Mathematical Models in Ecology and Evolution | University College Cork Learn, Study and Research in UCC, Ireland's first 5 star university. Our tradition of independent thinking will prepare you for the world and the workplace in a vibrant, modern, green campus.

For the MMEE 2026 in Cork www.ucc.ie/en/matsci/ev... note the updated deadline!

Submission of talks and poster presentations: March 30th, 2026.

Claudia Bank's (@cbank.bsky.social) research group, Theoretical Ecology and Evolution (THEE) is now on Bluesky! I posted a thread showing some of the group's publications from 2025 to get the account going. Please consider following the group for updates related to ecology and evolution 😀

Can interactive web apps help biology students become better modellers?

We're running an ethics-approved, pre-registered study thanks to funding from the University of Bern.

Are you lecturing in the Spring?
Contact me to receive the survey link!

A new (and improved) version of the fantastic BES’s reproducible code guide is now live.

Seriously amazing resource for those wanting to produce code that enables reproducible research.

Featuring some SORTEE members and also code review!!

Don't ask “when is it coevolution?”—ask “how?” Abstract. Coevolution has come to be widely understood as specific, simultaneous, reciprocal adaptation by pairs of interacting species. This strict-sense

It's in print! My opinionated dive into the definition of "coevolution" is officially out in the December issue of @journal-evo.bsky.social

I wrote a guide on constructive peer review. This is a polished version of an internal guide I had for my group. Of course, constructive feedback is welcome, peers!

@eseb.bsky.social would be amazing to see the diversity in this eseb eo card truly more reflected in the list of plenary and invited speakers of this conference!

The evolution of local adaptation in long-lived species Abstract. Many species experience heterogeneous environments and adapt genetically to local conditions. The extent of such local adaptation depends on a ba

My paper with @schmidmax.bsky.social and @charlesmullon.bsky.social is out in @journal-evo.bsky.social 🌟 doi.org/10.1093/evol... 🌟 We show how the effect of longevity on local adaptation, rather than being unidirectional, depends on the life cycle and how frequent selection is relative to dispersal

Check out my first PhD paper on between-species genetic interactions (intergenomic epistasis) with @cbank.bsky.social 🌿↔️🦠✨ We define intergenomic epistasis mathematically and highlight its potential in understanding co-evolution :)
