Shamelessly stealing a figure by postdoc fellow Kevin Archibald today because I want to shout out his very cool new paper in JTB. Kevin’s work shows a tradeoff between speed of acclimation and maximal growth in mixotrophs. Read more at: doi.org/10.1016/j.jtbi…

Collecting #biodiversity data is a cornerstone of #conservation research, but how do we know when we have enough to act? Check out our new paper in Methods in Ecology and Evolution

Congratulations Dr Matthew Holden on being named a 2024 QLD Young Tall Poppy! As a mathematician, Dr. Holden reduces environmental problems to their most essential components and uses the power of mathematics to reveal fundamental principles of effective management. #ytp24

Such a great honour! An achievement made possible by our project members and over 130 (and growing) collaborators translatesciences.com/people/ Hopefully I can meet some of you at the meeting.

Our paper is published today in nature journal! If you want to know more about how communities interact across habitats and interaction types, and their effects on ecosystem functioning and stability, the paper is here🔽 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Only briefly read the methods but it based on correlations between WNS and the response. The correlations do include the effect of before and after becoming WNS infected, so that would make the evidence a bit stronger than a typical study which is a single snapshot.

New paper, led by Leonardo Feitosa 🦈🇧🇷, with @ChrisFree14 & Steve Gaines, in FishandFisheries: "Synergies between price and life history enhance extinction risk in open-access fisheries". (Wonky) THREAD 1/ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/fa…

You can lose the US presidential election with 78% of the popular vote (at least theoretically). The electoral college system is so strange. mathemagicalconservation.wordpress.com/2024/09/19/you…

“Back in my day, it was almost impossible to find solutions to our homework problems on the internet. So we had to learn the material and solve them ourselves!”

Here's a recent paper in #BulletinMathBio on Revisiting Fishery Sustainability Targets by Vincent Cattoni, @LeahFSouth, David James Warne, @cboettig, Bhavya Thakran, and Matthew Holden 🏳️‍🌈 @matthholden.bsky.social. link.springer.com/article/10.100…
