📣 A global assessment of the status, trends and gaps of #non-native (alien, partly #invasive) #species A new #publication with 65 authors from all continents (except Antarctica), 42 article pages and >500 references. doi.org/10.1111/brv.... 🌐 #ecology #globalchange

Today was my first day as a Research Associate 🤓 at @fletcherecology.bsky.social group in the @camzoology.bsky.social University of Cambridge!!! Looking forward to mapping global connectivity 👣🏞🌍 and its applications for biodiversity conservation and restoration 🦏🌿!!!

🚨 New SDM-methods paper fresh out of the science oven! 🍞📊 We developed super simple data thinning methods to tackle an oversimplified and superficially addressed issue in SDMs --- environmental sampling bias! doi.org/10.1002/ecog... @zurelllab.bsky.social @bleroyecology.bsky.social 🧵(1/8)

We're looking for the input of IAS data collectors, users or curators to take part in a survey to help shape the future of IAS data standards and accessibility. This survey is hosted by the GBIF and @tdwg.org task groups on IAS ⭐ 🔗www.surveymonkey.com...

The loss of megafauna over the last 50,000 years has caused ecological theories to be based on already-degraded ecosystems. https://doi.org/10.1111/oik.11134 #Megafauna #Coexistence #Megaherbivore #ShiftingBaselineSyndrome #CommunityEcology #LargeHerbivore

My final PhD chapter published in FEE (Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment): re-mapping Köppen-Geiger climate zones, but now using microclimate! Very excited to have this one out: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

🔎🌱 Are you a #biodiversity data holder located in Asia? The GBIF Asia Regional Support Team is hosting a virtual #DataMobilization workshop in February 2025 📍 to support capacity needs and to promote data publication across the #Asia region! Registrations are open! 🔗gbif.link/2025-asia-...#biodiversity

Skinks on a Plane! For invasive species to be successful, they must be able to cope with transportation. Third-year student Jaclyn (@jaclynharris.bsky.social) exposed invasive delicate skinks to air and car transport to see if it impacted their behaviour. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

It finally happened: my future #student #mentee asked me about my paper that I led and #published years ago (my first first-author paper), only to apologise that I forgot what I did in that #paper, nor do I have a copy of it in my computerS (it is under paywall). #academia #science

More evidence that evolutionary relationships & biogeographic context matter to conservation. #bioinvasions nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Important reminder by @chapplelab.bsky.social - data deficient / not evaluated species should be treated the same as threatened, and they are more likely to be threatened than not #ESAus2024

Here’s the @science.org article so that @altmetric.com picks it up :) www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

“There needs to be more emphasis on the ecological component of One Health as we consider the problems of biodiversity loss, climate extremes, habitat fragmentation, and emerging disease”https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2413367121

🚨Paper out! I am very proud to announce the publication of my very last #PhD article, exploring the vulnerability of terrestrial #vertebrates to #invasivespecies. Check the paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... With C. Bellard @celinebellard.bsky.social, B. Leroy, and G. Latombe

Aquaculture is an important activity sector for many countries. Unfortunately, it can also be the source of #bioinvasions. Focusing on crustaceans, our last paper presents a very simple framework to limit these invasions: dx.doi.org/10.1111/raq.... Avec Elena Manfrini & @bleroyecology.bsky.social
