A chameleon, a viper and a poisonous toad are just a few animals that may sneak into Australia unless we stay vigilant, research finds Monash University theconversation.com/alien-invasion…

NEW RESEARCH Forecasting potential invaders to prevent future biological invasions worldwide 📄 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… Arman Pili ChappleLab School of Biological Sciences, Monash

‼️ Biological invasions are mentioned in the SDG2030 but are they actually sufficiently considered in relation to #sustainabledevelopment? In our new paper we call for stronger acknowledgement of #biologicalinvasions across targets. Check it out here: doi.org/10.1002/pan3.1…

1/4 I am super happy to share the link to our new preprint presenting our novel Extinction Potential Metric (EPM), assessing the ecological impacts of invasive species as the number of native species that are expected to go extinct within 50 years. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

The second day of #Neobiota2024 is going, with Arman Pili talking about environmental biases in #SDMs 🌏

A little bit of info about GBIF @ecoevo.social/@gbif There’s no such thing as ‘@gbif data’—each dataset is unique! 🌿 @gbif & Darwin Core have been fully updated to align with invasive alien species standards, and all of GRIIS is already integrated into @gbif. #InvasiveSpecies Neobiota 2024
