Glad this is out Journal of Animal Ecology . We look at how the type and strength of species interaction could impact predictability of population collapses using a eco-evo dynamical approach and stability-landscape curves. We find that some species show strong signals while others dont.

What are the intergenerational effects of early-life starvation on life history, consumption, and transcriptome of Athalia rosae (turnip sawfly), a holometabolous insect? Find out in The American Naturalist, published for @ASNAmNat: ow.ly/b1ws50JGiih

"State dependency of behavioural traits is a function of the life stage in a holometabolous insect" Pragya Singh et al tested how state dependency of behaviour varies with life stage using starvation. #behaviouralplasticity #conditiondependentbehaviour sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

How does starvation affect your behaviour? Can depend on your developmental stage! Our paper is out! We show that state dependency of behaviour can vary with life-stage of an individual and even show contrasting effects. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

If you are working with insects and need histological techniques have a look at this great new book. Benjamin Weiss, technician and histology expert in the Insect Symbiosis Lab published the book based on his many years of experience in the field! shaker.de/de/content/cat…

Happy to share this research out Journal of Animal Ecology with a Bsc student Tim on resilience & co-evolutionary dynamics of mutualistic networks to rise in temperature. Funded by DFG public | @[email protected]. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Out now Journal of Animal Ecology with Bsc student Tim on resilience of different mutualistic networks in response to increasing temperature. Some networks adapt better and become more resilient than others, depending on the arrangement of species interactions. Funded by DFG public | @[email protected]

How to revive a collapsed mutualistic #EcologicalNetwork? Gaurav &co use signal propagation theory & eco-evo model based on 115 empirical plant-#pollinator networks to reveal that effort should be focused on one or a few key species #PLOSBiology plos.io/3zLV0tU
