Another day of hardwork in Spiekeroog. Seed traps installation and data collection, while enjoying this sunny autumn day. @KleyerLab @LohmusKertu @Daniela06414785 @tha_ecologist

Just submitted the first draft of my first manuscript. Feel free to check out the preprint. DynaCom ResearchGate: researchgate.net/publication/35…

Towards trait-based metacommunity ecology. 4th retreat of DFG public | @[email protected] funded research unit DynaCom offers a glimpse of the exciting progress of the PhD students & a surge of cool papers "in the making". ➕career planning workshop ➕ad-hoc writing speed-dating

Now official: DynaCom funded for 3 more years by DFG public | @[email protected] 🎉 Shootout to the great teamwork & looking forward to more trait-based metacommunity ecology in the Wadden Sea. If interested in our ideas 👉 this recent paper onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ec… 📷 D. Pieck & me

Please RT! Interested in #island #plants? Want to apply macroecological methods to unique databases to learn how floras assemble? We have a vacant, fully funded PhD position in functional island biogeography BioGeo Göttingen in the @DynaCom project. see: tinyurl.com/37svshas

Almost 30 reviews on 12 papers in 48 hours - second time DFG public | @[email protected] funded research unit DynaCom conducted a virtual writing retreat with #ECR manuscripts screened in 3 consecutive rounds. 👋 to all participants, both authors & reviewing PIs.

My first paper is now published with ecology and evolution! 😃 Despite temporal changes in abiotic conditions we found remarkable temporal stability in soil microorganisms of Wadden Sea salt marshes. DynaCom doi.org/10.1002/ece3.8…

2nd research article published in BMC Ecology and Evolution, in which we investigated spatiotemporal dynamics of trophic position and allochthonous resource use in salt marsh soil macrofauna doi.org/10.1186/s12862… BMC Series DynaCom Schutzstation Wattenmeer e.V. #foodweb #saltmarsh

Great start for the 2nd phase DFG public | @[email protected] funded research unit DynaCom. Discussions and presentations in great venue Uni Göttingen shape the research to come on trait-based approaches to metacommunities in the Wadden Sea & beyond

Jan Kalusche @FunBirdEco recently started his PhD project @BioChangeTUM DynaCom on bird distributions on islands. This morning he showed us an overview of the project, including a first glimpse of data he works on from the Wadden sea islands.

What a great week in Prague #ESEB2022. Meeting old and new friends after so long and a perfect chance to present our work on the seasonal dynamics of a natural hybrid zone in sticklebacks🧬🐟 and patterns of introgression🔀. Next time is Barcelona! (Pic: Julia)

Congratulations to Swaantje Fock who #welldeserved received the environmental award of the Haarmann-Stiftung Stadt Osnabrück. DFG public | @[email protected] funded research initiatives DynaCom & #dynadeep strongly rely on her great work at the Wittbülten research station on #Spiekeroog.

Ana María Bastidas U presented the outline of her PhD on island biogeography. Island isolation and dispersal and resource acquisition traits affect birds on islands. Three interesting chapters are taking shape. Great work Ana Maria! @BioChangeTUM DynaCom

Great to see this #islandbiogeography paper led by Julian Schrader out in Biogeography.News: ETIB-T: An Equilibrium Theory of Island Biogeography for plant traits onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jb…

Fall retreat of the DFG public | @[email protected] funded DynaCom at HIFMB 🪼 @hifmb.bsky.social offered discussions about traits, stability & disturbances in metacommunities, featured speedtalks by ECR and a workshop on (un)conscious biases in Academia.

#JobAlert 2-year #Postdoc Position in Multiple Climate Change Stressors and #Coral Eco-physiology available in my lab 🎓University of Amsterdam 🇳🇱 Amsterdam, The Netherlands ⏰11 Dec 2022 ℹ️ shorturl.at/sX567 Please retweet widely!

Giving a Biodiversity - Ecosystem Functioning lecture in an intro ecology course for Graduate students in a couple of weeks. Does anyone have any favourite BEF papers from their classes? (bonus points if it's by historically underrepresented scholars!)

🐟🐳FRIENDS OF THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT 🐳🐟 Full of anticipation, we announce the Call for Abstracts for ICYMARE 2023 OLDENBURG, a conference designed by and for young marine researchers. You can find more information about submission guidelines on our website linked below!

Congratulations Dr. Joanne Yong! ✨🎉 Joanne did her PhD in the ICBM research group “Planktology” on the topic “Spatial and temporal dynamics of microphythobenthos in the German Wadden Sea”.
