Join us for an @smtpb.bsky.social workshop on Modern Coexistence Theory. We'll cover mathematical foundations, the theory of partitioning, and data-based applications. Featuring @swatipatel.bsky.social, Nick Kortessis, & Lauren Shoemaker. Zoom link here: smtpb.org/event-6426026

Ecology faces an accumulation of models but not an accumulation of confidence. Our new paper w/ Jonathan Levine www.nature.com/articles/s41... in @natecoevo.nature.com introduces a rigorous test rooted in queueing theory to falsify inadequate models and build confidence in useful ones.

Back from an amazing 1-week visit to @sfiscience.bsky.social for a working group!

Want to do vegetation ecology in Taiwan? I am still searching for postdocs, so if interested, check the ad below and apply!

We focus on ecological drivers of cloud & monsoon forests in mountains and how to explain them using plant functional traits.

Postdoc call in Mechanistic Biodiversity Modelling (up to 6 ya) at my lab @unibonn.bsky.social. We focus on modelling terrestrial plant communities, island biogeography, range dynamics, eco-evolutionary feedbacks, diversity gradients, tropical forests, vascular epiphytes. Pls rt! shorturl.at/CL1ny

Job in my lab: 3yr postdoc on how and when complexity promotes network stability.

Looking for physics, math, or theory folks who use analytical approaches, but there'll be great opportunities for data connections too.

Do you want to know if species interactions are more a tool or a limitation when communities try to cope with global change? Check my talk tomorrow at 13:30 in TSB-7. #SIBECOLAEET2025 @eco-aeet.bsky.social @sibecol.bsky.social @sibecol-aeet-25.bsky.social

The stickers from the workshop on structural stability have arrived!
Look for me to get yours 🏃‍➡️

Are you interested in predator-prey interactions and movement ecology?

I am looking for a PhD student to work on the project "A mechanistic theory of functional responses: zooming into movement behaviour to understand and predict predator-prey interactions"

Registration for our workshop "An Introduction to Structural Stability in Ecology" is open!

@eco-aeet.bsky.social @sibecol.bsky.social

Looking for your first quantitative ecology post-doc? Then get in touch.

I will be co-supervising a post-doc with Lourens Swanepoel (based in SA: @Univenofficial). You will have access to many awesome data sets and the focus will be on applying hierarchical models.

Endless book hoarding...

This winter had been dry in Doñana until mid January. Now, our vegetation plots are flooded again after 3 dry years. Cranes and egrets are enjoying it!
