Ever since I read about the beaver story in Czech Republic, I am a massive beaver fanboy. They are at it again. 🦫

Excited to share our new preprint on noise and determinism in Trinidadian guppy population dynamics! Thanks to all collaborators: Ron, Joe, Arshed, Dave & Simon. We develop a framework for quantifying how stochasticity alters equilibrium structure, stability and vulnerability to perturbations. 1/5

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

Google's NotebookLM is one of the few times that AI has pleasantly surprised me. Especially with its new feature of creating slide-decks from sources you upload, it's an incredible tool for self-study.

I recently learned that people may be using em-dashes (—) as one of the tell-tale signs for AI generated text. Now I have to consciously avoid using them in emails etc. I liked my em-dashes! 😞

Nabeel et al. present a method to derive models of theoretical ecology from stochastic time series data. This data-driven method may help empirical tests of ecological theories and to discover unknown principles. Read now ahead of print! www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

Abstract Theoretical studies have shown that stochasticity can affect the dynamics of ecosystems in counterintuitive ways. However, without knowing the equations governing the dynamics of populations ...

We finally got a ChatGPT generated review on a manuscript. So I wrote about how we handle these reviews is a sign of whether we have given up on peer review altogether.

ChatGPT is not my peer. It should not review my papers.

So elegant! Back in the day when I was a CS masters student, streaming algorithms were of my favorite things in our graduate algorithms course.

This past week, I had a pleasure to attend and teach a tutorial session at the ICTS-ICTP Winter School on Quantitative Systems Biology. Fascinating school, opened my eyes to the amazing world of theoretical community ecology.
