FW: PhD opportunity in alpine plant ecology - biologcial invasions and climate change - *deadline Feb 9th*

Dear colleagues,

 

Please help spread the word:

 

We have a vacant PhD position in plant ecology, linked to the RangeX project, assessing the drivers and biodiversity and ecosystem-level impacts of range-expanding species into alpine areas. The project is cross-disciplinary (plant ecology, soil science, pollination ecology) and comparative (experiments in Norway, Switzerland, South Africa and China).  Cool experiments, global datasets, new technological solutions, and a very good project team – what’s not to like?

The job is in Bergen, and our experiment is at Voss, with funding from BiodiversaPlus, and close collaboration with good colleagues and students in Switzerland, South Africa, Sweden, Denmark, France and China, so there will be a lot of international collaboration and opportunities for comparative studies across regions.

Link to our web pages where you can find descriptions of  the project and team :https://rangex.w.uib.no/

Oikos meeting workshop "reindeer grazing and models"

Hi,

This is just a reminder to register for our workshop on implementing reindeer grazing into models. It will take place during the Oikos meeting on Monday 30 Jan at 13-14.30, Wallenberg Conference Centre in Gothenburg. More information below.

 

All the best,

Robert

Incorporating Arctic grazers into ecosystem models: a way forward

Organizer: Robert Björk and Johan Olofsson

Presenter: Fredrik Lagergren, Lund University

Date and time: Jan 30th 13.00

Length: 1.5 h

Reindeer can shape tundra vegetation by reducing the biomass of preferred forage species such as lichens as well as mitigating climate driven vegetation changes, such as the upward shift of lowland plants and shrub expansion. Yet, only a few efforts on incorporating herbivore effects into ecosystem models exist. Here, we will present a newly developed grazing module and result from some simulations using the LPJ-GUESS model, which is a 2nd generation Dynamic Global Vegetation Model. The overall objective of the workshop is to share knowledge among grazer researchers and model developers, inform on the ongoing research, and evaluate current developments using the LPJ-GUESS model and identify a way forward. Ultimately, the workshop could aid planning future field studies to serve the needs of models and result in the development of mechanistic model with a stronger empirical foundation.

Data visualization workshop at Oikos Gothenburg meeting

Final call for signing up for the data visualization workshop on Monday (Jan 30th) at the Swedish Oikos conference in Gothenburg! Please send me an email if you'd like to sign up. More info below!

 

Storytelling with Data: Data visualisation meets graphic design to tell scientific stories

 

The workshop will go through the elements of a great graph, how to use colour, layout, shapes and more to tell a story with your figures and will then go into a coding tutorial. Storytelling and dataviz are both very fun topics, so we'd like the workshop to be a jolly opportunity for all of us to pause and reflect on how to better communicate our research and maximise the impact of our figures. Regardless of how much (or little) artistic flair you have, there are many ways to make your graphs catchier and more exciting and we look forward to sharing some of them during the workshop.

 

To make the most of the workshop, please do the following prep in advance.

  • Charge your laptop, download R and RStudio and check that they are broadly functioning. If you are not able to bring a laptop, please let us know and we can try to figure something out. We will have extension cords but not enough for every person to be plugged in.
  • Install the following R packages in advance. It can be very frustrating if instead of making figures, you are stuck trying to install packages and depending on your laptop, there could be some unforeseen issues, so it's best to try solving them in advance. You can install the packages using the following code:

 

  • install.packages("tidyverse")
  • install.packages("ggthemes")
  • install.packages("ggrepel")
  • install.packages("viridis")
  • install.packages("broom")
  • install.packages("devtools")
  • devtools::install_github("eliocamp/ggalt@new-coord-proj")

 

  • Note that you can first check if you have the packages installed already using library(), e.g. library(tidyverse)

 

  • The ggalt package is the usual trouble maker among these packages. Installing the specific version outlined above from GitHub has worked for many people. If you are not one of them and have tried troubleshooting (e.g., you can google the errors you get) with no luck, you can email gndaskalova@gmail.com for extra help. And if nothing really works, it's just a package, in the workshop we will only use it to change the projection of a map so it's not the most key thing.
  • Think of a memorable image that has left a lasting impression on you (it could be from a paper, the media, an infographic, a photo, a drawing, anything visual) and insert it in this google doc (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zUXlIbEMAJgINW-CEZXHE_B7Q5L0JRkb2HYzngUBcKM/edit?usp=sharing ) together with one sentence text about what made the image memorable for you. Please be careful not to delete other people's images as you insert your own.
  • Bring along a figure you have made, together with a one sentence summary of the key message you want to communicate with the figure. The sentence should have a verb and be specific, e.g., instead of "Histogram of population trends after forest loss." You could say "Vertebrate species experienced similar amounts of population declines as increases after forest loss." The figures don't need to be brilliant or a finished and polished product, but if you do bring some kind of a figure (saved on your laptop is fine), there will be an opportunity to get feedback on it from Gergana. Sharing figures with people who are not directly involved in your research can be a great way to get a fresh perspective and new ideas.

 

If you haven't used R much or at all, you can complete the following tutorial in advance of the conference workshop https://ourcodingclub.github.io/tutorials/intro-to-r/ and that should prepare you fine enough for what's to come in the workshop.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
Anne and Gergana

Postdoc on resilience of biological pest control

Hi all,

I am excited to announce that I’m recruiting a new postdoc to work with:

Agrobiodiversity and pest control resilience

The project will address resilience of biological pest control services against agricultural disturbances and against climate change.

The postdoc will study how landuse at different scales determines community structure of invertebrate predators, and how this in turn affects the resilience of pest control services in agricultural fields. The postdoc will lead the Swedish part of a landscape-scale field study across a north-south European gradient, will conduct lab experiments in controlled climate chambers, and will participate in stakeholder workshops. Already existing data is also available. The project includes close collaboration with researchers at SLU, University of Giessen, Germany, University of Verona, Italy, University of Insbruck, Austria and Vilnius University, Lithuania.

For more info and how to apply:
https://www.slu.se/en/about-slu/work-at-slu/jobs-vacancies/?rmpage=job&rmjob=7792&rmlang=UK

Deadline 15 February.
