We successfully kicked-off the "Heatwave-driven rewiring of coastal food webs" project last week.
#Warming #FoodWebs #DNAtools
Thanks to all participants and collaborators!

CoastClim @coastclim.bsky.social · Jun 4

New project:
Heatwave-driven rewiring of coastal food webs, led by @skortsch.bsky.social, had a productive kick-off meeting at @tvarminne.bsky.social.
They examine how marine heatwaves reshape food webs by integrating experiments, molecular tools, and food web modeling.

Food web robustness depends on the network type and threshold for extinction

Species loss in ecological communities can trigger cascading extinctions, the extent of which likely depends on network type and extinction thresholds. Traditionally, network responses to node remova...

Does technology evolve as biology? In many ways, it does. Is it continuous or occurs in bursts? By analyzing the evolution of programming languages with @svalver.bsky.social, we found the answer. Wrok started at @sfiscience.bsky.social.
