Read our new paper, in which we explore the importance of response diversity for maintaining community stability in the context of pulse disturbances, using a combination of model simulations and meta-analysis:

@ckunze.bsky.social tested whether the concept of response diversity holds for pulse disturbances & realized response diversity. Turns out interaction strength is key. Great collaboration w @owpet.bsky.social & Shyamolina Gosh @icbm-uol.bsky.social @hifmb.de
Here at SLU Aqua (Uppsala campus, Sweden), we have an exciting 2 yr postdoc open for an ECR with a background in aquatic ecosystem ecology. The position focuses on investigating how land–sea interactions and climate change affect aquatic food webs. Great lab - apply!

The topics range from the difficulty of measuring biodiversity to the different emotions about or with biodiversity. Thanks to the brilliant input from early career scientists, it became both an introduction to the topic of biodiversity change and a plea for interdisciplinary collaboration.
More than a year ago researchers from @hifmb.de and @icbm-uol.bsky.social started to write about different perspectives on marine biodiversity change from natural and social science perspectives. This morphed into a review paper that was published online today link.springer.com/article/10.1... 🧪

🌍🔬 Our new paper is out! We identify the global mechanisms shaping the elemental composition of organisms — and the results overturn long-standing assumptions in ecology.

#JazzTonight Great concert by Archer, a new quartet of Dave Rempis alto and Terry Ex guitar with Jon Rune Strøm – bass, Tollef Østvang – drums. #JazzImGüterschuppen #jazzsky
First time I saw Jack deJohnette live, almost 40 years ago, was in Vienna, an outerworldly concert with Jarrett and Peacock, but most impressive was this melodious drummer hovering over his drum set to effortlessly paint rhythms. A genius will be missed.
