Our new paper in @GEC_Journal finds that biological invasions have cost agriculture, fisheries and forestry over $600 billion globally since 1970

Extrapolations suggest that their costs could run into the $-trillions

I don’t think there’s a single “how to do a thing” blog I send people more often than @LucyStats ‘s piece on propensity scores. Undefeated

New publication! This is part of my PhD thesis and P. Paraguayensis could be an interesting biocontrol agent for Ludwigia hexapetala @fuedei @Alejandro4Sosa

Calling all ant ecologists, what are the go-to resources for identification and systematics of Afrotropical ants?

We are starting some work on ants in South Africa, and I am clueless.

Any recommendations would be much appreciated. 🙏

Wonderful refresher:

"You need 16 times the sample size to estimate an interaction than to estimate a main effect"
