What a #Biodiversity week! So much energy on #bendingthecurve with a @cml_biodiv retreat, the #Leiden Biodiversity Network meeting, and the @GlobioModel symposium of @Leefomgeving. So much important and inspiring research going on. We've got this!

sometime you hear the odd "yes, but biological invasions also have benefits... "
To see why this is a plain wrong argument, see our latest paper on "the costs of benefits" 👇

Hey mosquito researchers! I need some help. About 25% of my Culex pipiens larvae are developing "tumors" around their anal papillae. They mold into pupae and swim a bit wobbly, but otherwise seem normal. Has anyone encountered this before? Any insights on the cause? #entomology
