My master's thesis got published in Physical Review E🥳! Thanks to @thilogross.bsky.social for the supervision. We develop a meta-community opinion model and use a master stability function approach to find conditions where pattern formation facilitates diversity. Read here: arxiv.org/abs/2508.15377

Diffusion-driven pattern formation in an opinion dynamical network model

The spatial organization of individuals and their interactions in communities are important factors known to preserve diversity in many complex systems. Inspired by metapopulation models from ecology,...

I am so excited about this: We are doing a new kind of project with the aim of transporting knowledge and methods from the humanities into a natural science context. We'll have 5 full 3yr postdoc positions! I will post more in the coming week. But here is a preview: hifmb.de/institute/hi...

HIPP 27: HUMAN PROGRESS - HIFMB Oldenburg

The HUMAN PROGRESS project aims to advance research in the natural sciences by drawing on methods, insights, and knowledge from across the humanities and social sciences. In doing so it also offers fr...

Mind the gap! Next stop: Biodiversity Theory Our working group just digitized our research landscape using a classic London Tube map design. Every line is a team member; every station is a core topic or application we tackle. Check it out and see where our work interconnects!

Map in the style of the London tube map on a light beige background. The map is surrounded by a blue border. The map shows a network of twelve lines in different colours. Each line represents one of our group members. Each station is a topic or application we are working on. The background is partitioned in different zones similar to fee zones. The zones are Mathematical and Physical Foundations in the middle, surrounded by Complexity Science and Network Science, surrounded by the applications in the ecophere and technosphere. In the bottom left cornor is a box with a black border that has the references for the line colours and the corresponding names of each group member. On the bottom right is a logo with a red circle with a blue, horizontal bar. On the bar is the text "Biond Lab". Right next to it is the text "Theory for Biodiversity. Every model matters."
Table with each station name in alphabetical order. For each station or topic we are working on is a list with the initials of the group member you can reach out to. Unfortunately, the list is too long to post it here in the alt text, but if you have questions and want to reach out, the DMs are open.
Check out the map below to see how our ideas interconnect!

If you're at dpg today: Our PhD student Tim Mauch (@timmauch.bsky.social) will give his talk about "Jacobian Reconstruction from Time-Series of an Opinion Dynamical Network Model and its Applicability as an Early Warning Signal for Tipping Points" 🕧 12:30 PM 📌 GÖR/0226

Es wird wieder Zeit für eine neue Folge Wissenschaft fürs Wohnzimmer. Diesen Do., 19.2., live um 20:30 Uhr, geht es um eines der unbekannteren Ökosysteme in Brasilien. Wir freuen uns sehr, in Episode 189 Dr. Katie Meinhold zu dem Thema zu hören. Einschalten! 1/6 www.youtube.com/live/xsB0SgU...

Meet our group members! Starting off with our research assistant and newest member @timmauch.bsky.social: Hi, I'm Tim, I studied environmental modeling in my master's degree. I'm interested in the intersection of social and complexity sciences - particularly in relation to social media.

Our group member Tim Mauch, a young man with short, wind-blown blond-brown hair smiles at the camera while standing in front of a cityscape during sunset. He wears a black Patagonia t-shirt with a small logo and a graphic of a climber, along with a backpack. A pair of sunglasses hangs from his shirt. The background features a scenic view of a city with red-roofed buildings, white and pastel-colored facades, and a mix of modern and historic architecture. The sky is a mix of soft blue and warm golden hues, with scattered clouds illuminated by the setting sun.
