If you're working on individual-based models (#IBM) in ecology, consider contributing an article to this Special Issue / Topical Collection on "Individual-based Modelling in Ecology: Learning from the past and the presence for the future. " that is part of the newly established scientific journal Individual-Based Ecology! At the moment, they also have zero publication charge 🦊

...your regular reminder that all models are wrong, but some are delicious! 😋

Our next #LunchBoxModels #seminar is scheduled for Wednesday (Feb 25) at 12 CET. Boris Schröder-Esselbach (TU Berlin) will talk about #EcologicalModelling and how it provides key contributions to coastal #EcosystemServices and the restoration of seagrass meadows. Don't think twice, join us! 😊

Nice study showing yet another effect of the ongoing temperature increase due to #ClimateChange : French oak populations were, over time, less exposed to late spring frost damage, in frequency as well as extent, which are largely driven by the temporal advance of both the last spring frost day and budburst dates.

#seminar alert! ⏰

Next Tuesday, Frank Hilker from the University of Osnabrück will give a talk in our Ecology Colloquium entitled

"To connect or not connect isolated patches: Total population abundance and failed rescue effects in fragmented landscapes".

Everyone welcome, either in person or via Zoom, the more the merrier! 😀

🚨new paper published! 🚨

„Many weak and few strong links“ seems to be a common pattern in many ecological networks. 1st author Franziska Koch shows that this pattern can enable stabilising effects of network structure, using competitive hierarchies as a case study. We argue that skewed link strength distributions should hence receive more attention, especially in studies based on #RandomMatrixTheory.

New publication in ! Benedikt Hartweg & his colleagues simulated tropical forests in under disturbance scenarios and fitted allometries at different spatial scales. Super helpful insights for the new mission by @esa

Graphic announcing a new scientific paper. The background shows a blurred aerial view of a dense green forest. Overlaid text reads: “NEW PAPER – Benedikt Hartweg et al. (2025) in ECOLOGICAL MODELLING.” Below, a subtitle says: “Are locally trained allometric functions of forest aboveground biomass universal across spatial scales and forest disturbance scenarios?”

🚨 New #preprint online! 🚨

"Forecasting #bryozoan assemblage dynamics under simulated #ClimateChange" by Mira Baer et al.

We use an #IndividualBasedModel to explore potential future bryozoan assemblage dynamics. We show that successional patterns strongly depend on the duration of the growing season as well as on the spatial distribution of predation events - which are both likely to change due to #ClimateWarming...

Minor revisions! 🎉

...and apparently our method to derive competitive interaction strengths from empirical observation is considered "extremely elegant". That's a nice vacation start! 🥳

🚨 new paper 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. 🤯

Hi everyone,

For our next institute's #seminar # (Thursday, 14:15 CET) I've invited Christian Guill and Louica Philipp (@Louzula) from Potsdam University. They will explain how self-organised pattern formation supports #diversity in trophic #metacommunities.

It's going to be a hybrid seminar. Please let me know in case you would like to join, so I can forward the zoom link via DM!

🚨 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!!
