🌍 New release: #GuardIAS Newsletter #1! From early-warning AI systems to field eradication trials, see how we’re turning science into action against #AquaticInvasions across Europe. Read it here: guardias.eu/wp-content/u... @guardias.bsky.social #bioinvasions #InvasiveSpecies #MarineEcology 🧪🌐🌍🌊🐟

🚨 Applications open: GuardIAS Summer School! Learn how to detect aquatic #InvasiveAlienSpecies using #eDNA — from sampling design and lab workflows to bioinformatics + policy integration. Lectures + hands-on case studies. 👉 guardias.eu/welcome-to-t... #MarineEcology #AquaticEcology #BioInvasions 🌍🌐

Whooop! New paper online! "A Systems Perspective: How Social–Ecological Networks Can Improve Our Understanding and Management of Biological Invasions" Phenomenal effort by Fiona Rickowski to pull this all together, wrangling a large co-author/bag-of-cats team into shape! doi.org/10.1093/bios...

How social–ecological #networks can improve our understanding and management of #biologicalinvasions – new paper by Fiona Rickowski et al. now published in #BioScience doi.org/10.1093/bios... #InvasiveSpecies #nonnative #pests #conservation #alienspecies

🔵 Aquaculture is one of the most important pathways for the introduction of non-native species. Since 1950, one third of species used in aquaculture have been farmed outside of their native ranges. 📄 doi.org/10.1111/raq.... 🔗 issuu.com/aquaculturem...

XVII SECEM congress, Évora Mara Torreblanca explained how the otter has learned to consume on the Atlantic blue crab, /Callinectes sapidus/, a truly dangerous prey, forced by the temporal scarcity of the red swamp crayfish, /Procambarus clarkii/. Fully American menu @secem-sicem.bsky.social

The first #GuardIAS #Conference on Prevention of Invasive Alien Species Introductions and #Biosecurity Risk Assessment starts tomorrow 12/11 morning at 9:00 GMT - 10:00 CET - 11:00 EET. Don't miss it! #bioinvasions #InvasiveSpecies #MarineEcology #AquaticEcology #IAS 🌍🌐🌊

Today, Mara Torreblanca successfully defended her MSc thesis on otter diet in the Río Cachón, and the role of the many, and colourful, invasive prey At @pablodeolavide.upo.es , with @sergiobedmar.bsky.social and @oficialdegui.bsky.social A really great work! (lucky us!) @ebdonana.bsky.social

That’s a wrap for the #GuardIAS Annual Meeting! Three inspiring days of exchange, collaboration, and progress towards stronger action on #InvasiveSpecies. Grateful to all who contributed to the discussions and next steps! #bioinvasions #AquaticEcology #MarineEcology @guardias.bsky.social

Day 2 of the #GuardIAS meeting was all about our 11 case studies! Great to see the nitty-gritty of using eDNA & drones for detection, modelling population spread, and launching new citizen science projects. Also got a preview of upcoming online events from at @invasivesnet.bsky.social.

🌱 Más de 1.200 especies no nativas están establecidas en la Península, según un estudio en el que ha participado @ebdonana.bsky.social Su expansión está modificando los ecosistemas locales y representan un riesgo creciente para la biodiversidad autóctona

🦀 La península ibérica alberga más de 1200 especies no nativas 🌾 El 75% corresponde a plantas e insectos 🐜 Estas especies modifican los ecosistemas locales y representan un riesgo para la biodiversidad autóctona 👩‍🔬Un estudio de la @ebdonana.bsky.social ➡️ http://tiny.cc/5q9t001

🚨 New paper out! 🚨 📍 In our latest "Diversity and Distributions" study, led by Ismael Soto, we reveal that over 1,200 non-native species are already established across the Iberian Peninsula 📄 Read it here 👉 doi.org/10.1111/ddi.... #invasivespecies

Las casualidades nos traen bonitos regalos! Así ocurrió con la colaboración entre un ecólogo (@chikichanka.bsky.social) y una historiadora del arte (Alicia Sempere), para encontrar los documentos de la importación del cangrejo italiano por Felipe II ecomandanga.wordpress.com/2025/09/17/s...

We have completed the 3rd year of our monitoring in Río Cachón (Zahara de los, Atunes, S Spain),a highly invaded and constantly changing small estuary. 16 surveys and +400 fyke nets, hundreds of otter scats, to just start learning how complex and fascinating the system is. @ebdonana.bsky.social

Después de mostrar que la genética muestra que el cangrejo italiano viene de Italia (qué cosa, paper abajo), publicamos nuevo artículo documentando que la introducción de la especie en 1588 fue exitosa @ebdonana.bsky.social nana.bsky.social @um.es Artículo OA www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Hoy se cumplen 52 años de la llegada del cangrejo rojo, Procambarus clarkii, a Europa El 17 de junio de 1973 se liberaron unos 500 ejemplares cerca de Badajoz. Un año más tarde se soltaron unos 7000 en la Marisma del Guadalquivir Se lio parda @ebdonana.bsky.social theconversation.com/cangrejo-roj...

Biological invasions cause multi-trillion dollar costs, but can we predict them? We propose a new framework fusing ecology, evolution, and economics to predict costly invasions for different sectors using biological and economic characteristics Find out more here: www.cell.com/trends/ecolo...

Dear friends and colleagues! I'm looking for a riparian zone (area) spatial layer for 🇨🇦 Canada 🇨🇦 (or ind. provinces/territories). Something simple that has been delineated using a DEM and estimated flood height, for example. Image below is purely eye candy. Many thanks ... from a Canadian 🇨🇦
