Trying to figure out at which company to print my thesis. Any sugestions or experiences for printing companies in the Netherlands? PhD_Genie The PhD Story PhD Speaks

Today I attend the Dutch Demography Day. I learned that there are even more ways to look at human populations and their networks as I thought. But I keep thinking: would all this work in other animal populations as well, or are all these patterns human specific?

My thesis is approved and the data it confirmed. Friday 20th January 2023, I will publicly defend my thesis in the Aula of the University of Amsterdam. IBED UvA Faculty of Science UvA Amsterdam

The printed copies of my thesis are in!

My abstract for 8th EvoDemoSoc Annual Meeting in Paris has been accepted. I will talk about the effects of poaching on the family structure of elephant herds. I am looking forward to the conference!

The second paper of my thesis is published! In this paper I explore how a stochatic version of the von Bertalanffy growth equation can be used to estimate variation in individual growth and bodysize without repeated individual observations. dx.doi.org/10.1002/ece3.9…

In two weeks, Jasper Croll from IBED will defend his PhD thesis "Starving to grow: The ecology and evolution of growth curve plasticity". The ceremony will be held at De Aula in Amsterdam on January 20th at 11am. Good luck! 🐟 ibed.uva.nl/content/events…

Tomorrow at 11 CET I will publicly defend my PhD thesis entitled "Starving to grow, ecology and evolution of growth curve plasticity". You can attend my defence live or online: uva.nl/en/content/eve…

Last Friday I successfully defended my PhD thesis. It was a great day with interesting discussions. I am ready to continue my way forward in science! #PhD #Thesis #postdoc

Just before the weekend the third paper of my PhD thesis was published. Herein we explore how optimal harvesting intensity changes with density dependence in growth. With @tobiasvankooten @andrederoos61. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/fa…

Announcing the 2023 Theory Section Break-the-Mold Paper Award! We aim to award novel and non-conventional ways of theoretical thinking in ecology. Papers published in *2022* are eligible. Submit your nominations here before Apr 10: forms.gle/oHWRAhku2bRff6…

Straight into elephant demography at 8th EvoDemoSoc Annual Meeting. Jasper Croll presenting data on how poaching disrupts family groups, with implications for mortality and fecundity (fertility for those of us who spend too much time thinking about humans)

Today I presented an example of how poaching could affect the kin structure of African elephants at the 8th EvoDemoSoc Annual Meeting conference in Paris!

On the ferry to Texel. Tomorrow morning I will talk at NIOZ about my work on density dependent growth in fish stocks. @NIOZnieuws

Congratulations to Jasper Croll and @andrederoos61, winners of ESA Theoretical Ecology 2023 Outstanding Paper in Theoretical Ecology! As sponsors of this award, we are delighted to offer our books and SFI swag as prizes for your break-the-mold paper.

Announcing this year's break-the-mold paper award! The best paper goes to Jasper Croll and @andrederoos61: The regulating effect of growth plasticity on the dynamics of structured populations, published in Theoretical Ecology (link.springer.com/article/10.100…) (1/3)

Plasticity in growth is closely links to the energy availability of individuals. In the new article from my PhD, we show that energy allocation schemes of individuals could play a major role in the evolution of plasticity in individual growth curves. doi.org/10.1007/s12080…

Growth is more similar beteen ecological related species and adjesent locations. In the last publication of my phd we therefore argue that growth is a usefull indicator for enviromental conditions and ecological relatedness. int-res.com/abstracts/meps…
