Benieuwd naar het exotenbeheer in Vlaanderen #podcast #exotennet @inbo.be www.ecopedia.be/podcast-exot...

Jeroen Speybroeck en Loïc van Doorn meten en wegen een aantal Chinese prachtslangen, invasieve uitheemse en ontsnapte exemplaren. Na het wegen en meten gaan de slangen richting @uantwerpen.be, voor een onderzoek naar de temperatuurvoorkeur van de reptielen.

Heading back home after the EuroRaccoon meeting. Interesting week discussing the feasibility of preventing its further spread and reducing their densities within their current range. Not simple! @inbo.be

voor de meerwaardezoeker die op donderdagavond weinig anders te doen heeft wat meer duiding bij #invasievesoorten en het onderzoek dat daarop loopt @inbo.be lezing @bibbrugge

Two ambitious multi-stakeholder projects (@guardias.bsky.social and OneSТOP) that aim to tackle the threat of invasive alien species have been launched at a conference in Europe this week. Learn more about these projects: erinn.eu/ambitious-pr... #invasiveSpecies #BiologicalInvasions #Biodiversity

Check the announcement of the summer school on 'AI and citizen science in monitoring and assessing biodiversity and invasive species at sea'. Happy to participate as a trainer. #bioinvasions #InvasiveSpecies #GuardIAS

📢 Kicked-off only a few weeks ago, the @horizoneu.bsky.social-funded project @onestop-project.eu is to use #scientific #research, novel detection tech & policy-driven strategies to enhance #biosecurity. 🙌 Happy to be Work Package leaders at this promising project! 👇 Find more on our blog:

Culturomics and iEcology provide novel opportunities to study human and social dimensions of alien species introductions. Super interesting work lead by @ananovoaperez.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Een artikel in @nature.com waar o.a. onze wetenschapper @jmergeay.bsky.social aan meewerkte trekt aan de alarmbel: de wereldwijde genetische diversiteit neemt af, en dat brengt schade toe aan de biodiversiteit. Lees het artikel hier: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
