Theoretical Ecology podcasts

Diego Vázquez explores networks of plant-pollinator interactions and what determines which species interact. The conversation contrasts coevolutionary explanations with neutral models driven by abundance, examines the limits of prediction, and considers long-term bee monitoring and the challenges of maintaining ecological research in Argentina.

Hosted by Marty Martin, John Drake

Daniel Simberloff discusses biological invasions, ecological theory and evidence from field experiments. The conversation explores how introduced species alter communities and ecosystems, and how long-running research informs conservation and management decisions.

Jancitha Ellers, Enrico Rezende and Wilco Verberk join Cameron Ghalambor to discuss predicting ecological responses to warming. Topics include measuring heat tolerance in ectotherms, integrating trait data and improving models of species responses to high temperatures. The conversation was recorded around a predictive-ecology symposium in Granada.
