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!

#EcologicalModelling
#ComputationalEcology
🚨 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!!! 🙌 🥳🎉

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!
🚨 We are hiring! 🚨
I'm looking for a doctoral or postdoctoral researcher to join my #ecoevo #modelling team at the University of Hohenheim in southern Germany. More info here:

🚨 Save the date! 🚨
The next @YoMosEco workshop for young modellers in ecology (#YoMos) will take place on 19-23th MAY 2025 in Ilmenau. Are you a BSc/MSc/PhD student interested in #EcologicalModelling and/or #TheoreticalEcology? Then don't think twice, this is certainly THE meeting to atttend next year.
I guess more info will soon appear here: https://www.yomos.org/
🚨 New #preprint online! 🚨
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. 🤯
NeoBiota https://neobiota.pensoft.net/ the journal which I have the pleasure and honour of being chief editor for the past 14 years, increased its Scopus CiteScore for the third consecutive year to now 8.1 (the journal's all-time high). This means we are in Q1 of #AnimalScience and #Zoology; #InsectScience; #AquaticScience; Ecology, #Evolution, Behavior and #Systematics; #PlantScience; #Ecology; and #EcologicalModelling.

Are you a BSc/MSc/PhD student interested in #EcologicalModelling and/or #TheoreticalEcology?
Then the #Yomos workshop is just right for you! Come join us at the Federsee station in May! 😊
🚨 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! 😉)
🚨 Heads up, dear fellow modellers! 🚨
It's not official yet, but there will be a vacancy in my #ecoevo #modelling team starting early next year for at least 3 years. It's 50% university funded and open for either a PhD student or a postdoc. More info will follow soon - but you are of course welcome to get in touch now in case you are interested! 😉

I’m preparing a conference talk based on a recent publication (see below!). It’s a lot of work, because I have to start from scratch, so I would be sad to present it just once. Are you interested in #TheoreticalEcology and
#EcologicalModelling in general and/or #BushEncroachment of #savanna systems in particular? Then please get in touch! I would be happy to give a virtual seminar!
