Funded PhD opportunity in our lab with NorthWestBio DTP: Assessing the role of plant invasions in mosquito-borne disease risk Plant invasions transform ecosystem structure, but can they promote insect vectors and associated disease risks? Deadline 21 November 2025 www.gla.ac.uk/postgraduate...

After more than fourteen years of advancing research on biological invasions, we have published our 100th issue! 🌎 🔗 blog.pensoft.net/2025/09/29/a...

This new piece, commissioned with the support of Monte Palace Tropical Garden and the sponsorship of Associação de Coleções Berardo, will be unveiled during the Welcome Event and will remain on display there. Learn more about Vhils: vhils.com

So looking forward to this!

Summer heatwaves pose a greater threat than winter cold spells for an African temperate whelk. Finally getting some of our extreme thermal event work out! Great work @sjackland.bsky.social #marineheatwaves www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

The wait is over! The full program for #ICMBXII is now online! 🎉 Explore the sessions, keynote talks, and poster presentations that will shape four days of inspiring science and collaboration in Madeira. Check out the full schedule here: virtual.oxfordabstracts.com/event/73709/...

Researchers provide a national list of established non-native species in the Philippines, along with an update on the Southeast Asian region, to aid national and regional efforts in addressing the threats posed by biological invasions. 🔗 doi.org/10.3897/neob... @geomarkiel.bsky.social

We are recruiting! Looking for a dynamic, self-motivated, field-work loving post-doc to join our team working on invasions in MPAs. More details here: blogs.sun.ac.za/cib/project/... #MarineBioinvasions #bioinvasions #MPAs

Kelp forests are biodiversity hotspots along the South African coast and economically important. Anticipating invasions, especially in a changing climate, can help to make monitoring more effective and cost-efficient. New paper: www.reabic.net/journals/mbi... #bioinvasions #kelp

An integarated approach is needed if management of invasions in Protected Areas is to be successfully addressed through the GBF targets It was great to work with such a dynamic team on this new paper. @drdeahlieurance.bsky.social neobiota.pensoft.net/articles.php...

Back in Langebaan Lagoon MPA with @zeanenel.bsky.social and @tbrresearch.bsky.social to sample the alien daisy anemone—native to Europe but thriving in South Africa. Alarming to find it in such high densities within regionally endangered seagrass beds. #Bioinvasions

Managers perceptions of tends in biological invasions and effectiveness of management measures in Europe... things are getting worse and transboundary cooperation is needed. #bioinvasions onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
