‼️🚨My first PhD paper out in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social
We built an automated camera system to detect plant–pollinator interactions (day & night) and compared networks from cameras vs. focal observations.

Ecological impacts of biological invasions are so numerous & diverse, it's a mess
+, we often mix mechanisms & impacts, causes & consequences
So, we created a structured typology of these impacts.
Now that it's done, it looks simple & obvious 🤓
