🚨 New paper altert 🚨 New review in BiologicalReviews: The #impacts of biological invasions. We synthesize nearly a century of evidence across taxa and #ecosystems to clarify what invasion impacts are, how they arise, and why they are so hard to assess. doi.org/10.1002/brv.70…

I succesfully defended my #PhD! 🐸👽 I used #eDNA and #popgen to study the distribution, spread, and impact of American #bullfrogs in Flanders. Grateful to my promotors and everyone that has supported me. Now, the next chaper awaits as #INBO postdoc for the #GUARDIAS project!

We are now accepting abstracts of oral and poster presentations until September 26, 2025. The conference theme is Transcending Boundaries. Follow the link for details on topics and how to apply. bit.ly/45hl7pj

🔍 #BioScience: Our viewpoint responds to misrepresentations of our work on biological #invasions & #migration. We reaffirm the need for rigorous, ethical, interdisciplinary #dialogue—especially on complex, sensitive issues. doi.org/10.1093/biosci…

A highly (in a dire way) 👁️opening response was published today in #BioScience: doi.org/10.1093/biosci… It critiques our review in BioReviews: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… Before taking sides/sharing 🔥takes, I urge everyone: read both. Opinions should come after understanding.

After 3 years of sampling, lab work, bio informatics, statistical analyses and writing, I am pleased to see the fifth data chapter of my #PhD published in #Heredity! We combine occurrence records and population #genetics to reveal the spread dynamics of invasive #bullfrogs! 👽🐸

Congratulations to Teun Everts (@TeunEverts) and Thomas Reinhart for winning the Best Student Presentation awards at the #AquaEcOmics meeting in Evian, France! mbmg.pensoft.net/news/806

@AnaLuisaNunes25 Thanks Ana, I will 😀

@TeunEverts So cool, Teun, hope you enjoyed the UK. Next time pass by Cambridge to pay us a little visit at the David Attenborough Building! 😉

Heading back to Belgium after a 6 week research stay at the Modelling, Evidence & Policy research Group of #Newcastle University #UK. Looking forward to applying the acquired knowledge on #network theory on the spatial prioritization of #bioinvasion management. 🐸

@ismasoto Good luck! 💪

Join me for my PhD defence on the Trends and Impacts of Biological Invasions 🐟🌿🎓 Save the date!: 4/03/2025 Live stream here: web.frov.jcu.cz/phd_def_4-3_20… #PhDLife #Ecology #BiologicalInvasions #Science

Spreading #non-native species and human migrations. Superficially similar, but vastly different. We carefully distilled both processes and provide frameworks to support the development of context-specific policies that respect human dignity, and foster cultural diversity.

Many times confused, many times misused. In our latest paper, we summarize the key parallels & discrepancies between human migration and biological invasions led by @HaubrockPhillip @DanishAliAhmed and many other colleagues! 📖 Read it here: doi.org/10.1111/brv.70…

🚨New paper BioScience! 🌍✨ Our paper explores the conceptual and ethical challenges in invasion science, offering a fresh lens on how we address #invasivespecies. w/ @oldenfish @TeunEverts @Martin_A_Nunez @SerhanTarkan and many others researchgate.net/publication/38…

@JMergeay The tendency to change platforms undermines their collective strenght, as a platform can only be as good as the number of people using it.

🪱 On November 3rd, we were at the @botanicgarden01 for the citizen science project #FlatwormWatch! 🍂🔍 The project has already gathered dozens of observations, and we even discovered a species never before seen in Belgium! Thank you to all the participants! 💚

Together with a large group of European #invasion biologists and #policy makers, we conducted a comprehensive horizon Scan to identify potentially upcoming biological invaders threatening the #EU in the next 10 years! Lots of fun and new knowledge!👽🐸
