EICAT! 🔊 Ever wondered what EICAT is and why is it so important? For more information, see below! #invasionbiology #environmentalimpact #biodiversity #NotARiskAssessment #alienspecies IUCN Papik_genovesi Jan (Honza) Pergl Elena Tricarico Sabrina Kumschick Anna Frances Probert Tim Blackburn
EICAT is an IUCN global standard for measuring the severity of environmental impacts caused by alien taxa. Find out more below! #invasionbiology #alienspecies #biodiversity #IUCN Sabrina Kumschick Helen Roy SvenBacher Papik_genovesi Kevin Smith youtu.be/7GAax3xakJs
Twelve impact mechanisms have been identified by which alien taxa may cause deleterious impacts in areas to which they have been introduced. Find out more in the IUCN EICAT categories and criteria document: doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.C… Sabrina Kumschick Kevin Smith Belinda Gallardo IUCN
Just had our last EICAT Authority meeting for the year! Definitely missed a few members 👥 2022 highlights: - A growing team - 46 accepted EICAT assessments - Continuous progress and growth 🌟 Belinda Gallardo Ana Novoa Perez Papik_genovesi John Measey Elena Tricarico Sabrina Kumschick
The application of EICAT has been used in many scientific articles! 📚 Here is one example🐦: doi.org/10.1111/ddi.12… Sabrina Kumschick Tim Blackburn #BiodiversityResearch #EICAT #alienspecies #environmentalimpact #invasionbiology
Here is another published article related to the application of EICAT in South Africa🐌: doi.org/10.1002/ece3.4… Sabrina Kumschick #Gastropods #invasives #environmentalimpact #IUCN #biodiversity #EICAT #invasionbiology
Ever wondered what happens when you submit an EICAT assessment? 💭 The process below is followed to ensure that the assessment is published on the IUCN ISSG GISD website (iucngisd.org/gisd/search.php) Sabrina Kumschick Ana Luisa Nunes Belinda Gallardo SvenBacher Papik_genovesi ISSG
🚨📢 The IUCN's Environmental Impact Classification for Alien Taxa (EICAT) Conservation Tool page has been updated. Check it out to find out more about EICAT! ⬇️ISSG Ana Luisa Nunes Kevin Smith EICAT Sabrina Kumschick iucn.org/resources/cons…
All accepted EICAT assessments are published on the ISSG website. For example: Triturus carnifex (Italian Crested Newt) EICAT mechanism - Hybridisation EICAT category - Major (MR) For more information, visit iucngisd.org/gisd/ ISSG Papik_genovesi Sabrina Kumschick

Some of our @EICATAuthority members met at a workshop on #invasionscience hypotheses in Berlin two weeks ago! Exciting ideas coming through, such as adding the EICAT impact category to species Wikipedia pages📝. Stay tuned! Ana Luisa Nunes Sabrina Kumschick SvenBacher IUCN
