Keynote speaker Amy Freestone starting with a great discussion on the relationship between latitudinal gradients and bioinvasions / biodiversity / biotic resistance. High predation pressure on sessile non-indigenous species (mostly ascidians) in the tropics. Amazing video of fish predation.#ICMB2025

🌊 We surveyed #MPA managers in Greece & Cyprus on tools for assessing MPA effectiveness. ✅ Results are in!
Next: National Focus Group, Oct 10 in Athens, to refine the tool for the #Mediterranean.

Jane Goodall showed the world there is an important place for emotion, empathy & advocacy in science. Her unconventional approach revolutionized our understanding of the other beings we share Earth with.

Here's my tribute. Vale Jane Goodall 💔 Thank you for all you gave humanity!

RIP Jane Goodall, who has died at 91.

She was a gentle disrupter who reshaped how we understand our place in nature. Her research with chimpanzees revolutionized science, and her boundless optimism touched the world.

A photo of Jane Goodall, in her later days with a quote from her: "The greatest danger to our future is our apathy. Each one of us must take responsibility for our own lives, and above all, show respect and love for living things around us, especially each other."

Day 2 of the #GuardIAS meeting was all about our 11 case studies!

Great to see the nitty-gritty of using eDNA & drones for detection, modelling population spread, and launching new citizen science projects.

Also got a preview of upcoming online events from at @invasivesnet.bsky.social.
