Pictured here are four of the seven plenary speakers for the International Conference on Aquatic Invasive Species #icais2019, from right to left: Julie Lockwood, Alison Dunn, Shelley Arnott, and yours truly. #WomenInSTEM#WomeninScience
Propagule pressure vs colonization pressure not a clear distinction in the lit, where many lump colonization pressure in as part of the “tapestry” of propagule pressure. But Lockwood winning people over, including @EcoInvasions! #icais2019
.@AMAP_Arctic's Arctic #ClimateChange Update 2019:
If global warming is stabilized at 1.5°C, the probability of an ice-free summer in the high #Arctic occurring in any given year would be roughly 2%.
At 2°C, the probability would rise to 19–34%.

The second keynote presentation of the day at #ICAIS2019 will be Shelley Arnott from Queen's University
Discussing "Multiple Environmental Stressors Shape Community Response to Non-native Species"
Translational Ecology- I love the idea, integration of academics and policymakers is always a challenge. Let's talk to each other & learn to talk the same language. What we need from each group and how to work together to manage #invasivespecies#icais2019
DFO regulations are in place for management of AIS but standardization of processes based on science is required to help advise and mitigate risk of introduction #icais2019 @DFO_Central @DFO_Science how to spread limited funds & resources to protect the Arctic?
Simberloff: we know that early detection & rapid response (EDRR) is key to managing & preventing successful biological invasions. With insufficient professional resources one approach to EDRR is to create networks of educated citizenry. #CitizenScience#icais2019#bioinvasion
Early detection and rapid response is only part of the solution. Citizen science and informing the public are key to successfully restrictions of invasives #ICAIS2019 day 2 keynote by Daniel Simberloff. Looking forward to a full day of talks
changing behaviour around biosecurity with stakeholders and policy makers to illicit change and prevent of invasive species & disease outbreaks. Vector managment, secondary spread & biosecurity policy. Dr. Alison Dunn at #ICAIS2019
Conversations between enforcement agencies (Conservation & Boarder) makes the most effective AIS boat inspection operations in BC #icais2019 . Let's talk to each other! Bring science, policy and enforcement together 🤝
