The reviewer crisis: data from the journal Biological Invasions: "Reviewer acceptance rates dropped steadily over the past two decades. Early-career researchers had the highest acceptance rates, while senior scholars were least likely to accept review invitations." link.springer.com/article/10.1...

A moment to remember! The #ICMBXII community gathered together in Madeira — researchers, students, and practitioners united by a shared passion for #marine #bioinvasions. The conference isn’t over yet — more sessions, discussions, and connections are still to come!

Now it is time for Graeme Inglis (shorturl.at/YL91M) speaking about marine surveillance technologies to detect non-indigenous species. Early detection, effectiveness, limits,etc. And national delimiting surveys of Pyura doppelgangera (shorturl.at/5mBVM) happening in New Zealand since 2007! #ICMBXII

ℹ️ Did you know we are organized through thematic committees (#equality, #sustainability, #ethics, #wellbeing…)? They drive bottom-up actions and values for a more inclusive, ethical and sustainable Centre🌱🔽 https://www.ceab.csic.es/en/the-ceab/organisation-and-team/ceab-committees/

Here we go... Three days of exciting presentations and interesting discussions. @marinebioinvasions.bsky.social #bioinvasions

Excellent presentation by Anastasija Zaiko in the #ICMB2025 on the integration of macroeconomic modelling and vessel network analysis to strengthen marine #biosecurity management. Work conducted in the framework of @guardias.bsky.social #bioinvasions #InvasiveSpecies #GuardIAS

🔝 talks describing patterns of marine introduced species detected using eDNA and sedaDNA metabarcoding by the @ceabcsic.bsky.social members today at the @marinebioinvasions.bsky.social conference during the ‘Genetic surveillance’ session. Well done CEAB team! 😀🧬🦀🪼🐙🐟

Keynote speaker Amy Freestone starting with a great discussion on the relationship between latitudinal gradients and bioinvasions / biodiversity / biotic resistance. High predation pressure on sessile non-indigenous species (mostly ascidians) in the tropics. Amazing video of fish predation.#ICMB2025

Here we are 😃 let’s start this ICMB XIII 🗣️

📚New scientific article! Combining environmental DNA data with oceanography, life history and ecology to detect climate-induced range shifts, published in @consbiog.bsky.social  , by @M_Rius_ et al. ▶️ https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ddi.70064

🎉 Per fi ha arribat el dia! Ja podeu veure el vídeo que us obre les portes al #CEAB @csic.es: què fem, com i per què! Investigació en ecologia i biodiversitat per entendre i protegir els ecosistemes aquàtics 🌊🌍 🎥 Mira el vídeo i descobreix la nostra feina! #SomCEAB www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIRn...

🌍 CEAB Night is happening today — on #Ecology and #Complexity 🕸️Coinciding with #WorldEnvironmentalHealthDay & the #EuropeanResearchersNight! Sold out! More info 🔽

📌 Save the date! 🔬 CEAB Night 2025 🌍 #EuropeanResearchersNight – this year dedicated to #Ecology and #Complexity 📅 September 26 | 7–9 pm 📍 CEAB-CSIC, Blanes Discover the scientific research, explore the facilities and meet the team. More details coming soon 🧐

NEW PAPER ALERT! 🧬 📰 Target eDNA fragment size, life history traits of species, and oceanography affect eDNA survey results when detecting climate-induced range shifts. Available now, open access in Diversity and Distributions @consbiog.bsky.social #edna #tropicalisation t.co/d66jK9vw5Z

Comencem el 2025 apareixent a "elpuntavui" 👏💫🗞️ En Marc Rius i l'Eugènia Martí, director i vicedirectora del #CEAB, ens expliquen de primera mà la recerca que fem en ecosistemes aquàtics i com afrontem reptes com el canvi climàtic i l’impacte humà 👀👇 www.elpuntavui.cat/societat/art...

Us convidem a recòrrer la exposició “Espècies invasores marines, l’amenaça silenciosa” 🔝 La propera visita la farà en Marc Rius, director i investigador del #CEAB 👨‍🔬 📅 23/01, a les 17.30 📍 Museu Maritim a #Barcelona Us hi esperem! 🐙 www.ceab.csic.es/agenda/visit...

🔬 Un estudio liderado por #CEAB @csic.es detecta en aguas gallegas una nueva especie exótica con potencial invasor ⚠️ 🌍 Se trata del tunicado de origen africano 'Pyura herdmani', una ascidia capaz de formar grandes agregados. 📰 bit.ly/3Co7nNQ

'Pyura herdmani' puede formar grandes agregados, desplazando especies nativas y alterando ecosistemas marinos 🌊 👉 Especies similares han causado problemas económicos, como la colonización de cultivos de mejillones, tan importantes en las #RíasBaixas www.farodevigo.es/mar/2025/01/...

Tot l'equip del CEAB volem expresar el nostre més sincer condol per la pèrdua del Dr. Enric “Kike” Ballesteros. Destacat biòleg i ecòleg, reconegut a nivell internacional per les seves aportacions a la ciència i per la ferma defensa de la conservació de la natura. Et trobarem a faltar 🖤

Acabo de visitar una exposición muy interesante sobre especies invasoras marinas montada por @ceabcsic.bsky.social en el Museu Marítim de Barcelona. Muy recomendable.
