Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Can We Detect Tipping Points in the Biosphere?
Q: What is a safe operating space for biodiversity?
Hillebrand emphasizes that biodiversity cannot be viewed simplistically as something that can be lost without consequences, as all species are entangled in complex interactions that support ecosystem functioning.
Can We Detect Tipping Points in the Biosphere?
Q: Can you give one very concrete example of an ecosystem where we have seen such a regime shift?
Hillebrand cites the transition from phytoplankton dominance to macrophyte dominance in shallow lakes and the shift from coral to algal dominance in reefs as examples of regime shifts related to nutrient levels.
Can We Detect Tipping Points in the Biosphere?
Q: How did you become an ecologist, and what is your motivation to do ecological research?
Helmut Hillebrand shares his journey from studying genetics to ecology, highlighting the fascination of complex interactions among organisms and the importance of understanding ecological changes.
Can We Go Back to Eden?
Q: What is it that you would like the audience to remember from this conversation?
Emma emphasizes that not all change in ecosystems represents loss and that they can adapt to human influences.
Can We Go Back to Eden?
Q: Can you tell us how you became a science writer and why do you focus on biodiversity and conservation?
Emma describes her journey from initially writing about various sciences to focusing on ecology and conservation, driven by her love for plants and fieldwork with researchers.
