🌿 This past month, we hosted PhD student Gorgias Aikpon (Univ. of Abomey-Calavi, Benin)! His PhD explores the ecology, distribution & management of two invasive plants: Jack in the Bush and Pignut.

During his stay, he developed species distribution models to predict their potential distributions. 🗺️

🛣️ CamAlien hits the road!

We’ve just delivered it to Ascendi, the first Portugal Living Lab stakeholder of @onestop-project.eu to test it in real highway conditions.

An exciting step for invasive species detection! 🌾

🎓 Big congratulations to Maria Marques on defending her Master’s thesis!

Her thesis explored how elite anglers perceive invasive species — a great contribution to science and management. 🌿🎣

We wish her the best in what comes next! 🌍✨

🌿 On June 20th @jrvicente.bsky.social joined curious young minds from Colégio João Paulo II, Braga, to tackle Tradescantia fluminensis, an invasive plant threatening local biodiversity.

🌱 Learning by doing, growing by caring — that’s how future stewards are made!

✨ This post is in Portuguese to celebrate our São João traditions, but we haven’t forgotten our international friends!

🎈 As lanterns rise and songs are sung,
Saints are praised in every tongue.
But if an invader comes our way,
science is here to save the day!
