Exciting day at #ASSAB2023, our PI (@mo_cace) took the stage to discuss individual variation in sociability towards conspecific and heterospecific interactions among natives and non-natives! #ConferenceTalks #poeciliids #goodeids

🐇 The European rabbit, invasive in 🇨🇱 & naturalized 150y ago, was featured in a comprehensive 36y analysis of the food web. It's the most connected species, impacting others positively & negatively. #FoodWeb #ScienceInATweet #ISEL #InvasiveSpecies bit.ly/42cU0al

The invasive quagga mussel thrives in S California 🇺🇸. Despite removal efforts, high densities persisted for years. Environmental factors like water temperature drove larval mussel numbers more than adult density. #ScienceInATweet #ISEL #InvasiveSpecies bit.ly/3MqpjbM

The few studies that have explored the effects of calls from invasive species suggest natives alter their vocal behaviours in the presence of noise generated by invasive species. bit.ly/3vJpCXN #InvSppEcoLab #ForNature #InvasiveSpecies #ScienceInATweet #ShareScience

Presence of the inv giant milkweed was related with dry environments in South America. The area of invasion is reduced for future climatic conditions models, but the suitability increases. bit.ly/3Jy2Esi #InvSppEcoLab #ForNature #ScienceInATweet #Scicomm #ShareScience

Porthole livebearer ♀️ r bolder than ♂️, which could contribute to the invasion success of the species since this trait is linked to dispersion & ♀️ can produce broods with multiple paternities. bit.ly/3byX8Jn #InvSppEcoLab #ScienceInATweet #ShareScience #freshwaterfish

Mosquitoes recently invaded north of the Alps & there's evidence to suggest the presence of an overwintering population there. This points to an increased risk of further northward expansion. bit.ly/3BHI2Mh #InvSppEcoLab #ForNature #InvSpp #ScienceInATweet #ShareScience
