🚀🚀 Just published in #Oikos:
*Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective*
What if making Mars or other planet habitable means deliberately introducing Earth species? We explore this ultimate ecological experiment through the lens of #invasionscience (propagule pressure, boom-bust dynamics, secondary invasions, and the very real risks of unintended ecological surprises...) but on a #planetary scale.

We highlight:
1) Conceptual flaws (e.g. assuming zero-sum displacement of native biomass)

2) Empirical issues (including a notable numerical inconsistency in the original paper's flagship Australian herbivore example)

3) Limited utility for management prioritization or cross-taxon comparisons
Invasion science needs context-aware, population-level, and impact-integrated approaches (like EICAT/SEICAT, GIRAE, etc.), not oversimplified aggregate metrics.

🚨 New Paper 🚨

Just published in #BioScience:

"Total biomass as a metric for biological invasion magnitude: conceptual fallacies, empirical inconsistencies, and limited utility"

We argue that using total biomass of non-native species as a simple proxy for invasion "magnitude" sounds elegant—but it comes with serious problems.
Why? Biomass alone ignores per-unit effects, context-dependency, trophic differences, and vacant niches. One tonne of invasive plant doesn't equal one tonne of top predator in ecological impact.

🚨 New paper 🚨
Proud to have been part of this. This wok gives a comprehensive overview on establish non-native (#alien) species in @Turkey. With @SerhanTarkan and many others.

The first comprehensive non-native species list in Türkiye has been published in @NeobiotaJournal. It documents 271 established non-native #species across 160 families, providing a key resource for protecting the country's #biodiversity⤵️

This is going to be the #impact focused #invasion #reference thanks to the contribution of so many incredible #authors

🚨New paper alert🚨
We recently published the first comprehensive #review on the #spread of #invasive #species in Biological Reviews.
Iz is the first comprehensive work synthesizing the current literature on how #alien #nonnative #species spread!

w/ @SKatsanevakis @serhantarkan @ismasoto @TeunEverts and many others.

It is the third review after one on #terminology https://t.co/J1vmZZSxEx
and on #impacts
https://t.co/QzrklObQF5
(and a final 4th one coming soon!)

This is the first review on impacts and would not have been possible without the help and input from so many, including @SKatsanevakis @TeunEverts @SerhanTarkan @ismasoto @TrashTalkRes and many more #invasivespecies @Invasivesnet @InvasiveInfo #Science

[Dr. Phillip J. Haubrock @HaubrockPhillip]

New open-access review in #BiologicalReviews: The spread of #nonnative #species.
While introductions are well studied, spread—the step that turns them into large-scale invasions—has lacked a cross-system synthesis.

Finally out!
In this review, we crossed the #InvaCost database with #FAO data to assess the costs of #invasivespecies introduced for #aquaculture worldwide.

A highly (in a dire way) 👁️opening response was published today in #BioScience: https://t.co/CENg5QB81n
It critiques our review in BioReviews: https://t.co/1yJnYlO6PF
Before taking sides/sharing 🔥takes, I urge everyone: read both. Opinions should come after understanding.
