  1. 🚨 new #preprint 🚨

    The evolutionary emergence of #EcologicalNetworks has been studied for decades but usually focussing on one type of interaction at a time, even though organisms naturally engage in multiple interaction types simultaneously. The combined effect of different interaction types on diversification thus remains unclear - until now. 😜

    I hope you enjoy reading this fascinating story about ecological #pleiotropy and how it shapes #diversification patterns!

  2. ...and another quick reminder that all models are wrong, but some are delicious! 😋

    Our next #LunchBoxModels #seminar is scheduled for Wednesday (Jan 28) at 12 CET. Elisa Thebault (Sorbonne Université de Paris) will talk about species diversity, food web structure and ecosystem stability. Don't think twice, join us! 😊

  3. 🚨new paper published! 🚨

    „Many weak and few strong links“ seems to be a common pattern in many ecological networks. 1st author Franziska Koch shows that this pattern can enable stabilising effects of network structure, using competitive hierarchies as a case study. We argue that skewed link strength distributions should hence receive more attention, especially in studies based on #RandomMatrixTheory.

  4. Hello dear fellow modellers, it's time to plan the next conference season! Anyone planning to attend the #MPDEE in Leicester next year? If yes, shall we propose a minisymposium together?

    I was thinking about something in the direction of #EcologicalNetworks and/or #EcoEvoFeedback and/or #EvolutionaryRescue but that's still a very uncooked idea...

  5. Minor revisions! 🎉

    ...and apparently our method to derive competitive interaction strengths from empirical observation is considered "extremely elegant". That's a nice vacation start! 🥳

  6. 🚨 Heads-up: online registration is now open for the next @gfoe meeting! 🚨

    It will take place in Würzburg in the first week of September. I'm planning to come with my whole #ecoevo team, so you can expect some really cool talks about #TheoreticalEcology, #EcologicalNetworks and #EcoEvoFeedback.

    Who else is coming? We would love to get in touch!

  7. 🚨 We are hiring! 🚨

    I'm looking for a doctoral or postdoctoral researcher to join my #ecoevo #modelling team at the University of Hohenheim in southern Germany. More info here:

  8. @KorinnaAllhoff This is similar to the aims of my DPhil and first postdoctoral research, but since that was in the 1980s to 1990s you have the advantage of better computing resources (and greater academic understanding). I admire the continuing progress in these fields #TheoreticalEcology #EvolutionaryEcology #EcologicalNetworks #ComplexSystems #AdaptiveDynamics

  9. #introduction 👋

    I am a junior research group leader for #ecoevo #modelling at the University of Hohenheim in Germany.

    We study all kinds of #EcologicalNetworks. We want to know how such networks are structured, how they maintain their balance and how they respond to #globalchange. We approach these questions from a theoretical point of view, using computer simulations and mathematics.
