Moustiques tigres, frelons asiatiques, plantes exotiques… 🦟🐝🌱 Les espèces envahissantes peuvent occasionner des dégâts écologiques et sanitaires importants. L'écologue Céline Bellard les étudie pour tenter d'anticiper et limiter leurs impacts dans le futur.

Brève de science : Halte aux envahisseurs !

🧨 Systematic reviews are in peril !

AI will be soon (if not already) massively be used to generate tons of fake and/or replicated papers; this wave will becomes a tsunami 🌊 ...

There really is a need for falsification/copy control in science now!

‘Systematic reviews’ that aim to extract broad conclusions from many studies are in peril

Fake papers are “poisoning the well” for these gold-standard syntheses, researchers say

Four years ago we showed that only 27% of articles published in ecological journals WITH a code-sharing policy made their code available, leading to a 21% reproducibility potential.

We've looked into journals WITHOUT a code-sharing policy.

Results coming soon...

To downplay the impacts of alien species, some people claim "native invaders" cause as much disruption. Native species can become superabundant & damaging (when triggered by disturbance) but alien species are far more likely to be a cause of global extinction: redpath-staff.mcgill.ca/ricciardi/Bl...

*Don’t trade off #carbon for #biodiversity*
The scientific consensus is clear: we cannot address climate change by industrialising the biosphere. #Climate solutions must protect ecosystem integrity and support biodiversity, not compromise them for carbon gains.🌎 theconversation.com/the-climate-...

The climate and biodiversity crises are entwined, but we risk pitting one against the other

In our race to cool the planet, we must not compromise the ecosystems on which we depend.
