Interdisciplinary 'OneHealth' PhD opportunity available Queen's University Belfast 🎓: Understanding invasive species and risks to human health as the environment and climate changes Supervised between QUB Public Health School of Biological Sciences Funding open to international candidates! findaphd.com/phds/project/u…

Last week we hosted a productive workshop SAIAB with Centre for Biological Control to establish future opportunities to advance invasion science and biological control with Jaimie Dick Anthony Ricciardi and Hugh MacIsaac Followed by a trip to University of Mpumalanga with Tatenda Dalu Aquatic Systems Research Group

1/4 I am super happy to share the link to our new preprint presenting our novel Extinction Potential Metric (EPM), assessing the ecological impacts of invasive species as the number of native species that are expected to go extinct within 50 years. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Should we be dyeing aquatic ecosystems? Our new paper in STOTEN discusses whether alleged ‘eco-friendly’ artificial colouring of waters for aesthetics and management could, in fact, have drastic ecological consequences doi.org/10.1016/j.scit…

🦞🦐 Non-native species threaten biodiversity, but... how do native species respond over time? ❗️Check it in our latest paper in Global Change Biology : onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… Thanks to all: Dr. Phillip J. Haubrock Ross Cuthbert Laís Carneiro, PhD among others :)

In France for back-to-back #InvaPact and #InvaHealth workshops to assess the global ecological and health impacts of biological invasions, with a great group of colleagues (and occasional sun) FRB Institut Pascal - Université de Paris-Saclay

Fully-funded PhD opportunity available with us between School of Biological Sciences and QUB - Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, part-funded by industry Northern Ireland Water "Safeguarding drinking water from problem aquatic species: development and application of emerging technologies" More details here: findaphd.com/phds/project/s…

PhD opp: Interested in the combined impact of sand extraction and invasive species?!! Check this out: Invasions and extractions in Lough Neagh and their role in water quality deterioration with Chris Hackney #invasivespecies #freshwater #PhD iapetus2.ac.uk/studentships...

In this special issue by NeoBiota we are welcoming contributions of #non-native #species lists from the #Global #South. Countries from the Global South are severely under-represented in biodiversity assessments which has to change. #invasivespecies #neobiota

The wait is finally over ... The Afrotropical Streams and Rivers Book has been finally published online by Elsevier (sciencedirect.com/book/978044323…). Thank you to all the authors who contributed to make this book project a success. The book includes 29 chapters.

Just out in Biological Reviews: Non-native species have higher consumption rates than their native counterparts Through a global meta-analysis, we show that non-native consumers are often characterised by more efficient use of resources 👾 🍱 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/br…

Invasive species are a growing environmental problem worldwide that threatens ecosystems, human health, and the economy. Research at Queen's University Belfast 🎓 is at the forefront of this field. Our colleague Dr Ross Cuthbert explains more in this video. youtu.be/cIJK57R3ROA?si…
