Why do so many ecologists share common feelings of disconnection between their research goals and real-world impact? 🌍

Our new article in #FE&E explores the constraints that limit ecological research and how we can mitigate them. 👇

Overcoming barriers that limit the impact of ecological research

Ecology and conservation researchers have diverse goals that often include both personal career aspirations and desires to enhance the well-being of the natural world and its inhabitants. Perception ....

Happy to finally share this important article on barriers in ecology led by @canobarbacil.bsky.social in the journal Frontiers in Ecology & the Environment. The idea for this paper originated at the nice #ANdiNA workshop in Spain a couple of years ago.

👍 From skill-based training to transdisciplinary collaboration, and fairer service expectations,we outline feasible mitigation strategies used worldwide.
⬆️ Modest cultural and structural shifts can help ecological research better achieve societal, environmental, and personal goals.

We identify three major areas where change is possible:
1. Rethinking research evaluation
2️. Strengthening training & mentorship
3️. Reducing and recognizing administrative tasks

👩‍🏫 Ecologists pursue societal, environmental, and personal goals.
🚫 But internal barriers, perverse incentives, and administrative overload often limit what they can truly achieve.

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.

Below our response.

Preventing new introductions of highly invasive species with growing presence in the international pet trade is essential to halt their further spread.

Carlos Cano-Barbacil @canobarbacil.bsky.social · Apr 7

Range expansions of both Asian loaches in Europe could lead to an increased distribution overlap with populations of the native M. fossilis, with projections showing P. dabryanus increasing from a current overlap of 0.1% to 4.1% and M. anguillicaudatus from 0.2% to 32.8%.

Carlos Cano-Barbacil @canobarbacil.bsky.social · Apr 7

Our results indicate that both species could spread globally and become invasive in temperate regions of Europe, North and South America, the south-eastern coast of Australia and Asia.

Carlos Cano-Barbacil @canobarbacil.bsky.social · Apr 7

For this purpose, we used species distribution models to estimate the potential global environmental suitability for both Asian loaches and to identify key variables determining current distributions.

Carlos Cano-Barbacil @canobarbacil.bsky.social · Apr 7

In this study, we evaluated the potential of the large-scale loach (Paramisgurnus dabryanus) and the dojo weatherloach (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus) to establish outside their native range, and address potential impacts on the threatened European weatherfish (Misgurnus fossilis).

Carlos Cano-Barbacil @canobarbacil.bsky.social · Apr 7

The introduction of non-native species is a major driver of biodiversity loss, posing a growing threat to freshwater ecosystems globally. This includes two Asian fish species that have recently been detected outside their native range in Europe, North America and Australia.

Do you work on lakes globally? Check out what is, to my mind, the most complete global database of lakes (~6M) and associated attributes, newly published in WRR. Also the basis for SWOT lake data. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Map of global lake distribution, colored by the number of SWOT overpasses per 21 day cycle. There are many lakes with a high number of SWOT overpasses at high northern latitudes, but there are also tens of thousands to more than a million lakes on every continent. Lakes are graphed by latitude and longitude on the edges of the figure.
