editor! Dr. Ferraro investigates the roles of animals in ecosystem processes, with a focus on the biogeochemical consequences of large mammal activity and movement. @kristymferraro.bsky.social ibe.pensoft.net/news/921

After years of non-stop brainstorming and hard work with @alamarins.bsky.social & co, we're thrilled to present IBASAM (v3): a spatially explicit demo-genetic individual-based model for anadromous salmonids (meta)populations. @inrhttps://ibe.pensoft.net/articles.php?id=153305

and we had a great experience publishing with @ibe.pensoft.net smooth process and excellent support! #OpenAccess

🚨 Very happy to share our latest version of IBASAM, a simulation model of salmonids populations! 📖 Published in the newly created diamond journal Individual-Based Ecology @ibe.pensoft.net

New article published! ibe.pensoft.net/article/1533... in the new journal @ibe.pensoft.net

Researchers in conservation biology from all around the world will gather in Australia between June 15th and 19th for @iccb2025.bsky.social - a great chance to find out more about IBE at @pensoft.net's stand! ibe.pensoft.net/news/869

Important call: On the relevance of individual based approaches in studying climate change related responses. Also reminds me of my latest research proposal, let's see how the review for this one turns out. 🫣

🌍 What is individual-based ecology, where did it come from, and what problems does it aim to solve? A manifesto to introduce both the concept and our journal. #environment #ecology @thecowbirdlab.bsky.social doi.org/10.3897/ibe....

An individual-based model revealed the significant potential of behavioural adaptation in brown trout in mitigating environmental change threats: flexible feeding behaviour allowed virtual populations to be more resistant to climate change. blog.pensoft.net/2025/03/31/g...

Really proud to be part of this wonderful team, calling for more attention to individuals in ecological studies of global change🔎🍃♻️

🌐 "We propose a paradigm shift in ecological science, moving from simplifying frameworks that use species, population or community averages to an integrative approach that recognizes individual organisms as fundamental agents of ecological change." doi.org/10.3897/ibe....

A review of the concepts and mathematical methods that can be used to model how mortality risks vary over multiple dimensions in individual-based and other mechanistic ecological models. doi.org/10.3897/ibe....

❓ How does microplastics consumption affects rainbow trout abundance and body size at the population level? An individual-based model of stream-dwelling trout population dynamics offers some answers: doi.org/10.3897/ibe....

Individual-based ecology has the power to elucidate complex ecological responses by modelling the behaviour of individual agents - see how in this story about a new study that highlights the role of behavioural plasticity for climate change resilience in trouts! blog.pensoft.net/2025/03/31/g...

The ideas discussed here are a beautiful example of why incorporating ecological theory is important to answering questions about microbiome health and disease. Disturbances can impact ecosystems in non-linear & complex ways, and individual systems may exhibit a unique spectrum of responses.

New journal up-and-running that is worth a look at, aimed at considering links between individuals and higher levels of organisation. Looks like it's (currently) diamond💎 open access too.

Join us at @ibe.pensoft.net We are looking to build a special collection of new articles on Individual Perspectives in Conservation Ecology. We are eager to be taxonomically inclusive. Please contact co-editor- in-chief, prof. Mark Hauber [email protected] for more information. Photo: T. Grim
