Interested in resource competition theory, mutualism, spatial patterns or temporal dynamics? I'll be giving a talk in the IITE online seminar series tomorrow summarizing our recent work on microbial cross-feeding that includes all these ingredients.
iite-ecotheory.bsky.social International Initiative for Theoretical Ecology @iite-ecotheory.bsky.social · Oct 20
📣Tomorrow our next series of online seminars restarts: Chris Klausmeier (MSU) will present:

⭐Microbial cross-feeding: coexistence and collapse, spatial patterns and population cycles⭐

Free and open to all:

The heatwave in Finland could last another week or so as the Omega pattern strengthens over northeast Europe.

The persistence of the heatwave will make it definitely one of the strongest on record in Finland, if not the strongest.
