@KewUKOTs @TCIG_Press @KewScience @UKBCFs @Ecolog3stDutz Good to see that healthy populations are still present in these precious habitats.

[Colin Clubbe @CClubbe]

Fantastic habitat. Vital to conserve!

[Colin Clubbe @CClubbe]

Important to share this vital work as widely as possible to engage viewers with the threats posed by invasive species and solutions for dealing with them.

@KewUKOTs @tomopteris @KewScience @BVIGovernment @bvigovoff @qcrescente @juanviruel Will be interesting to analyse these data given the extremely high temperatures that the BVI has been experiencing. What impacts on the native species??

[Colin Clubbe @CClubbe]

Frightening how quickly invasive species can spread and the devastating impact they can have on native communities. Highlights vital need for good biosecurity and field monitoring to form an early warning system so control is possible.

@KewUKOTs @RSPBScience @KewScience @UKBCFs @qcrescente @tomopteris @BVIGovernment @bvigovoff Such important skills exchange. Herbarium specimens are the evidence for the existence of a particular plant species at a specific place and time and are crucial for monitoring. DNA will provide the evidence for the specific species being monitored.
