Its a wrap! Satisfied and inspired, I return to Belgium after an enjoyable and well-organized #neobiota2024 conference in Lissabon, Portugal. Looking forward to meeting all these lovely people again at the next #neobiota in Belgium in 2026! 🇵🇹🇧🇪🐸👽

🚨 New paper alert. We highlight relevant #social and #cultural drivers that influence national #longterm #biomonitoring efforts in #Europe | with Ross Cuthbert Teun Everts Ismael Soto (I²) Ali Serhan Tarkan and many more! SENCKENBERG Senckenberg Research

Thanks #Invapact for the amazing workshop on global ecological #impacts of #invasive nonnative species in #Paris! 👽

First week of 3 #InvaPact II Workshop, Saclay, France: some tested veterans, some new talents, a great group and an exciting week! Thank you all for your participation! PM or give your handle below, people, so that I can tag you

The Workshop #InvaPact II, on the ecological impacts of biological invasions, is now over. A few # about it: 3 weeks of work, ≠ groups every week 58 scientists, from 25 countries 40% women, 78% Early #AcademicCareer ~6000 preliminary data > 50 group meetings >100 study projects

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!👽🐸

🪱 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! 💚

🚨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 Teun Everts Martin A. Nuñez Ali Serhan Tarkan and many others researchgate.net/publication/38…

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

Don't forget! Follow us on BlueSky!

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. 🐸

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

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.

🔍 #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…

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
