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.

Below our response.

After 3 years of sampling, lab work, bio informatics, statistical analyses and writing, I am very 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! 👽🐸

Same goes for the receiving end of the award. Big thanks! 😀

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.

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 proc...

Conceptual and ethical considerations in invasion science Abstract. Invasion science addresses interconnected ecological, economic, and social challenges posed by the introduction of nonnative species. Therefore,

This is a deep self-reflection on invasion science. Wonderfully thought provoking and honest. No short cuts. Every field shld consider doing this. We need more!

#crayfish friends - are you sitting on primary data on crayfish populations?

we are looking for partners in a global trait gathering programme. Currently have 50+ contributors from a full global spread but looking for more!

Please share!!

The #GuardIAS journey is off to a fantastic start! 🚀 After 4 productive days with our incredible project partners & the amazing @onestopproject.bsky.social team, we're energized for the road ahead. Stay tuned for impactful outcomes! 🌍💡 #GuardIASOnestopKickoff

The #GuardiasOnestopKickoff has officially started❕

We look forward to 4 days of planning how we can together (@guardias.bsky.social) tackle #InvasiveSpecies across terrestrial, marine & freshwater realms

And we r off for two very exciting #invasivespecies #horizoneurope projects @guardias.bsky.social @onestopproject.bsky.social @skatsanevakis.bsky.social looking forward to work w many new & familiar colleagues

Very interesting food for thought! Netflix Scifi series "The Silent Sea" is a true recommendation on this topic.

Thanks for sharing! Any clue where I could find something like a histogram of APCs for those journals?

Excited to work on the #eDNA related part of this ambitious #horizon project on aquatic #bioinvasions as my first post doc! 👽

Getting rudely rejected based on 1 reviewer being "overly negative and opinionated" (Editor's words), who forgot to hide his identity in an annotated PDF, allowing me to discover this person writing a blog post a few days earlier about the importance of a constructieve attitude during peer review 🙈🙉
