Arnau participated in the II Spanish Botany Congress. He co-organized the symposium “Invasive flora: from cataloging to management, through ecology & evolutionary biology”. He also presented his PhD plan on identifying plant invasion syndromes in mountains globally (part of the MIREN project) 🌍⛰️.

Me and @agneskreiling.bsky.social have seen a lot of cool species while on vacation in #Spain: #chamalaeon, #flamingo, #octopus and a huge #robberfly.

It has been a treat visiting @Theresahenke.bsky.social and hear about her work on #bioinvasions.

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! :)

Within PRISMA we will compare a global perspective (lead by IRIS) to the occurrence of invasion syndromes in plant invasions found in the Sierra Nevada mountain range (lead by the Cordoba team).

On April 3rd Ana, Arnau, Paula, and Theresa headed to Cordoba for the PRISMA kick-off meeting. Together with a team of researchers lead by Pablo González Moreno, we will investigate invasion syndromes in plant invasion in mountains over the next four years.

Stay tuned for exciting PRISMA updates!
