From friend to foe and back: coevolutionary transitions in the mutualism–antagonism continuum

1st author Felix Jäger studied the dynamic nature of biotic interactions and identified an evolutionary #TippingPoint: a gradual change in environmental conditions may lead to an abrupt breakdown of #mutualism to #antagonism, which can‘t be reversed by restoring the initial conditions.

Tomorrow (Thursday) at 4pm CET I’ll be giving a #seminar talk about the #ecology and #evolution of interaction #networks. Please say hi via DM in case you are interested, so I can forward the zoom link!

Something BIG has happened. Dear academic world, it is my huge honour to introduce the freshly awarded Dr. Franziska Koch.

Franzi was the first PhD student student in my #ecoevo #modelling team. Yesterday, she defended her thesis about „the paradox of the bryozoans“ with ease and glory. Congratulations, Franzi!!!

Save the date!

The next @YoMosEco workshop for young modellers in ecology (#YoMos) will take place on 19-23th MAY 2025 in Ilmenau. Are you a BSc/MSc/PhD student interested in #EcologicalModelling and/or #TheoreticalEcology? Then don't think twice, this is certainly THE meeting to atttend next year.

I guess more info will soon appear here: https://www.yomos.org/

New #preprint is online!

"Many weak and few strong links" seems to be a common pattern in many #EcologicalNetworks. We show that this skewness in interaction strengths can enable stabilising effects of network structure. It should hence receive more attention in #TheoreticalEcology and #EcologicalModelling, especially in studies based on random matrices!

(Btw, just in case you are looking for guest speakers, I highly recommend the first author, Franziska Koch! )
