@InvasNI @EU_Aliens Yes! Out newest paper on the genetic reconstruction of the spread of the invasive shrimp Palaemon macrodactylus supports this! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

Invasive non-native species can be transferred from one waterbody to another via boats and fishing gear 🎣 🛥️ Make sure to always #CheckCleanDry after a day of angling and especially before entering another waterbody. #INNSWeek

I am happy to share the outcome of my previous postdoc position at @Ifremer_fr! Our study investigated the effects of fishery strategies on food webs. We used a multi-model approach and calculated ecological network indicators. 🧵 sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @p_cresson @Ghassen_Hal

Yes, we need good crab phylogenies! But the authors concatenated all genes? Last I looked into phylogenies this wasn’t such a good approach. Maybe the opinions have shifted? Excited to hear more about this!
