Europe's Summer of Reckoning is "Just the Beginning": Article in @nytimes.com with statements from J. Rockström, @frediotto.bsky.social & myself. We should realise that such extreme summers will get even worse if we continue to burn fossil fuels. @usyseth.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/07/29/w...

Europe’s Summer of Reckoning Is ‘Just the Beginning’

The continent is experiencing some of its biggest fires and highest temperatures ever. Residents are fleeing, leaders are struggling to respond and “it will get worse,” one climate expert said.

Sublinear #DensityDependence is widely reported empirically, but is at odds with theory. @jamesaorr.bsky.social &co use a tightly controlled test in a microbial model system to reveal superlinear density dependence, so aligning empirical evidence with theory @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4vwAmEZ

What a wonderful visit! Thank you Savi for hosting me, very excited about the ideas we discussed! Now time to write 🤩

Sicilian sunshine, science, and plenty of new amazing ideas 🌊☀️🔬 A big thanks to @giuliaghedini.bsky.social for spending time with us in Sicily and for sharing her fascinating experimental results on how species size, metabolism, and demography affect phytoplankton community assembly and stability🔬🦠

Spent the last two years developing a new Intro to Physics course for undergrad biology majors. It features tons of examples from biology (especially Ecology & Evolution!) and requires only middle school-level math. Lecture note here shorturl.at/0PiVp Any comments or feedback are highly welcome!

Lab finally reunited in Barcelona at the #GRCmarinemicrobes, what a great week! And perfect timing to celebrate Daniela who won best poster at the #EMBOworkshop #rulesofthegame 🥳 @alheinrichs.bsky.social

Thanks everyone for the chance to talk and the thoughtful discussion after. I mentioned to @giuliaghedini.bsky.social that this work drew from a Frank paper linking information theory and natural selection. I'd be happy to chat more about this more at some point. stevefrank.org/reprints-pdf...

Happy to see our analysis on scaling up temperature x nutrient interactions from populations to communities published in Ecological Monographs @esajournals.bsky.social! 📈

Colin Kremer@quant-ecology.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Ecologists recognize the importance of integrating across scales, yet our models often target specific scales. Our new paper presents models of population growth that scale up to explain community-level patterns, including interactions of temperature, light & nutrients. doi.org/10.1002/ecm....

Follow up to our experimental evolution work asking how #phytoplankton evolve in response to #competition. While life history traits evolved very similarly with intra and interspecific competitors, in #ProcB we show that competition history impacts how these species interact doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

Giulia Ghedini@giuliaghedini.bsky.social · last yr.

Happy to share our new paper! We tested how species evolve in response to #competition. We tracked the evolution of 3 #phytoplankton species, evolved alone or together. Our main finding is that #density-dependence weakens through #evolution to increase population production. doi.org/10.1002/ece3...
