Extrapolate ‘up’
Energy budget provides: – consistent life-history traits– as function of the environment
Simple link to existing population models

Individual-based models
DEB-IBM, Martin et al. (2012)Every individual is a DEB individual
– stochasticity through mortality and feeding
Advantages– interaction with food, time-varying conditions– species differ mainly in parameter values …

Extrapolate ‘up’
Energy budget provides link to population models– Euler-Lotka and IBMs are suitable candidate
Can we continue this to ecosystem level? How to utilise ‘down’?

Final words
We need mechanistic models for effects– to link fate models to environmental impacts– move away from descriptive statistics
Individual as central level of organisation– energy budget is an essential element– interaction between traits and with environment
Much more work is needed ….– collaboration across disciplines– focus on simplified mechanisms– focus on generality
