My problem with the original paper is its reckless application of invasion concepts to human migration. That would've been fine had it unambiguously showed how scientifically inappropriate such comparisons were, rather than offer weak critiques & claim that insights were to be gained from them.

Painful to see how our comprehensive, interdisciplinary review on the dangers of comparing biological #invasions to human migration was misinterpreted and decontextualized. We share the same vision, and urge for discussion rather than villainization.

Comienza el VII Congreso Nacional sobre Especies Exóticas Invasoras y II Congreso Ibérico sobre EEI #EEI2025.
3 sesiones simultáneas. 😅 Un estrés de triaje para los que nos interesan aspectos y grupos taxonómicos diversos.

We had a busy Invasive Species Week at @iris-eeza.bsky.social!!
We joined the Macrobioblitz #SEI25, organized a public debate on invasions at La Guajira in Almería and were part of the organizing and scientific committees of IyrCIS (iyrcis.webs.uvigo.gal). Next year: more and better! :)
