One can quantify diversity of a sample by the number of species found (species richness). But this is a poor metric for diversity. Often we are interested in the diversity of ecological function, but for this we need to quantify the functional differences between species.

In many cases we don't know the properties of the species, so all we have to work with are their abundances in different samples. A crude idea is that species that occur together must also be similar -- there are many ecological problems with this, but we can fix them ...

Concert #249 of fabulous #JazzinLeer series starts with sad news: 30 yrs of extremely well curated music end soon bc of shortsighted organisational decisions. Then Sebastian Gille, Christian Ramond & Klaus Kugel exemplarily show what this series is about: freedom, power & empathy

Concert #250: a very exciting jubileum for #JazzinLeer with the first gig of Dave Rempis Trio with Elisabeth Harnik & Michael Zerang on their current Europe tour.

re-posting this postdoc opportunity: if you love working on cool ecological questions using novel data and enjoy a bit of programming (=great fun!) we extended the deadline to Nov 13: recruitingapp-5128.de.umantis.com/Vacancies/2557… and it is at iDiv + UFZ in Leipzig

Opportunity: exchange program for PhD students & postdocs in the marine sciences between Institute for Coastal & Marine Research Mandela University and @UniOldenburg ICBM_uol | @icbm-uol.bsky.social HIFMB 🪼 @hifmb.bsky.social with special emphasis on family-friendly conditions. Details & application see below. Funded by #MWKNiedersachsen.

Should I stay or should I go? Seems to be a frequent question at this place. I started exploring the 🐘 site & 👍 it. I can be found at #Mastodon as @[email protected] - for now it's an 'also found'.

What an honour to receive the Laws Prize for my PhD work at British Antarctic Survey 🐧 and Dept of Zoology 🥳 Thanks to everyone who tuned in and to everyone who let (and still lets) me to follow my nose when it came to my research - General Sir John Monash Foundation Polar Alien Hunters and now HIFMB 🪼 @hifmb.bsky.social AWI Media

The planned TA project SITES AquaNet is a follow-up to the experiment I participated in this summer in Sweden. By simulating the same run-off scenarios in spring 2023, the upcoming experiment enables a comparison between seasons and different starting communities.

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.

Thankful to our Advisory Board for a lively and constructive 2 days 🙌 in Paris 🇫🇷! Biodiversa+ is happy to count on your support and suggestions💡

Great project in a unique ecosystem with a fantastic supervisor - this position has all you can wish for.

Amazing opportunity for a #postdoc to work in a very nice team in the Netherlands with one of the brightest #plankton researcher!
