Congratulations Dr. Joanne Yong! ✨🎉

Joanne did her PhD in the ICBM research group “Planktology” on the topic “Spatial and temporal dynamics of microphythobenthos in the German Wadden Sea”.

Giving a Biodiversity - Ecosystem Functioning lecture in an intro ecology course for Graduate students in a couple of weeks. Does anyone have any favourite BEF papers from their classes? (bonus points if it's by historically underrepresented scholars!)

Fall retreat of the @dfg_public funded @DynaComProject at @HIFMB_OL offered discussions about traits, stability & disturbances in metacommunities, featured speedtalks by ECR and a workshop on (un)conscious biases in Academia.

Great to see this #islandbiogeography paper led by Julian Schrader out in @JBiogeography: ETIB-T: An Equilibrium Theory of Island Biogeography for plant traits

@Ana_Maria_BU presented the outline of her PhD on island biogeography. Island isolation and dispersal and resource acquisition traits affect birds on islands. Three interesting chapters are taking shape. Great work Ana Maria! @BioChangeTUM @DynaComProject

Congratulations to Swaantje Fock who #welldeserved received the environmental award of the Haarmann-Stiftung @StadtOsnabrueck. @dfg_public funded research initiatives @DynaComProject & #dynadeep strongly rely on her great work at the Wittbülten research station on #Spiekeroog.

What a great week in Prague #ESEB2022. Meeting old and new friends after so long and a perfect chance to present our work on the seasonal dynamics of a natural hybrid zone in sticklebacks🧬🐟 and patterns of introgression🔀. Next time is Barcelona! (Pic: @JuliaTVerba)

Jan Kalusche @FunBirdEco recently started his PhD project @BioChangeTUM @DynaComProject on bird distributions on islands. This morning he showed us an overview of the project, including a first glimpse of data he works on from the Wadden sea islands.

2nd research article published in BMC Ecology and Evolution, in which we investigated spatiotemporal dynamics of trophic position and allochthonous resource use in salt marsh soil macrofauna

Great start for the 2nd phase @dfg_public funded research unit @DynaComProject. Discussions and presentations in great venue @uniGoettingen shape the research to come on trait-based approaches to metacommunities in the Wadden Sea & beyond

[Maria Rinke @maria_rinke]

My first paper is now published with ecology and evolution! 😃 Despite temporal changes in abiotic conditions we found remarkable temporal stability in soil microorganisms of Wadden Sea salt marshes. @DynaComProject https://t.co/WemSIZD0TN

[Helmut Hillebrand @hhillebr1]

Almost 30 reviews on 12 papers in 48 hours - second time @dfg_public funded research unit @DynaComProject conducted a virtual writing retreat with #ECR manuscripts screened in 3 consecutive rounds. 👋 to all participants, both authors & reviewing PIs.

Now official: @DynaComProject funded for 3 more years by @dfg_public 🎉 Shootout to the great teamwork & looking forward to more trait-based metacommunity ecology in the Wadden Sea. If interested in our ideas 👉 this recent paper https://t.co/RdZVjTmDa2 📷 D. Pieck & me

[Helmut Hillebrand @hhillebr1]

Towards trait-based metacommunity ecology. 4th retreat of @dfg_public funded research unit @DynaComProject offers a glimpse of the exciting progress of the PhD students & a surge of cool papers "in the making". ➕career planning workshop ➕ad-hoc writing speed-dating

[Maria Rinke @maria_rinke]

Just submitted the first draft of my first manuscript. Feel free to check out the preprint.

Another day of hardwork in Spiekeroog. Seed traps installation and data collection, while enjoying this sunny autumn day. @KleyerLab @LohmusKertu @Daniela06414785 @tha_ecologist
