Crassostrea virginica - The eastern oyster
We are organising a new Virtual Special Issue (VSI) in the peer reviewed journal Ecological Modelling on new advances and applications in the Dynamic Energy Budget theory linked to the 2023 International Symposium and School.
Guest Editors are: Romain Lavaud (managing editor), Starrlight Augustine, Konstadia Lika, Tin Klanjšček, Ramón Filgueira.
The provisional themed title of the VSI is "Metabolic Organisation across Scales of Space and Time".
As we enter the anthropocene and are now crossing dangerous planetary boundaries, numerical modelling is a critical tool that scientists, managers, and stakeholders need to assess the effects of these changes. Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) theory allows building families of related models that are rooted in a mechanistic description of the individual metabolic processes, which is crucial to connecting functional traits to predictive variables, therefore, ensuring the adaptability of models to changing conditions. This virtual special issue calls for studies including the latest advances applying DEB theory to real world problems, including new theoretical advances of the theory.
The VSI also welcomes critical views on the theory, as well as contributions outside of what is presented at this 8th International Symposium on DEB theory.

Instructions for submission:
The submission portal for this journal is located at: https://www.editorialmanager.com/ecomod/default1.aspx. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the special issue, it is important that authors select VSI:DEB2023 when they reach the Article Type step in the submission process.
The submission portal is now closed, but you can still submit your manuscript to the journal as part of regular issues.
There were eight previous Special Issues on DEB theory:
Virtual special issue on DEB: Forecasting in a changing world - Conservation Physiology (2022)
