(1/3) I’m happy to share a manuscript we wrote entitled “How to build Dynamic Energy Budget models: Practical guidelines for model development“. Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) models are widely recognized as useful. However, these models are often perceived as complicated and difficult to implement.

🚨🦪🌊 Renewable energy in marine ecosystems may favor benthic grazers. Using Dynamic Energy Budget theory, we show pelagic grazers mature faster and spend more energy on maintenance, while benthic grazers excel at biomass production— crucial for managing renewable energy impacts.👉 tinyurl.com/4cmd8byy
