This summer's tour around Europe brought me to Hungary, to Kis Balaton and Tisza Lakes! Plenty of #Trapanatans populations here. Having fun despite the relentless heat! Many thanks to Viktor Toth team, fantastic sampling experience! #DiveIn #MarieCurie RossanoBolpagni

A great video promoting INVASIVESNET- please reshare if you are involved in invasive species research and management. Come join us!

Here we are with my first poster presenting my #MarieCurie #DIVEIN project at #Neobiota2024 conference in Lisbon! Wonderful, inspiring experience. Ready to be part of this invasive science community!

Meet the invaders #1: Elodea nuttallii This is a submerged rooted macrophyte, with elongated branching stems and whorls of three linear leaves. It is native to North America and invasive in Europe, where it can be found in lakes, ponds, rivers and channels.

Meet the invaders #2: Trapa natans (water chestnut) It's a rooted macrophyte with floating leaves. It's an annual species, so every year it can grow several meters tall to bring its rosette leaves to the surface. It is native to Europe and has become invasive in North America.

Approaching the end of the sampling season in Europe! This week I was in Lake Skadar, between Montenegro and Albania, to sample Trapa natans (water chestnut). This project is taking me to amazing places, this is definitely a highlight of this season.

Check out our recent paper on invasion trends of Ludwigia species in Italy, now open access on Management of Biological Invasions! I am thankful to Carla Lambertini, Fabrizio Buldrini and RossanoBolpagni for including me in the team! doi.org/10.3391/mbi.20…

Our new protocol for the measure of leaf functional traits in aquatic carnivorous plants is out on PPEES journal! Available open acces: doi.org/10.1016/j.ppee… Thanks to Cost Actions ConservePlants for funding and Czech Academy of Sciences for hosting us at their aquatic plants collection!

Getting ready for the #Researcher'sNight 2024! Today a DIVE INto the world of macrophytes with the DIVE IN project!

Wonderful experience at the #ResearchersNight 2024, a lot of interested people came to discover the world of macrophytes and invasive species! Thanks to RossanoBolpagni

Have a look at my new website!! An opportunity to say something more about me and my research. I promise new exciting posts on the blog page every month! DIVE IN aliceinplantsland.wordpress.com

NEW POST! Read about my experience sampling in #Ireland this summer, on the hunt for #pondweeds! Mobility funded by the EU GREEN European Alliance. Starring Frances Lucy aliceinplantsland.wordpress.com/2024/10/27/ire…

NEW POST! Join me on a trip to #TheNetherlands, home of countless populations of #Elodeanuttallii! A report of the first official field campaign of the DIVE IN project. #macrophytes #ecology #fieldwork aliceinplantsland.wordpress.com/2024/11/03/the…

🌊 Exciting news! We’re thrilled to launch EUPHORIA - a European-wide Early Career research project to study aquatic plant phenology awarded as the fifth FreshProject initiative, awarded by the European Federation for Freshwater Sciences (EFFS). #EarlyCareerResearchers #Limnology

NEW POST! Probably my second to last post on this summer's adventures... read about my trip to Hungary (and thereabouts)! DIVE IN #Trapanatans #macrophytes #sampling aliceinplantsland.wordpress.com/2024/11/19/hun…

Inspiring talk by RossanoBolpagni at CIRF and ADBPO joint meeting in the prestigious venue of Palazzo Madama TO (Torino). Speaking about the amazing Po River and the relevance of #biomonitoring in the context of nature-based solutions.

Thank you for the amazing interest in EUPHORIA! 🎉🤩 The information meeting of 26 Nov 2024 was a success with 107 participants! Retrieve the information by accessing the recording: youtube.com/watch?v=23cSYi… Stay tuned for more! #EUPHORIA #Freshwaterscience #AquaticEcology

Presenting my DIVE IN project at Conference of Young BOtanists (CYBO)! Happy to be back to Cybo, it was my very first conference five years ago!

We are pleased to announce our new book: The World of Zero-Inflated Models: Using GLLVM. Zuur and Ieno (2025) This book explores modern statistical methods for analyzing complex datasets, focusing on multivariate models, mixed-effects models, and latent variable models.

Pleased to announce our new research article is out in #PPEES! Exploring #FunctionalTraits of #AquaticCarnivorousPlants and ecological strategies of #macrophytes! Immensely grateful to co-authors RossanoBolpagni and Lubomir Adamec! Read open access at: doi.org/10.1016/j.ppee…
