Our latest paper out in Ecology and Evolution:

‘Logistic-growth models measuring density feedback are sensitive to population declines, but not fluctuating carrying capacity’

Super interesting paper that analayzes one of the #LTEE populations that evolved stably coexisting #ecotypes from Joao Ascensao, Kelly Wetmore, Ben Good, Adam Arkin & Oskar Hallatschek. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-35677-5

Bergeron: 12 yrs of monitoring 920 #kangaroos reveal that survival in year after pouch exit is highly variable (6-92%), in subsequent 10 yrs it is high and varies little (♀️89-95%; ♂️74-85%, averages by age class). Annual♀️survival at 3-6 yrs is essentially fixed, 94-96%. After age 10, survival is lower and again very variable (♀️33-96%; ♂️49-74%). Results suggest population crashes may be mostly due to deaths of very young and old roos #senescence #PopulationDynamics https://esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ecy.3963

"While we know that population busts in early farming societies were a frequent occurrence, we don’t yet know whether such cycles were universal, or whether there were periods and places when population levels stabilized for long periods of time."

#AdaptiveDynamics studying #Evolution in the context of #PopulationDynamics. When I worked on it I called it #EvolutionaryDynamics but adaptive dynamics is the name that has stuck. Diagram shows the adaptive dynamics of coevolving predator and prey where no stable #EvolutionaryStableStrategy can be reached.

It’s been many years since I’ve been to #Antarctica, but projects B031 & B200 continue to collect long term data on the ecology of #AdéliePenguins, #populationdynamics, #foragingbehavior, and #climatechange. Project people are now in the field and ready for a new season, with new GPS/Sat/dive tags ready to go. Here is a 2021 paper from our team: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-02451-4?

#introduction
Hi fellow ecoevo socialites! My name is Walid Mawass and I hail from the small country of Lebanon, currently in the US (previously Canada and France). I count myself as an #evolutionarygeneticist, my research interests focus on #naturalselection and #geneticvariation. I work with both #quantitativegenetics and #populationgenetics models, heavy on the computation. I am currently working on #mutationload and #populationdynamics. Other interests include #music #policy #education

@MeauxJuliette @jclo Sounds like Grime's triangle to me. We have a study that we hope captures the #PopulationDynamics math, but we don't have parameterization for the trade-offs. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0040580918301175?via%3Dihub

New to mastodon 👋

I'm a master's student at Simon Fraser University near Vancouver, BC. I am studying something I like to call metabolic morphology where I try to uncover relationships between morphological traits and #metabolism and vital rates in #sharks 🦈. #ecology #evolution #MarineBiology #populationdynamics #extinctionrisk
