What a good start to the week: My first paper just got published in Oikos! 🌱
"Metacommunity connectance and emergent patterns drive diversity via spatial eco-evolutionary feedback" with Christian Guill and Toni Klauschies

Schematic figure from Philipp et al. 2025: Top left panel shows a satellite photo of multiple ponds in a landscape, top right panel shows the plankton community within a single pond as scheme drawing; the bottom left panel shows how the habitat (pond) structure is abstraced to a habiat network; the bottom right panel shows how the local community structure is abstracted to an aggregated food web model. Altogether, this 'trophic metacommunity' can show self-organisation that appear as biomass differences between habitats (denoted as differently shaded nodes of green and blue in the bottom left panel)

I'm extremely grateful to have received the Anne Keymer prize for my oral presentation at the BES annual meeting 2025! A big thank you to the @britishecologicalsociety.org and everyone who came along to the talk—it was an absolute honour to have the chance to share my research with you all!

The Anne Keymer prize is awarded for the best oral presentation by a postgraduate student. 

Charlotte won the prize for delivering a talk on improving habitat connectivity analysis by combining individual-based modelling with network theory.

82 % der wissenschaftlichen Beschäftigten unterhalb der Professur arbeiten befristet.
Das ist kein vorübergehendes Nachwuchsproblem, sondern Ausdruck struktureller Fehlanreize im deutschen Hochschulsystem.

Unser neues Positionspapier ist hier angehängt; unten findet ihr eine Kurzfassung 👇👇

New paper by Laurie Wojcik et al. where we show that response to a pulse perturbation has a hump-shaped relationship with top-down control

Top-down control and species composition influence nonlinearly the short-term response of experimental food webs to a nutrient pulse perturbation
Abstract. Extreme weather events intensify with global change and frequently disturb aquatic ecosystems via, e.g. nutrient pulses through surface runoff. W
