🚨 New SDM-methods paper fresh out of the science oven! 🍞📊
We developed super simple data thinning methods to tackle an oversimplified and superficially addressed issue in SDMs --- environmental sampling bias!

Correcting environmental sampling bias improves transferability of species distribution models
Sampling bias is an inherent problem in widely available biodiversity data, undermining the robustness of correlative species distribution models (SDMs). To some extent, subsampling occurrence data c....

We're looking for the input of IAS data collectors, users or curators to take part in a survey to help shape the future of IAS data standards and accessibility.

This survey is hosted by the GBIF and @tdwg.org task groups on IAS ⭐

The loss of megafauna over the last 50,000 years has caused ecological theories to be based on already-degraded ecosystems.

Skinks on a Plane! For invasive species to be successful, they must be able to cope with transportation. Third-year student Jaclyn (@jaclynharris.bsky.social) exposed invasive delicate skinks to air and car transport to see if it impacted their behaviour. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Skinks on a Plane: Does Human‐Mediated Transportation Impact the Behaviour of an Invasive Lizard?
In order for invasive species to successfully establish in the non-native region, they must survive the journey and arrive in good condition; however, few studies have investigated the impact of huma....

It finally happened: my future #student #mentee asked me about my paper that I led and #published years ago (my first first-author paper), only to apologise that I forgot what I did in that #paper, nor do I have a copy of it in my computerS (it is under paywall).

Important reminder by @chapplelab.bsky.social - data deficient / not evaluated species should be treated the same as threatened, and they are more likely to be threatened than not

🚨Paper out! I am very proud to announce the publication of my very last #PhD article, exploring the vulnerability of terrestrial #vertebrates to #invasivespecies.
Check the paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
With C. Bellard @celinebellard.bsky.social, B. Leroy, and G. Latombe
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.....

🙀 How severe are #bioinvasions in protected areas? 🌱🌍
In our latest study, we used EICAT to uncover the severity and mechanisms of these impacts. Tools like EICAT are essential for understanding these challenges and driving effective conservation efforts. #InvasiveSpecies

Aquaculture is an important activity sector for many countries. Unfortunately, it can also be the source of #bioinvasions. Focusing on crustaceans, our last paper presents a very simple framework to limit these invasions:
