35 freshwater fish species in Australia are at risk of extinction, including the Kangaroo River perch, last seen over 26 years ago. Key threats: invasive species, climate change, and habitat destruction. 🌏 🔗shorturl.at/xru74

Invasive plants grow taller under experimental warming, but mediated effects of biotic interactions are species-specific doi.org/10.1111/oik.10… 📷 Experimental set-up © Katy Ivison

Interaction Between Climate Change Scenarios and Biological Invasion Reveals Complex Cascading Effects in Freshwater Ecosystems 📄 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

The Sixth Mass Extinction is unfolding—caused by us. 🛑 Habitat destruction, climate change, poaching, and invasive diseases are wiping out species faster than ever. Can we change course? 🌱 #ExtinctionCrisis #Conservation discovermagazine.com/planet-earth/h…

“If you look at Jenny Creek & the Klamath main stem in the Iron Gate reservoir footprint, you see tens of thousands of willows coming up. A whole riparian forest is being reborn even right now.” - Michael Belchik, Yurok Fisheries Dept Sr Policy Analyst therevelator.org/salmon-klamath…

Invasive zebra mussels can alter mercury concentrations in fish by altering fish foraging patterns and promoting microbial communities capable of methylating inorganic mercury. Fish tissue Hg is 72%–157% higher in lakes with zebra mussels. #invasivespecies sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

In 2012, fertile grass carp were identified near the mouth of the Sandusky River on Lake Erie; in 2015, grass carp eggs were found in the river, indicating that some breeding populations had established themselves in parts of the Great Lakes. thenarwhal.ca/ontario-grass-…

Some invasive species #scicomm in response to this question: If most invasions do not cause extinctions - and thus generally increase species richness in invaded areas, shouldn't people who care about #biodiversity consider that to be a desirable outcome? bsky.app/profile/ecoinv…

A potential link between global warming, drought, aerosol emissions and ocean blooms. Nutrient-rich dust from drought-stricken areas of southern Africa were carried to nutrient-limited waters and stimulated a phytoplankton bloom. theconversation.com/madagascars-hu…

Few forces have transformed our planet as thoroughly as the introduction of invasive species. Why did a biologist decide to distribute a non-native species of lizard across the Northeast? nyer.cm/PQvhs7w

The concept of ancient invasions aligns with the view (which I've had since I was a grad student) that invasions - like extinctions & climate change - occurred long before humans, though human activities are now largely driving these phenomenon. Dr. Stigall explains it clearly.
