PS, I'll present recent work from Felix Jäger, PhD student in my group. The talk is entitled "Between Friends and Foes - Evolutionary #Diversification in Mutualistic-Antagonistic Networks" and based on our joint #preprint.

I’m on my way home after a really nice and inspiring #MPDEE #conference in #Leicester. I think my talk was a success but it’s kind of sad to think about how many hours I spend preparing it...
So, just in case you want to learn about #EvolutionaryRescue and it’s counterpart, #EvolutionaryMurder, please let me know, I would be happy to recycle those slides for another occasion!

🚨 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.

🚨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.

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...

Janzen–Connell hypothesis (Ecology 🏞️)
The Janzen–Connell hypothesis is a well-known hypothesis for the maintenance of high species biodiversity in the tropics. It was published independently in the early 1970s by Daniel Janzen, who focused on tropical trees, and Joseph Connell who discussed trees and marine invertebrates. Accor...

From friend to foe and back: coevolutionary transitions in the mutualism–antagonism continuum
1st author Felix Jäger studied the dynamic nature of biotic interactions and identified an evolutionary #TippingPoint: a gradual change in environmental conditions may lead to an abrupt breakdown of #mutualism to #antagonism, which can‘t be reversed by restoring the initial conditions. 🤯

The program for the #GFÖ2025 / @gfoe conference is finally online! I'm very happy to see a whole session on species interactions and interaction networks! So exciting! 🤩
Btw, I'll attend together with my little coworker and my whole group. Who else is coming? We would love to talk about #Momademia, #TheoreticalEcology, #EcologcialNetworks and #EcoEvoFeedback! 😊

Hi everyone,
For our next institute's #seminar # (Thursday, 14:15 CET) I've invited Christian Guill and Louica Philipp (@Louzula) from Potsdam University. They will explain how self-organised pattern formation supports #diversity in trophic #metacommunities.
It's going to be a hybrid seminar. Please let me know in case you would like to join, so I can forward the zoom link via DM!

My little #coworker and me got invited to the university of #Osnabrück, as guest speakers for the Maryam Mirzakhani Lecture. We are both very excited, because it’s our first trip by train! Let’s hope I packed enough diapers. And snacks. We need lots of snacks. Btw, the #seminar will be about #TheoreticalEcology and also about how to combine family and research. Let’s hope we’ll give a good example… 🙈

Tomorrow (Thursday) at 4pm CET I’ll be giving a #seminar talk about the #ecology and #evolution of interaction #networks. Please say hi via DM in case you are interested, so I can forward the zoom link!

🚨 Heads up: today is abstract submission deadline for the @gfoe #conference #GFOE2025! 🚨
My team is planning to contribute 4 amazing talks about the #ecology and #evolution of interaction networks! Additionally, we are planning a little get-together for fellow modellers. So if you consider yourself a (statistical / individual-based / mathematical / whatever) modeller in ecology, then please reach out!!

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!!! 🙌 🥳🎉

🚨 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!

Are you a BSc/MSc/PhD student interested in #EcologicalModelling and/or #TheoreticalEcology? Then don't think twice, this👆is the meeting to atttend next year. Go and have fun in Ilmenau! You’ll not only discover some amazing science but also experience a nice sense of community. Go! -
More #TheoreticalEcology today @sfe2_2024 !
Felix Jaeger will talk about evolutionary transitions from #antagonism to #mutualism and back (11:15 in room Rhône 3B) and Franziska Koch will talk about the structure-stability relation of #competition #networks (15:15, also in room Rhône 3B).
Enjoy! -
On my way to @sfe2_2024 in Lyon for the week. Looking forward to meet up with colleagues and friends.
I will chair the #TheoreticalEcology and #Modelling session on Tuesday morning (Auditorium) and will talk on Wednesday morning in the same session, about parameter #Identifiability in #IntegratedPopulationModels.
Also don't miss out the Symposium Advances in Statistical Ecology on Wednesday!
Send me a message if we don't cross paths and would like to chat.

🚨 New #preprint is online! 🚨
"Many weak and few strong links" seems to be a common pattern in many #EcologicalNetworks. We show that this skewness in interaction strengths can enable stabilising effects of network structure. It should hence receive more attention in #TheoreticalEcology and #EcologicalModelling, especially in studies based on random matrices!
(Btw, just in case you are looking for guest speakers, I highly recommend the first author, Franziska Koch! 😉)
-
Looking for a #seminar speaker?
Look no more! Franziska Koch (PhD student in my team) would be happy to talk about her research on #bryozoans competing for space on the seabed. Amongst other things, she can demonstrate that competitive hierarchies mitigate network instability by keeping short and long feedback loops relatively weak. She is an excellent speaker and she can easily fill up to 30 minutes! -

Our story on joint interaction disinvestment of #plant-#pollinator systems in response to #InsectDecline was accepted at Evolutionary Ecology and is now available online:
