The next time someone claims that concern over biological invasions is misguided because "Nature isn't static and species ranges have always changed", think about how the same misleading argument is used to downplay human-driven climate change ("the climate has always changed").

🌱Do native & introduced species in a community follow the same assembly rules?
Using data from 50+ years of old-field succession, a recent study shows that they mostly do!

A team of our scientists is in Hobart training for the upcoming Denman Glacier campaign w. @AusAntarctic.
They'll collaborate w. scientists from @AntarcticSciAus & @Ant_Partnership to understand how #climatechange is impacting the region.

Our @monash_uni scientists have touched down in #Hobart ahead of their expedition to the Denman Glacier w. @ausantarctic.
It's tricky to pack light when you're off to #Antarctica for 2 months!

With just over 3 weeks left, our biodiversity team in the Bunger Hills have completed 50% of their sampling.
They've been collecting lake water, moss & soil samples, & conducting surveys to better understand the biodiversity in the region.

Do people want landscapes to be rewilded? The answer is a resounded yes! Our open-access paper from @TERRANOVA4EU is out on @peopleandnature today, lead by Rowan Capper. A thread 👇1/9
Biodiversity is essential for human survival.
But in Antarctica - and around the world - flora and fauna are threatened by the climate crisis.
We must protect our common home for the sake of the planet & for the generations that will come after us.
