What a good start to the week: My first paper just got published in Oikos! 🌱
"Metacommunity connectance and emergent patterns drive diversity via spatial eco-evolutionary feedback" with Christian Guill and Toni Klauschies

Schematic figure from Philipp et al. 2025: Top left panel shows a satellite photo of multiple ponds in a landscape, top right panel shows the plankton community within a single pond as scheme drawing; the bottom left panel shows how the habitat (pond) structure is abstraced to a habiat network; the bottom right panel shows how the local community structure is abstracted to an aggregated food web model. Altogether, this 'trophic metacommunity' can show self-organisation that appear as biomass differences between habitats (denoted as differently shaded nodes of green and blue in the bottom left panel)

@raviranjan.bsky.social & I are teaching a free online workshop with on experimental design for environmental scientists on the 23rd.

We'll focus on using simulations to evaluate how well different experimental designs help achieve your goals.

Please sign up & share! forms.gle/MZTxeQs4UpMr...
Poster for 90 minute workshop on HOW TO DESIGN BETTER EXPERIMENTS, by Mridul Thomas & Ravi Ranjan. Details: September 23rd 16:00 CEST ; 14:00 UTC Description: Experimental designs can make or break an experiment. A good experiment has a clear goal and efficiently uses experimental resources to achieve that goal. In this workshop, we will review what experiments are for, basic and advanced principles of designing experiments, and how to use simulations to evaluate designs before actually doing the experiment. We’ll do a moderate amount of coding in R and so experience with this would be helpful but is not required. We intend to have small-group discussions to help participants develop their own experiments, and encourage participants to think of a specific question they would like to answer with an experiment.

I have papers published in Ecological Modelling. Never again, I guess.

Microbial communities can harbor many species that do not coexist in pairs, yet can coexist in the full community. Here we provide the mathematical foundations of emergent coexistence, and explain why it can't be predicted from pairwise tests www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The idea for this seminar series is the product of a conversation at the @ecolsocaus.bsky.social conference. We were inspired by great online seminars like the @iite-ecotheory.bsky.social and @theobiophysics.bsky.social but wanted to have something in our time zone. Now the idea has come to life 🤩
