🚀🚀 Just published in #Oikos: *Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective* What if making Mars or other planet habitable means deliberately introducing Earth species? We explore this ultimate ecological experiment through the lens of #invasionscience (propagule pressure, boom-bust dynamics, secondary invasions, and the very real risks of unintended ecological surprises...) but on a #planetary scale. doi.org/10.1002/oik.11683 w/ @TeunEverts @InvasionsPlant @FishInvasionLab @INVASBio @ESAinvasionecol @Invasivesnet @InvasiveSppEco @InvasiveAliens @InvasivesShow

🚨 New paper altert 🚨 New review in BiologicalReviews: The #impacts of biological invasions. We synthesize nearly a century of evidence across taxa and #ecosystems to clarify what invasion impacts are, how they arise, and why they are so hard to assess. doi.org/10.1002/brv.70124

I succesfully defended my #PhD! 🐸👽 I used #eDNA and #popgen to study the distribution, spread, and impact of American #bullfrogs in Flanders. Grateful to my promotors and everyone that has supported me. Now, the next chaper awaits as #INBO postdoc for the #GUARDIAS project!

A highly (in a dire way) 👁️opening response was published today in #BioScience: doi.org/10.1093/biosci/biaf0… It critiques our review in BioReviews: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… Before taking sides/sharing 🔥takes, I urge everyone: read both. Opinions should come after understanding.

After 3 years of sampling, lab work, bio informatics, statistical analyses and writing, I am pleased to see the fifth data chapter of my #PhD published in #Heredity! We combine occurrence records and population #genetics to reveal the spread dynamics of invasive #bullfrogs! 👽🐸

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. 🐸

Spreading #non-native species and human migrations. Superficially similar, but vastly different. We carefully distilled both processes and provide frameworks to support the development of context-specific policies that respect human dignity, and foster cultural diversity.

Many times confused, many times misused. In our latest paper, we summarize the key parallels & discrepancies between human migration and biological invasions led by @HaubrockPhillip @DanishAliAhmed and many other colleagues! 📖 Read it here: doi.org/10.1111/brv.70004

Parallels and discrepancies between non‐native species introductions and human migration

Biological invasions and human migrations have increased globally due to socio-economic drivers and environmental factors that have enhanced cultural, economic, and geographic connectivity. Both...

🪱 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! 💚

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!👽🐸
