Look @yomoseco.bsky.social, we're in the (GfÖ-) news! I thought I had read that they would now only publish their magazine digitally, but here it is in print, delivered to all our doorsteps ☺️

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)

What a good start to the week: My first paper just got published in Oikos! 🌱
