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?

Sadly, it is already time to say goodbye to our guest student Deborah Doe. She came to visit my lab and to attend my summer course on #TheoreticalEcology. Now she's back in Ghana, preparing for her MPhil thesis. She will study the structure-stability relation of Ghanaian tree-liana interaction networks using methods from
#RandomMatrixTheory.
Stay tuned, this girl is on fire! 🔥

I've been thinking a lot about why so few ecology students are interested in theory / maths / modelling / coding. I hypothesise that this is about exposure. They rarely learn about these things, so they feel intimidated and don't see the potential benefit. In my experience, however, they eventually get the hang of it - and often even enjoy it! - once they are forced to learn some basics. So maybe #TheoreticalEcology courses should become compulsory for ecology students? Any thoughts?
Btw, I’m in the middle of teaching a 4-week block module on #TheoreticalEcology, involving a lot of maths and bit of coding. And I still don’t know whether I’m heartbroken because only two students were brave enough to sign up or whether I’m enthusiastic because these two students are absolutely rocking it.
I guess I just wish more students would see maths as something beautiful and powerful and fascinating, instead of being scared of it. Because it IS beautiful and powerful and fascinating! 🤓

For all the #EvolutionaryTheory and #TheoreticalEcology folks who don't have fancy study species to share photos of, we unveil the #Theory #Moose.

...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:
