📖Published📖 In our new Application article, Markowska et al. present a new open-source R package called rangr, which integrates population dynamics and dispersal into a mechanistic virtual species simulator. Read more here 👇 buff.ly/4hBRTVH

In our new paper in @Ecology_Letters we apply modern coexistence theory to higher order species interactions where we compute niche and fitness differences as changin over time Thanks to Agnieszka Majer, Anna Skoracha (not on twitter) and @L_Kuczynski doi.org/10.1111/ele.14… 1/7

Decades of national and EU agricultural and commercial policies have led to an unsustainable agricultural model, prioritizing profit over sustainability. Farmers face immense pressure to increase yield at all costs, while the true cost of food production remains hidden. Farmers are not just stewards of the land; they are providers of our most important common good: food. Transitioning to agroecological, local food systems benefits both farmers and the environment. It's time to prioritize viability, and well-being. We are calling for a common vision for the future of EU food systems, rooted in ecological knowledge and innovation. The cost of inaction is simply too high for current and future generations. We must align agricultural policies with sustainability goals and the EU Green Deal, and involve all food system actors in this transition.

It was the hottest September on record by a huge margin, per @CopernicusECMWF. Since June we have seen extraordinary land and sea-surface temperatures. Antarctic sea ice record low. 2023 is on track to be the warmest year on record. #StateofClimate 🔗bit.ly/3RN9oZA

Kasia Malinowska from our team is presenting the poster at #EOU2023 on a new method for generating a dynamic virtual species with a focus on increasing ecological realism. @MethodsEcolEvol | doi.org/10.1111/2041-2…

Michał Wawrzynowicz from our team had the unique opportunity to present his poster on factors influencing breeding aggregation in the Northern Lapwing at the 14th Congress of the European Ornithologists' Union. Thank you very much for the interest and the many questions! #EOU2023

📰 Published📰 Malinowska et al. present a new method for generating a dynamic virtual species that focuses on increasing the ecological realism of the simulated data by incorporating statistical properties that characterize the original system. ️⬇️ buff.ly/3rGp2e5
