Tackling invasions from source to spread - #GuardIAS & #OneSTOP unite science, AI, and society to detect, prevent, and manage #InvasiveSpecies across Europe’s ecosystems. A joined-up response to a growing global threat. Don't miss our joint webinar! #bioinvasions #Biodiversity 🌍🌐

Save the date for the 2nd GuardIAS virtual conference! More info on themes and abstract submission soon. @guardias.bsky.social

📦 We just released a new major version (3.0.0) of our R package {etn}. Use it to query animal tracking data from the @aquatictracking.bsky.social database. ⛓️‍💥 Previous versions were restricted to use on an RStudio server. You can now use {etn} from anywhere! #rstats 👉 oscibio.inbo.be/blog/etn-3-0-0

"Used to be a nice pet, but bad for our environment". Interesting coverage on the fight against the African clawed frog in Flanders, featuring @adriaenstim.bsky.social and the team at @inbo.be #GuardIAS #IAS #InvasiveSpecies www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/ki...

A recently published paper by @teuneverts.bsky.social, @adriaenstim.bsky.social, and the team @inbo.be explores the use of Early-detection-rapid response and environmental DNA (eDNA)in dealing with the African clawed frog invasion. Read more here: neobiota.pensoft.net/article/1503...

Spotlight: The American Bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) 🐸 It can leap nearly six feet in a single bound—almost 10x its body length—and preys on everything from native frogs to birds and even bats. #GuardIAS is using advanced eDNA to track its spread. See our work: guardias.eu #InvasiveSpecies

Wrap on Day 1 of the GuardIAS project meeting in Thessaloniki! 🇬🇷 A jam-packed day of collaboration, covering everything from AI & eDNA for tracking invasive species to boosting citizen science. Ready for Day 2! #GuardIAS #InvasiveSpecies
