🌿 Our next #InvasiveAlienSpecies is Crassula helmsii, the New Zealand Pygmyweed. It can rapidly overgrow ponds through asexual reproduction and does not die back in winter. 🌱Due to its persistent growth, it outcompetes other plants for light and resources, potentially lowering water oxygenation.

🐌 Today's #InvasiveAlienSpecies is Cipangopaludina chinensis, the Chinese Mystery Snail. 🟢 It can outcompete many native snails, alter water quality and algae diversity, and act as a potential parasite host. ⚪ There are also concerns about it clogging water pipes and attacking fish eggs.

📢 A 90-day public review and comment period has been opened for the new conceptual model and Data Package Guide for #DarwinCore Have your say until 16 December! 🔗 Learn more: www.tdwg.org/news/2025/pu...

🎞️ On 27 August, a media feature on the CamAlien was shown on Belgian national television, bringing attention to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the detection of invasive alien species. 👀 Watch the video: www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/ki... 🔎 Read more: onestop-project.eu/news/camalie...

👉 Meet Cherax destructor, the Common Yabby. 🐚 This #InvasiveAlienSpecies is a generalist, adaptive, and opportunistic omnivore that can quickly invade new areas and outcompete other crayfish. 🟤 It's a prolific breeder, and its burrowing activities can cause damage to riverbanks and infrastructure.

🔎 The #InvasiveAlienSpecies we focus on today is Cervus nippon, the Sika Deer. 🦌 Overgrazing by these deer can lead to substantial environmental and economic damage, particularly to crops. 🔴 They are quite aggressive, directly competing and sometimes even hybridising with native red deer.

🦫 The next #InvasiveAlienSpecies of Union concern is the Castor canadensis, or the American Beaver. 🌿 It directly competes with the native European beaver, occupying the same ecological niche. 🟤 With its higher reproduction rate, it increases the risk of extinction for the native beaver species.

🏵️ Today's #InvasiveAlienSpecies is Broussonetia papyrifera, the Paper Mulberry. 🌲 This plant is a swift coloniser of disturbed areas, including forests. 🍂 It can form extensive, dense stands through spreading root systems, and its pollen is highly allergenic. #SpeciesofUnionConcern #IASinEurope

🐜 Introducing Brachyponera chinensis, the Asian Needle Ant. 🟢 This #InvasiveAlienSpecies is highly adaptive and competitive. 🟤 Its introduction can lead to it outcompeting local native ant species, which may result in reduced biodiversity and a decline in crucial ecosystem services.

🦫 Submit your abstract for the ESENIAS and DIAS Scientific Conference and 14th ESENIAS workshop on “Invasive alien species in a changing climate: challenges for ecosystem resilience” by 30 August 2025 📅 30 September – 3 October 📍 Bucharest, Romania ➡️ Learn more: esenias2025.usamv.ro/home

🔎Our next #InvasiveAlienSpecies from the Union List is Bipalium kewense, the Shovel-headed Garden Worm. 🪱This species preys on earthworms, which are vital for healthy soil ecosystems. 🦠 It can also carry parasitic nematodes and may cause irritation to domestic animals if ingested. #IASinEurope

⭐ Meet Asterias amurensis, the North Pacific Sea Star. This #InvasiveAlienSpecies can rapidly multiply and significantly impact juvenile bivalve populations, affecting both mariculture and native biodiversity. 🐠 Its presence in Europe has been linked to the decline of the spotted handfish.

📣On 14 August, @luke.fi hosted a workshop during which OneSTOP’s Finnish #LivingLab was launched. 🟢 Participants had the opportunity to see firsthand the insect detection system based on an automated camera and AI recognition. 🔗Find out more: onestop-project.eu/news/finnish... #IAS

🐦‍⬛ Today’s #InvasiveAlienSpecies is Acridotheres cristatellus, the Crested Myna. 🌱 This bird has the potential to cause significant crop damage, making it an unwelcome guest in many areas. 🪹 It competes with many native species for food resources and nesting sites. #IASinEurope

🪴 Meet Acacia mearnsii, also known as Black Wattle. This species is: 🔥Quite fire-resistant and can resprout after a blaze 🌱 Outcompetes other plants with its dense, shading stands formed by its large crown and numerous seeds. 👀 Keep an eye out for this #InvasiveAlienSpecies!
