  2. 🚨 new #preprint online 🚨

    Rapid evolution in response to changing environmental conditions is often considered beneficial, as it can help species to persist in changing environments. However, evolution can also be detrimental. 1st author Simon Leoz examines eco-evolutionary dynamics of competitive systems and finds a case of evolutionary murder, where rapid evolution of one species drives another one towards extinction.

  3. #seminar alert! ⏰

    Next Tuesday, Frank Hilker from the University of Osnabrück will give a talk in our Ecology Colloquium entitled

    "To connect or not connect isolated patches: Total population abundance and failed rescue effects in fragmented landscapes".

    Everyone welcome, either in person or via Zoom, the more the merrier! 😀

  7. If you're into #ecology, #metacommunity, #network and #diversity #theory, #foodweb models with #dynamic #traits, #ecoevo #feedback, #complexsystems, or perhaps even #Turingpatterns, my first paper just published in Oikos might be worth a look:

    "Metacommunity connectance and emergent patterns drive diversity via spatial eco-evolutionary feedback"

    All credits due to my wonderful supervisors and coauthors @christian Guill and Toni Klauschies 🎓
    Very exciting week! 🦊

  8. Something BIG has happened. Dear academic world, it is my huge honour to introduce the freshly awarded Dr. Franziska Koch. 🍾🥂

    Franzi was the first PhD student student in my #ecoevo #modelling team. Yesterday, she defended her thesis about „the paradox of the bryozoans“ with ease and glory. Congratulations, Franzi!!! 🙌 🥳🎉

  10. HUGE milestone reached today! This is the first ever #PhDThesis from our #ecoevo #modelling team. And it is such a fascinating story, full of new insights into the forces that (de-)stabilise (ecological) interaction #networks! Congratulations Franzi!!! What a crazy ride this has been…

  12. Alecia Carter and I are launching a new online seminar!
    The aim is to bring together biologists & philosophers to explore the concept of animal agency.
    A preliminary session will be held on 5 December.
    Feel free share to anyone who might be interested!

  13. …and just before we left, we luckily remembered to take another group picture! So this is the Hohenheim #ecoevo modelling group after an inspiring week at #ECEM23 in Leipzig!
    Now we’re heading home, a bit tired, but our heads are full of new ideas… 🤩

    (Credits go to our photographer @Louzula! Thanks for taking this great picture!)

  14. There were so many fantastic talks today at #ECEM23, it’s impossible to decide which one was best. But the award for the best presentation slide clearly goes to Lynn Govaert for explaining the #ecoevo sandwich… 🤣

  20. In just 1 week, I'll be in Ferrara, Italy, for #SMBE23, together w/fellow @ScientistRebellion members. We'll be hosting a set of workshops on #CivilResistance by scientists during the conference. If curious about what it's like to participate in #DirectAction, you're welcome to attend! Details in the #SMBE website or in the poster below.

    All are welcome! After all, there will be no molecular or evolutionary #biology on a dead planet.

  21. #introduction

    Chemical engineer by training and profession. Spent my last working decade in the network and transport layers, plus security architecture. Retired now.

    Never used the bird, ran from the faceplant and tightly constrain other social. Watched #Explore here for a bit and found interesting and welcoming positivity. Hoping to find a community to exchange and discuss ideas.

    Fan of science fiction and original research in mammalian biology, microbiology and systems/network biology.

  22. Next up at #PopBio2023 is Avril Weinbach presenting a #modelling study on #ecoevo #feedback in #mutualistic systems: A decline of #pollinators can trigger joint interaction disinvestment!

    More info in our #preprint:

    doi.org/10.1101/2023.02.12.528

  23. Update: I’m having so much fun reviewing the abstracts for my session at #ECEM23. So many cool contributions! 🤩 We will talk about #feedback, #TippingPoints, #EcoEvo, #bistability, #coexistence, #PatternFormation etc. This is going to be a awesome!!! 😊

    (But also: we received more submissions than slots available and it’s sooo hard to choose!)

  24. ...and another #seminar invitation: Avril Weinbach (postdoc in my team) will present her latest research on Tuesday, March 28, at 11 am:
    “Eco-evolutionary responses of mutualistic systems to insect decline and changes in flowering phenology”.

    This is a hybrid seminar, so please get in touch in case you would like to join and learn more about the methods that we use to study all sorts of #ecoevo dynamics!

    #Mutualism

  25. Update: The abstract submission for the European Conference on Ecological Modelling (#ECEM23) is open until 1st of April. We hope to see you there so we can discuss about #feedback, #stability, #coexistence, #networks, #ecoevo, etc.!!

    The ECEM will take place in Leipzig (Germany) on September 4-8. More info can be found on the conference website:

  26. Hi #ecoevo community, I've been intending to nominate Alexis Simon to the @officialSMBE Community Service Award for creating the #EcoEvoSocial server in record time and allowing a smooth and efficient migration of our community to Mastodon. I haven't had time to do it 😢, but if anyone else is nominating him, I'd be more than happy to support. The deadline is 15 March 😅. smbe.org/smbe/AWARDS/FacultyAw #SMBE23 #SMBE

  27. In this thread I wanted to share some #CoolPapers that my lab has published in the last 12 months - including a polygenic basis for #inversion #evolution, #transgenerational effects of #OceanAcidification on #oysters, a review of testing methods in #EcoEvo, evaluation of they way people measure #GenomicVulnerability, and we developed a way to quantify cogradient and countergradient variation!

  28. Super interesting paper that analayzes one of the #LTEE populations that evolved stably coexisting #ecotypes from Joao Ascensao, Kelly Wetmore, Ben Good, Adam Arkin & Oskar Hallatschek. nature.com/articles/s41467-022

  29. Our new paper on modelling the #spatiotemporal dynamics of a beneficial genetic variant is out @eLife.
    Muktupavela et al: elifesciences.org/articles/737
    Plus a digest highlight here: elifesciences.org/digests/7376

    We extend a #diffusion method for inferring the spread of a strongly selected allele, originally developed by Novembre et al. (journals.plos.org/plosbiology/). We now incorporate #ancientDNA and allow for #advection dynamics.

  30. This week's DEE External Seminar welcomes Sara Mitri (hosted by Charles Mullon) for a talk on synthetic microbial communities 🦠. Wednesday Dec 7th at 12:15 in the Biophore Amphitheatre or online via REC UNIL rec.unil.ch/lives/live_80807/

  31. Although based on the biological #ecoevo instance I am following a variety of people across the intersection of #AI #Mathematics #SocialSciences and #Philosophy on other instances because I am aware that #ArtificialIntelligence so-called is both very limited in relation to its original objectives when described at #DartmouthCollege in 1956 but despite this presents risks due to lack of understanding of present #Applications and #Future #Implications.

  32. Our next DEE External Seminar welcomes @stefanomammola (hosted by Cleo Bertelsmeier) for a look at subterranean communities through the lens of trait-based ecology. November 30th, 12:15pm at the Biophore Amphitheatre or online rec.unil.ch/lives/live_80807

  33. #introduction

    I'm a post-doc trying to understand the vegetated land surface through space and time.

    My research touches areas of ecology, biogeography, functional traits & diversity, ecosystem fun., and veg. modelling.

    I aim to disentangle interactions between functional diversity and ecosystem function using #ecoevo vegetation models (aDGVM2, LPJ-GUESS-NTD).

  35. Hello #EcoEvo! For those that don't know me from the bird site: I'm in the write-up stage of my #PhD on variation in #WarningSignals in #TigerMoths, but recently scored a sweet new job as a #ResearchOfficer working on #BeeGutMicrobiomes and #Probiotics. I met the campus bees today- it was a total buzz 😅😏🐝

  36. #ecoevo folks. My involvement in evolutionary ecology has been very theoretical, with one exception when helped field work on the St Kilda Soay Sheep project. Field work has one great advantage: much better views. Here is Village Bay, Hirta, St Kilda, Outer Hebrides, Scotland. While the picture was taken decades ago, the archipelago remains the same and the project continues. #StKilda #SoaySheepProject #OuterHebrides 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

  37. A #thread of recent papers coauthored by Eörs Szathmáry on learning and evolution, covering Darwinian principles in the immune system, brain, Bayesian learning theory.
