#IAS involved in 60% of recorded extinctions, often in combination with other threats

85% of studies report negative impacts
Positive impacts exist, but represent only 15% of published evidence

Introducing the #GIDIAS database compiling >25K studies reporting impacts of IAS

Montserrat Vilà, @ebdonana.bsky.social summarises results from the 2023 IPBES report on #InvasiveAlienSpecies at #EEI2025

The species is still showing up in different points and showcases the need for coordination among stakeholders to successfully fight invaders
#EEI2025

Ramón Álvarez Halcón, secretary of the Spanish society of Malacology, walks us through the very complex regulatory framework of the apple snail
A species that affect rice fields in the Lower Ebro river

Fran gives several examples of invasive species commercialised
But little evidence that this is an effective strategy to fight #biologicalinvasions

@oficialdegui.bsky.social discuss the pros and cons of invasivorism as an strategy to fight #invasivespecies
#EEI2025

Preparados para comenzar el VII congreso español sobre exóticas invasoras. Vamos!!
#EEI2025

@Beatrice Melone as the red crayfish and @Eugenio Gervasini playing the blue crab
Well done!
#Art&Science #InvasiveSpecies #RaisingAwareness

What a fun way to finish our first day, a little play where two invasive species: the red crayfish and the blue crab, reflect on how they got to Europe, their impacts and complexities
Big 👏 to the organizers of the get-to-know activities!

#GuardiasOnestopKickoff

In @guardias.bsky.social we will be modelling the distribution of freshwater invasive species, building upon #EASIN the EU system for invasive species and providing them with future scenarios

Lots of freshwater invaders in the #EbroRiver where I live 🫢 so time to act! 💪
#GuardiasOnestopKickoff

Kicking off our joint conference between #GuardIAS and #OneStop in Ispra

For the next 3 years we will support managers and stakeholders to prevent and control #invasivespecies in terrestrial and aquatic environments

Let's get started!

A ver quién es el primero que se da cuenta de que esta figura está errónea 🫣
Aprovecho para compartir la correcta ya que en la revista no me hacen ni caso 😒

I will be coordinating the work package dedicated to finding hotspots of impact in Europe ➡️waterbodies that combine a 👍high biodiversity of protected species that are the same time are susceptible to the 👎specific invaders most likely to affect them.

Follow our project @guardias.bsky.social
In the next three years, we'll be developing new cool 😎technology to support the prevention, control and management of #bioinvasions 🦀🌿🐢🐸in Europe's continental and marine waters 🌊🌊🌊

⏱ >9,000 species, 40 fearless experts and one mission to complete in under two weeks: identify the invasive species that may affect Europe in the next 10 years 📆
🌺 🐁 🦐 Some of our top invaders will hopefully make it to the Union List so that we never have to worry abou their impact in our ecosystems
