Very happy that Hamza Shafiq recently joined my group as a PhD student. With a background in biophysics, Hamza will study the movement behaviour of predators and prey and how it affects their trophic interaction: frank-pennekamp.info/people/curre...

Does body size predict abundance the same way in all environments, as predicted by the Metabolic theory of Ecology? Our new study challenges this assumption. Read it here: 📄 doi.org/10.1111/ele....

Biodiversity modulates the cross‐community scaling relationship in changing environments
Organismal abundance typically declines with increasing body size, with metabolic theory predicting a universal size–abundance slope of –0.75. Using protist microcosms across gradients of species ric...

New paper out in Ecology Letters! “The Imbalance of Nature: The Role of Species Environmental Responses for Community Stability” 📖 Read it here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... We tried to answer the question: What drives community stability in fluctuating environments?

The Imbalance of Nature: The Role of Species Environmental Responses for Community Stability
This study shows that the distribution of species' fundamental responses to environmental change, quantified by a new metric, imbalance, is a key driver of ecological stability. In a large microcosm ...
