New online! Tailoring interaction network types to answer different ecological questions

Tailoring interaction network types to answer different ecological questions

Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 13 June 2025; doi:10.1038/s44358-025-00056-7This Perspective provides guidance about how to select the most appropriate type of interaction network for different research questions in ecology. Networks can vary according to the extent of node aggregation and the information that links represent; each kind of network formulation has advantages in different contexts.

The MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships scheme is now open with a call deadline on 10 September 2025.

Come to Sheffield. It's nice and (sometimes) sunny.

Dylan Childs @dzchilds.bsky.social · Apr 10

The next call for the MSCA postdoctoral fellowships scheme opens soon. Come work with me if you're interested in anything related to biodemography and population ecology. And if you're not, consider coming to work with one of my many fine colleagues instead.

I'm quite happy that we're already handling the first submissions for our special issue in Biological Conservation devoted to ALAN impacts at larger scales, and conservation impacts. If you know anyone working on ALAN that might be interested in contributing, please share widely!

Robin Heinen @robinheinennl.bsky.social · Jan 9

I will probably be posting about this one a lot in the coming weeks: our special issue on ALAN / light pollution in Biological Conservation is now open for submissions! With @gkalinkat.bsky.social, Jacqueline Degen, and Franz Hölker.

Get simulating! #Biodiversity / #foodweb dynamics with #julialang. Classic bioenergetic model, consolidation of lots of add-ons & super fast.

Very happy to share this, a result of amazing collaborators and a rich history of model development.

Hey there #lightpollution folks, I'm teaming up with Chinese colleagues to guest edit a special issue of Journal of Urban Management on light pollution. This venue will get your work in front of international readers, and especially Chinese colleagues as engagement in #darksky issues increases.
