📘 New #DynaTrait synthesis paper online, led by Ellen van Velzen: "Flexibility in Aquatic Food Web Interactions: Linking Scales and Approaches"

Read it here: link.springer.com/article/10.1

SpringerLinkFlexibility in Aquatic Food Web Interactions: Linking Scales and Approaches - EcosystemsTrophic interactions determine food web structure and influence biodiversity, community structure, ecosystem functioning, and food web responses to global change. These interactions are highly flexible, changing on temporal scales from diurnal to evolutionary times due to phenotypic plasticity, rapid evolution and species sorting. Small-scale experimental and theoretical studies of plankton interactions have demonstrated a high relevance of this flexibility for community dynamics and ecosystem processes in small, simplified communities. However, the extent to which this flexibility affects larger-scale systems, for example, global ocean dynamics and their responses to global change, is still poorly understood. Differences in methodology, focus and terminology between research disciplines limit our ability to project established effects of flexible trophic interactions onto larger spatial and temporal scales. We propose to bridge this gap with a general framework for upscaling knowledge from small-scale research to large-scale models. Building on examples from plankton communities, we use this framework to show how mechanisms demonstrated in small-scale studies can be linked to ecosystem functions relevant at large scales. We argue for incorporating flexibility in large-scale process-based models to improve their realism and predictive power, and discuss challenges and ways forward for achieving this. Finally, we suggest several concrete ways for upscaling small-scale studies to make their findings more relevant for large-scale research, to close existing knowledge gaps and to improve our understanding of how flexible trophic interactions affect dynamics and processes across scales.

HacksAudio : La personnalité et ses 5 traits, un concept inutile ? [PP8] - Hacking social

J'ai pris au vol cette excellente série de @Hackingsocial sur les #traits de #personnalité et la notion-même de personnalité. Je vous la recommande chaudement pour mieux comprendre le rôle que peut jouer la #psychologiesociale dans nos approches des #réseauxsociaux et de ce qu'ils nous font.

My day job is all about #genes, so I applaud the #genomic revolution in #paleontology and #evolutionary #biology. But #evolution really is more than a shift in #allele frequencies over time. It's also change in the #phenotypes those alleles produce, and their #interaction with the world around them. 🧪🖥🧬🦖

So I'm equally excited about the #quantitative revolution in describing and cataloguing #traits which until recently could only be analyzed #qualitatively. There's a whole new window opening into the history of life.

Our preprint where we test what drives the magnitude of relationships between traits and ecological responses within populations of animal species is out! 🐟🐍🐿️🐦🦞🕷️🦌

bioRxiv · Behavior Outpaces Form when Linking Traits to Ecological Responses within Populations: A Meta-AnalysisIntraspecific trait variability (ITV) is an important aspect of community ecology, but we still have a poor understanding of what drives the magnitude of relationships between ITV and ecological dynamics. In order to guide ecologists interested in unravelling the ecological implications of ITV, we asked whether relationships magnitudes differ (i) between intraspecific levels (among- vs. within- populations), (ii) among ecological responses spanning levels of biological organization (from individual performances to ecosystem functioning), and (iii) among trait categories (morphology, physiology and behavior). We performed a meta-analysis synthesizing a thousand effect sizes from nearly two-hundred studies, encompassing relationships between traits measured among individuals or populations of animals and a broad range of ecological responses. The average effect size was |r| = 0.24 \[0.20 - 0.27\] (95% confidence intervals). Within populations, relationships magnitudes were higher for ecological performance (foraging, diet), community and ecosystem responses than for fitness (reproduction). Relationships were 28% stronger for physiological and behavioral traits than for morphological traits. Our meta-analysis confirms the central aspect of ITV within populations of animals to drive ecological dynamics, and emphasizes physiological and behavioral traits to enhance the integration between the individual component of diversity and processes at community and ecosystem-levels. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.

#rustlang #tui #daw #help

so over the past week i've been #refactoring the #tui #daw again in order to make complexity more manageable and use fewer locks in the audio thread

part of this using #traits everywhere. so many traits! for every aspect of every thing. and it does simplify things!

however... picrelated. this multiple borrows issue doesn't happen on a traitless impl block where i access the fields directly. but i don't want to do that - i want the indirection. is there a workaround?

Every so often I'm struck and surprised by how enduring some of my #traits are. #Subconscious patterns, right?

I wore the #purple #bunny ears to #school on the last day of my high school career, as they call it, when I was 17.

I wore the #pink #unicorn hat to my friends' farewell gathering circa 2014 when we were about 29.

On both occasions - and true to form - I, of course, took #photos of everyone else wearing the #silly props too.
