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!

🚨 Job alert 🚨

The research group ‘Eco-Evolutionary Dynamics’ led by Lynn Govaert invites applications for a 3-year #PhDposition in #TheoreticalEcology at the Department of Evolutionary and Integrative Ecology of IGB in Berlin. Earliest starting date is mid-September 2023. Lynn and I are collaborating on this one, so please get in touch in case you are interested! :-)

My brain just wouldn't stop mulling over the mysterious error messages my simulation code was spitting out. So I've been staring at my code for 3 full days now. Yes, that's correct, 3 full days. Until I saw the misplaced brackets that made the population dynamics go wild. 🤦🏻 Hoorray! 🎉

Now, dear brain, you've done very well, can we please please please have weekend now?

I've not been very active on mastodon, but wanted to let people know about #YoMos again. Application deadline is this Friday. We have three wonderful speakers this year with Hanna Meyer, Werner Rammer and Catalina Munteanu.

...and another #seminar invitation: Avril Weinbach (postdoc in my team) will present her latest research on Tuesday, March 28, at 11 am:
“Eco-evolutionary responses of mutualistic systems to insect decline and changes in flowering phenology”.

This is a hybrid seminar, so please get in touch in case you would like to join and learn more about the methods that we use to study all sorts of #ecoevo dynamics!

Update: The abstract submission for the European Conference on Ecological Modelling (#ECEM23) is open until 1st of April. We hope to see you there so we can discuss about #feedback, #stability, #coexistence, #networks, #ecoevo, etc.!!

The ECEM will take place in Leipzig (Germany) on September 4-8. More info can be found on the conference website:

Last questions in our minisymposium on #IndividualBasedModels: What does it take to become a good modeller?

Answers from our guest speakers include persistence, stubbornness, patience, curiosity, creativity and interdisciplinary thinking.

Note that lots of prior experience in coding or maths is missing from the list, because these are just tools that can be learned on the way. So no need to feel intimidated - #modelling is for everyone! ;-)
