Open-access virtual special issue on DEB: Forecasting in a changing world (2022) – Conservation Physiology (2022).  

This special issue is being assembled and has gathered 18 contributions, where some publications are already available, including the opening: Lavaud, R., Filgueira, R., & Augustine, S. (2021). The role of Dynamic Energy Budgets in conservation physiology. Conservation Physiology, 9(1), coab083. 

Planning is underway for DEB2023 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana (https://deb2023.sciencesconf.org/) with increased focus on DEB applications and integration using the new AmPtox library which is useful for toxicity analysis and ecological stress data.
