Presenting a poster at the @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social meeting next week? We're running a poster competition! The best poster applying modelling methods to ecological processes, species ecology, impact assessment or ERA, wins a prize from @pensoft.net #ESA2026 DM or see us at booth #614 to join!
I’m looking forward to #ESA2026 next week! I’ll be at the @pensoft booth (614) - happy to chat about #FAIR publishing and giving credit for the different stages in #modelling research
Agricultural and Environmental Modelling Journal@aem.pensoft.net · 2w agoOur team @pensoft.net & @nicole-medicole.bsky.social has been busy prepping for the @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social meeting in Salt Lake City, UT next week! We're excited & cant wait to chat with as many of you as possible about our journals. We have cool goodies at booth #614 too! #ESA2026
Looking forward to the @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social conf in Salt Lake City in a few weeks. If you’d like to learn more about publishing with @aem.pensoft.net or other @pensoft.net journals, DM me or find me at the Pensoft booth #openscience #ESA2026
Agricultural and Environmental Modelling Journal@aem.pensoft.net · last mo.If you're attending the upcoming @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social conference in Salt Lake City - chat with our Managing Editor @nicole-medicole.bsky.social at the @pensoft.net booth. Learn about publishing #FAIR models in AEM, machine learning & #openscience #modelling #ecological
Introducing the second article type in our unique 3-stage process in a Model's development: Model Testing & Calibration. This details how a model was verified and calibrated #openaccess #FAIR #agriculture #environment #ecological #modelling #publishing @pensoft.net
Formal Model - is the first article type in our unique 3-stage process in a Model’s development. It provides recognition for the foundational concepts, assumptions, and mathematical development typically required as a first formal research milestone by funders and collaborators #openaccess #FAIR
What makes #AEM unique is our innovative #FAIR #publishing of research objects in Modelling. We do this by giving credit to the 3 key stages when developing a Model. #openaccess #agriculture #environment #climate #ecological
Meet our Managing Editor @nicole-medicole.bsky.social at #ESA2026 & learn more about how we are making modelling research #FAIR + new innovative article types. Catch her at the @pensoft.net booth or reach out via @bluesky - she'll be looking out for cool posters too!
I’m looking forward to attending #ESA2026 in Salt Lake City next month. Interested in publishing FAIR ecological models? Let’s chat.

Gutted I can't be there in person. The @force11.bsky.social conference is always such a great meeting!
Scott C Edmunds@scedmunds.bsky.social · 2mo agoAt #FORCE2026 @force11.bsky.social meeting in Singapore, the pre-conference workshops are now kicking off and I’m helping Evgeny Bobrov run the Data Usage Typology WG workshop. We want this to be hands on with attendees data
🎬 Get to know us in a minute - watch the video below. 🌾 Every phase of the modelling process is genuine #scientificwork - so why should only the final paper get a citable record? AEM is a specialist journal built to change that. ⤵️ #MachineLearning #foodsystems #EnvironmentalModelling #ESP2026
🌾Researchers @au.dk have developed a #computermodel of Folsomia candida - a #soil #springtail widely used in #environmental safety testing - to better understand how populations respond to real-world conditions across #agricultural landscapes. Research in our #OA journal: doi.org/10.3897/aem....
Integrating spatial and environmental stressors in a population model of Folsomia candida (Collembola, Isotomidae): a Formal Model within ALMaSS framework
Collembola are key soil invertebrates that contribute to decomposition processes and nutrient cycling in agricultural ecosystems. Folsomia candida, a parthenogenetic euedaphic species, is widely used as a model organism in ecotoxicological testing, yet population-level responses to environmental stressors in spatially structured landscapes remain poorly understood. We present a formal model of F. candida developed using a subpopulation approach within the Animal, Landscape and Man Simulation System (ALMaSS). The model integrates stage-structured population dynamics with spatially explicit landscape processes, incorporating hourly weather data and daily soil moisture dynamics at 10 by 10 m resolution. Growth, development, reproduction, and mortality are driven by temperature, soil moisture, and food quality through empirically parameterised thermal performance curves and dose–response functions fitted to published experimental data. The model explicitly represents egg, juvenile, and adult life stages, with stage transitions and vital rates responding non-linearly to environmental conditions. Soil moisture effects are modelled using a novel integration of ERA5 reanalysis data, soil physical properties, and evapotranspiration to estimate surface soil water potential. Temperature and moisture effects are combined using a limiting-factor approach, reflecting current understanding of physiological constraints. The model is designed for simulations at subpopulation spatial scales of 100 m2, within landscapes typically 10 km × 10 km, providing a mechanistic framework for exploring F. candida population dynamics under realistic environmental heterogeneity in agricultural landscapes. This formal model documentation establishes the theoretical foundation and empirical basis for subsequent model implementation, evaluation, and application to questions in landscape ecology and environmental risk assessment.
