@NDemalach @BecksSpake @LauraEllenDee Thanks for pointing this one out! Definitely adding the paper to my "to-read" list

[Niv DeMalach @NDemalach]

1/🔍Can we reach generalizations using #metaanalysis? Just had my mind blown by this must-read paper by @BecksSpake et al. that made me rethink many papers of mine. @LauraEllenDee #Ecology @BandNir (https://t.co/6NvbMQlbWT)

(1/6) Can we detect causality in observational studies? Let's explore three methods leading to contradicting results (CCM, SEM and an econometric approach). #CausalityDebate #ResearchMethods #DataAnalysis #ScientificDebate

Cool new paper about the mechanisms underlying plant species loss, check it out!
And congrats to Cheng et al. #plantecology #nitrogen #competitionforlight #speciesdiversity

[Allan Ecology Group @AllanEcology]

Latest research by visiting PHD student Yikang Cheng - light competition is the main mechanism driving species loss following N addition 🌿

@DCRMameri Good luck!

[Niv DeMalach @NDemalach]

(1/4) Why does nitrogen enrichment reduce species performance? Is it because of competitive exclusion or due to nitrogen-specific detrimental effects (e.g., toxicity, acidification)? @Oikos_Journal https://t.co/hjn5DymstA

@annekempel @annaliisalaine @Ecology_Letters Looking forward to reading this one!

[Omri Finkel עמרי عُمري @finkel_omri]

JOB ALERT! Soil microbiome research.
We are recruiting computational and experimental postdocs and PhD students for an @ERC_Research funded project on the rhizosphere microbiome.

@SaraTomiolo @TielboergerLab Congrats!!!

@PierreMariotte @JEcology @AllanEcology @annekempel Check out this cool highlights piece by @PierreMariotte. Way to go, @MalteJochum, Katja Irob (@tietjenlab), @heidi_mod, and @annaliisalaine, for being mentioned by name; I entirely agree your talks were excellent!

[Niv DeMalach @NDemalach]

Please RT: exciting postdoc opportunity on a timely question: When are we expecting alternative stable states (catastrophic regime shifts once passing a tipping point)?

[Florian Altermatt @florianaltermatt.bsky.social @altermatt_lab]

Our new paper @PNASNews is addressing a long-standing question in #ecology, #biodiversity sciences and #conservation biology:
How do multiple #species #coexist in fragmented landscapes?

@DCRMameri Keynote at #SaltLakeCity #INTECOL2026
😁

[Nir Band @BandNir]

The last day of @intecol2022, but definitely no decline in quality!
A great plenary in the morning by the esteemed Peter Chesson, followed by a remarkable presentation by @karo_daniel, and now looking forward to a plenary by Christian Körner soon. What a day!

[Nir Band @BandNir]

Can't believe how fast time goes by @intecol2022. Tomorrow it's my turn to present my study! Join me in room 1 (floor -1) at 9:45 and hear about why high levels of soil resources cause biodiversity loss. See you there :)

[Nir Band @BandNir]

Just heard a great talk from @KorellLotte, describing her fantastic experiment about the effects antagonists have on plant and how these effects interact with climate change. Very curious about this work and looking forward to the upcoming paper. Another gem @intecol2022!

[Nir Band @BandNir]

Stumbled upon this very interesting discussion, initiated by @bolkerb. @NDemalach, had to share this with you and I'm very curious about your take.

[Nir Band @BandNir]

@PierreMariotte @intecol2022 @tietjenlab Superb!

[Nir Band @BandNir]

@ajtnarwani Her poster is great! interesting to see what would result from the following pairwise competition experiments

[Nir Band @BandNir]

@franckcourchamp @intecol2022 @Camille_Bernery very well done!
