Acacia paradoxa has a broad SE Australian distribution, occurs across starkly different habitats, and has remarkably variable morphology. Here is a photo snapshot of some of the diversity captured during my honours field work.

The concept of biological invasions in the Anthropocene: introductions and range expansions Abstract. In the warming world of the Anthropocene, as well as classically, biological invasions include introductions (introduced species) and range expan

"An invasion is an invasion". Whether a species arrives via ballast water or a warming-driven poleward shift, it is a historical newcomer to that community.

Project SALTFISH - Emili García-Berthou Conservation biology of cyprinodontiform fishes: effects of salinity and hypoxia (SALTFISH) Project “Conservation biology of cyprinodontiform fishes: effects of salinity and hypoxia (SALTFISH)”  is a coordinated project funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation, and Universities for the years 2024-2027 and formed by two subprojects: 1) “Conservation ecology of cyprinodontiform fishes: effects of salinity […]

some mosquitofishes seem to be an exception and have higher movement rates, partly explaining their invasiveness. #InvasiveSpecies #BioInvasions #IAS #BiologicalInvasion #InvasionEcology

Socio‐ecological complexity in managing long‐standing invasive water hyacinth in wetland agriculture and fisheries Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog.

I’m excited to share my research article, published in People and Nature!! 🌿We found that water hyacinth reduces crop yields and drives destructive fishing practices—yet after 100+ years, locals see it as “natural.” #InvasionEcology #Wetlands besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Senecio inaequidens invasion didn’t alter soil chemistry, but plant diversity increased significantly, with a marginal boost to bacterial diversity, especially in tough, low-productivity habitats. A possible facilitator? 🤔🌱 #InvasionEcology #Biodiversity #Senecio

Non-native plants along mountain trails We had been studying the role of mountain roads as drivers of non-native plant invasions in mountains all the way back till 2007. Heck, we just published a first manuscript on the decadal dynamics …

New global study! 🏔️🌱 Non-native plants don’t just follow mountain roads—they spread along hiking trails too, even off-trail.

MIREN data from 9 regions shows trails are key invasion pathways.

Such a brilliant addition for all to see what is happening around the world. Nice job folks 👏 #invasionecology #inns

TL;TR:

🧪 High diversity = more resistance
🧬 Similar neighbors = better performance
💡 A colonizer, not a strong competitor
