  abstract = {{R}esolving ecological patterns is challenging but fascinating as it generates new ways of looking at nature. {I} recapitulate here four independent scientific ideas that {I} developed throughout my career and that have contributed to a better understanding of the functioning of marine ecosystems. {T}he optimal environmental window relating wind intensity and fish recruitment, the extended homing strategy developing an ecology of individuals, the wasp-waist control of marine ecosystems, and the bird-forage fish interaction are the four patterns that are presented. {C}ommunicating results to a large audience is not simply an added value of a scientific career but a responsibility for scientists when considering global emerging challenges. {I} encourage young scientists to communicate in an open and organized manner, as it will contribute to changing stakeholder's views and fisheries management. {L}ove of science and ground-breaking ideas are key to scientific careers and creativity can be sustained in many ways throughout a scientist's career. {I} provide several tricks inspired by my personal experience that can help young scientists to stay innovative in the long run. {F}inally, {I} combine ecology and music, my two favourite topics, illustrating that an obstinate nature and an unexpected combination of unrelated ideas are key when dealing with research.},
