I would loveto be part of it, thanks!
38% of terrestrial land is exposed to biological invasions, yet sensitivity hotspots extend far beyond !

Exposure and Sensitivity of Terrestrial Vertebrates to Biological Invasions Worldwide
To reach the COP 15 objective of diminishing the impacts of biological invasions on native biota, one needs to identify the most vulnerable areas to this threat for prioritizing conservation actions.....

I would be glad to be in 😎

This article was part of my PhD funded by @normalesup.bsky.social at the Ecologie, Systématique et Evolution lad and was published in @globalchangebio.bsky.social

We hope more global studies will acknowledge the data bias associated with biological invasions to better inform conservation policies, based on reliable information.

In addition to the results on vulnerability, we explored the data biases in the data we used, that are inherent to global studies on biological invasions. We find a surprisingly low data completeness for exposure to IAS, inducing only a few places to have good data completeness.

This new framework proposes to combine both exposure and sensitivity of vertebrates to biological invasions. We found that more than 1/3 of terrestrial lands were exposed to at least one invasive alien species (IAS), and most lands had at least one bird, mammal, or reptile species sensitive to IAS.
