*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.

New paper out in *Conservation Biology*.
Biodiversity does not follow political borders — but conservation policy, funding, and data access still do. This mismatch fragments management and weakens conservation outcomes.

🚨 New paper altert 🚨
New review in BiologicalReviews: The #impacts of biological invasions.
We synthesize nearly a century of evidence across taxa and #ecosystems to clarify what invasion impacts are, how they arise, and why they are so hard to assess.

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.

Invasive nonnative species were among the major threats discussed at the UN Biodiversity Conference COP16. Despite scientific evidence for urgent management, pop media & opinion pages of journals give voice to animal rights ideologues who seek to dismiss concern. Hence, a repost:
