Come join us!! If you worry you don’t quite fit the job ad - don’t worry, you do! Please apply!

My first PhD chapter is out as a preprint! We formulate step selection functions as GAM-like models, which can be fitted in mgcv. This allows for the inclusion of non-linear effects/interactions, as well as individual-level and spatial random effects! doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

PhD Position on tree-tree interactions. We are looking forward to seeing your applications until January 17th.

Das @BMBF_Bund hat aus dem Kommunikationsdesaster um #IchbinHanna gelernt und kommuniziert mit Forschenden endlich auf Augenhöhe.

Absolutely cool project in a lovely new group. I would not hesitate to apply. Deadline soon...

Living in a completely parallel universe, they call this an improvement... #WissZeitVG

Und das geht und allen in der Wissenschaft genau gleich. Wie schaffen den ganz grossen Braindrain und schaffen die systematische Arbeit an den Unis ab. #WissZeitVG

Meine Meinung bleibt, dass die Politik den Wissen schaftlichen Prozess nicht versteht, weil sie nicht zuhört. Einzig in der Politik werden Eigentore gefeiert. #WissZeitVG

If you wanna remain happy, stop caring about what other people think.

We tend to use simple models to describe regime shifts in nature. But ecosystems, brains or cancers are built upon many interacting units. How does multistability emerge in complex systems? now in Ecology Letters ! Sonia Kefi shorturl.at/ADFP4

And this folks, is why you don't use posterior means to make predictions

I was just thinking someone needs to write a paper saying it is not biodiversity per se, but *species interactions*, that underpin ecosystem services This new paper makes that point, although I think there is much more to say on the subject besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

How can we model the emergent complexity of microbial ecosystems? How to do the maths & predict their dynamics, from the gut & the soil to the biosphere? Here's a great NatureEcoEvo review Víctor de Lorenzo Barcelona Collaboratorium Fernando T. Maestre victor Sara Mitri nature.com/articles/s4155…
