Happy to finally share this important article on barriers in ecology led by @canobarbacil.bsky.social in the journal Frontiers in Ecology & the Environment. The idea for this paper originated at the nice #ANdiNA workshop in Spain a couple of years ago.

Happy to have contributed to this piece, the result of a collaborative effort during the Andina workshop led by @canobarbacil.bsky.social . We hope this analysis on the barriers to ecological research helps drive some real-world impact 🌎 😊

Why do so many ecologists share common feelings of disconnection between their research goals and real-world impact? 🌍

Our new article in #FE&E explores the constraints that limit ecological research and how we can mitigate them. 👇

👍 From skill-based training to transdisciplinary collaboration, and fairer service expectations,we outline feasible mitigation strategies used worldwide.
⬆️ Modest cultural and structural shifts can help ecological research better achieve societal, environmental, and personal goals.

We identify three major areas where change is possible:
1. Rethinking research evaluation
2️. Strengthening training & mentorship
3️. Reducing and recognizing administrative tasks

👩‍🏫 Ecologists pursue societal, environmental, and personal goals.
🚫 But internal barriers, perverse incentives, and administrative overload often limit what they can truly achieve.

Scholarly discourse in polarizing interdisciplinary contexts “Let us not speak of them; but look, and pass on.” (Dante, 1867/1320, Inferno, Canto III, line 51). These words could apply to both our original work (Ahme

Painful to see how our comprehensive, interdisciplinary review on the dangers of comparing biological #invasions to human migration was misinterpreted and decontextualized. We share the same vision, and urge for discussion rather than villainization.

Never release your pet fish!

Preventing new introductions of highly invasive species with growing presence in the international pet trade is essential to halt their further spread.

Range expansions of both Asian loaches in Europe could lead to an increased distribution overlap with populations of the native M. fossilis, with projections showing P. dabryanus increasing from a current overlap of 0.1% to 4.1% and M. anguillicaudatus from 0.2% to 32.8%.

Our results indicate that both species could spread globally and become invasive in temperate regions of Europe, North and South America, the south-eastern coast of Australia and Asia.

For this purpose, we used species distribution models to estimate the potential global environmental suitability for both Asian loaches and to identify key variables determining current distributions.

In this study, we evaluated the potential of the large-scale loach (Paramisgurnus dabryanus) and the dojo weatherloach (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus) to establish outside their native range, and address potential impacts on the threatened European weatherfish (Misgurnus fossilis).

The introduction of non-native species is a major driver of biodiversity loss, posing a growing threat to freshwater ecosystems globally. This includes two Asian fish species that have recently been detected outside their native range in Europe, North America and Australia.

Check out our new paper on potentially #invasive loaches led by @canobarbacil.bsky.social. Loaches are cool creatures - especially the native weatherfish Misgurnus fossilis, a 'farting' #fish. Great work Carlos!
