P.S. If you are at @SFE2_2024 next week: Thomas Kosc is presenting this work Tuesday 4pm in the "Theoretical Ecology and Modelling" session, and Sylvain Charlat and I will be at the conference. Come discuss!

In our view, switches between stable states may be a form of proto-mutation that might be sufficient to initiate the endless process of evolution by natural selection. (13/n)

OK I'm a bit out of my comfort zone on this one! We investigated how to efficiently detect autocatalytic cycles in an abiotic soup, and how to assess if they can effectively self-amplify: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. A thread (1/n)

❓ Et si… Nos émissions de #GES avaient culminé au début du siècle ? 📈 Cette #infographie de Carbon Brief permet de bien comprendre le coût de la procrastination climatique : un sevrage de plus en plus brutal au fil des mois où l’on temporise nos engagements.

Curious about short-term dynamics of natural selection? Wondering how they differ from long-term ones? Our article with @ten_olivier is out now! @PNASNews pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107… A quick thread 🧵

New preprint! Really happy with how this turned out. Hana knocked it out of the park. Colab with @cmarti_ga and @TheDMMcC biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

A reminder that we have openings for postdoc scientists in our group. We particularly welcome theorists interested in quantitatively connecting community composition & function. *4+yrs of fully funded contract in Spain *Close collab w/ experimentalists in our group.
