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.
From metabolism to coexistence: Understanding animal movement and community dynamics through energy
To counteract ongoing biodiversity loss due to global change, we need a deeper understanding of when and how species coexist. Recent work has begun to uncover mechanistic links between species coexist...

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.
