🧬📘 New publication! "Invasion Genomics" explores how genomic techniques and data are revolutionising the study of biological invasions. ✍️ by @dan_g_bock and @riuslab.bsky.social 👇https://www.cabidigitallibrary.org/doi/10.1079/9781800626263.0000

Our summary of our work in #JapaneseKnotweed just came out in the book "Invasion Genomics" ed Dan Bock and @riuslab.bsky.social !

‘They’re a huge pain’: Sea squirts a blobby headache for Maine aquaculture farmers Sea squirts are an invasive species that have been in the Gulf of Maine for at least 100 years, but rising ocean temperatures are believed to help them flourish.

Acte d'homenatge a Kike Ballesteros | CEAB Aquest dimarts 2 de desembre, de 9,30 h a 17 h, es duu a terme, a la seu central del Centre d’Estudis Avançats de Blanes (CEAB-CSIC), un gran acte d’homenatge a l’investigador del Centre Enric “Kike” Ballesteros, que ens va deixar fa un any. L’esdeveniment inclourà el descobriment de la placa i inaguració del renovat… Acte d’homenatge a Kike Ballesteros

💙Today at the CEAB-CSIC, we pay tribute to Enric “Kike” Ballesteros, a leading biologist and ecologist who passed away a year ago. We remember his scientific, outreach, and human legacy🔗

The reviewer crisis: data from the journal Biological Invasions:

"Reviewer acceptance rates dropped steadily over the past two decades. Early-career researchers had the highest acceptance rates, while senior scholars were least likely to accept review invitations."

A moment to remember! The #ICMBXII community gathered together in Madeira — researchers, students, and practitioners united by a shared passion for #marine #bioinvasions.

The conference isn’t over yet — more sessions, discussions, and connections are still to come!

Now it is time for Graeme Inglis (shorturl.at/YL91M) speaking about marine surveillance technologies to detect non-indigenous species. Early detection, effectiveness, limits,etc. And national delimiting surveys of Pyura doppelgangera (shorturl.at/5mBVM) happening in New Zealand since 2007! #ICMBXII

ℹ️ Did you know we are organized through thematic committees (#equality, #sustainability, #ethics, #wellbeing…)? They drive bottom-up actions and values for a more inclusive, ethical and sustainable Centre🌱🔽 https://www.ceab.csic.es/en/the-ceab/organisation-and-team/ceab-committees/

Here we go... Three days of exciting presentations and interesting discussions.

🔝 talks describing patterns of marine introduced species detected using eDNA and sedaDNA metabarcoding by the @ceabcsic.bsky.social members today at the @marinebioinvasions.bsky.social conference during the ‘Genetic surveillance’ session. Well done CEAB team! 😀🧬🦀🪼🐙🐟

Keynote speaker Amy Freestone starting with a great discussion on the relationship between latitudinal gradients and bioinvasions / biodiversity / biotic resistance. High predation pressure on sessile non-indigenous species (mostly ascidians) in the tropics. Amazing video of fish predation.#ICMB2025

Here we are 😃 let’s start this ICMB XIII 🗣️

🔬 Un estudio liderado por #CEAB @csic.es detecta en aguas gallegas una nueva especie exótica con potencial invasor ⚠️

🌍 Se trata del tunicado de origen africano 'Pyura herdmani', una ascidia capaz de formar grandes agregados.

Detectada en aguas de Galicia una nueva especie exótica e invasora de África Se llama Pyura herdmani y se suma a la larga lista de especies que han llegado a la comunidad gallega por la tropicalización del mar gallego

'Pyura herdmani' puede formar grandes agregados, desplazando especies nativas y alterando ecosistemas marinos 🌊

👉 Especies similares han causado problemas económicos, como la colonización de cultivos de mejillones, tan importantes en las #RíasBaixas

Tot l'equip del CEAB volem expresar el nostre més sincer condol per la pèrdua del Dr. Enric “Kike” Ballesteros.

Destacat biòleg i ecòleg, reconegut a nivell internacional per les seves aportacions a la ciència i per la ferma defensa de la conservació de la natura.

Et trobarem a faltar 🖤

Acabo de visitar una exposición muy interesante sobre especies invasoras marinas montada por @ceabcsic.bsky.social en el Museu Marítim de Barcelona. Muy recomendable.
