🚨 Heads-up: online registration is now open for the next @gfoe meeting! 🚨

It will take place in Würzburg in the first week of September. I'm planning to come with my whole #ecoevo team, so you can expect some really cool talks about #TheoreticalEcology, #EcologicalNetworks and #EcoEvoFeedback.

Who else is coming? We would love to get in touch!

Seems like we are having a lucky streak:
- Franzi is about to submit her PhD thesis 💪🏻
- Felix received excellent feedback on his first paper 💪🏻
- Simon is producing tons of exciting new simulation results 💪🏻
- Dimitris finally started his PhD adventure here in Hohenheim 💪🏻
- Rémi accepted our job offer and is planning to join the #ecoevo #modelling team in March 💪🏻
- ...and even my little coworker is in an excellent mood! 🥰

I'm a *very* proud #newPI today. 🎉

Finally, Felix‘ #ecoevo paper is back from #PeerReview:

"…this manuscript is an important contribution that almost uniquely explores the evolutionary transitions between #mutualism through #commensalism and on to #antagonism, and vice versa. […] Not only are the results strong, but some of them are surprising, and in interesting ways that will be worth exploring in future years"

Thank you! 🤩
The #preprint is available here:

bioRxiv · From friend to foe and back - Coevolutionary transitions in the mutualism-antagonism continuumInterspecific interactions evolve along a continuum ranging from mutualism to antagonism. Evolutionary theory so far focused mostly on parts of this continuum, notably on mechanisms that enable and stabilise mutualism. These mechanisms often involve partner discrimination ensuring that interaction intensity is higher with more cooperative partners. However, the gradual trajectory of coevolutionary transitions between mutualism and antagonism remains unclear. Here, we model how discrimination ability in one partner coevolves with cooperativeness in the other and analyse the resulting evolutionary trajectories in the mutualism-antagonism continuum. We show that strong ecological change, such as a radical host shift or colonisation of a new environment, can trigger transitions in both directions including back-and-forth transitions between antagonism and mutualism. Moreover, we find an evolutionary tipping point: a stable mutualism may break down to antagonism if the cost of either mutualistic service or discrimination ability gradually increases above a threshold beyond which this transition cannot be reversed by reducing costs again. Our study provides a new perspective on the evolution of biotic interactions and hence on the dynamic structure of ecological networks. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.

Alecia Carter and I are launching a new online seminar!
The aim is to bring together biologists & philosophers to explore the concept of animal agency.
A preliminary session will be held on 5 December.
Feel free share to anyone who might be interested!

I'm #hiring ! Jose Montoya and I are looking for a PhD student to join our new CNRS-funded project on theoretical & numerical modelling of the spatial and scale-dependency of biodiversity and ecosystems.

Details of project and job description in links below (project is hosted at SETE in Moulis #Ariège, France)

It's a truly interdisciplinary project, so pinging the #ecology #ecoevo #physics #FluidMechanics teams here 🙂
