- Reposted by Jonas WickmanDoes availability of juvenile refuge affect size structure of adults? Uszko et al. show that size of streams used as nurseries impacts growth and size structure of lake trout by controlling the strength of cannibalistic mortality and resource competition. www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...
- Reposted by Jonas WickmanHappy 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...
- No more competing consumers than there are resources can coexist in equilibrium, but have you ever wondered how many consumers actually evolve as resource diversity increases? In our new paper, @chrisklausmeier.bsky.social and I investigate. (1/3) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
- We develop some new tech to deal with high-dimensional resource space, where consumers’ uptake abilities for different resources are traded off against each other. We then assemble communities for different trade-off shapes and dimensionalities, to find when diverse communities evolve. (2/3)
- We find that even in two highly symmetric models, outcomes are highly idiosyncratic with more available resources sometimes leading to lower evolved consumer diversity for the same trade-off shape. (3/3)

- Reposted by Jonas WickmanIn our latest paper in PNAS, we ask: How can scientific progress be accelerated to meet the urgent challenges of the Anthropocene? We point to significant barriers in forecasting & prediction efforts for the biosphere 🧵👇 🧪🌎🦋 1/n www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... #ScienceTwitter #Ecology #Anthropocene

Using a scaling framework, we quantify how abundance, richness, productivity & environmental variation link across life history strategies 1/n.... 🧪

- Reposted by Jonas WickmanExcited to share our new paper out in Science! We combined simulations, experiments, and field data to show how dispersal simultaneously stabilizes species and genetic diversity, which results in persistent eco-evo dynamics. doi.org/10.1126/scie...
