What an honour! 😊 🤩 I realised that the famous data platform "Our World in Data" has now our data set of first records of alien species on their platform. I use this platform quite a lot and I am happy and proud to find our data set there 🤩 https://t.co/ebRKIYD8Hy

The number of established alien species and the year they were first recorded outside of their native range. A species may be counted multiple times, once for each new country they are found in.

1️⃣ 🌍 Fresh out in #Science! The Asian tropics are among the most biodiverse places on Earth, but where does all that diversity come from? 🤔🔍 We used 🌴 phylogenomics and 🦴 new fossils to unravel the roles of different regions in generating and distributing species! #Evolution

Are acoustic indices useful? Acoustic indices are increasingly used to analyse bioacoustics data, but many studies correlate indices only with single species richness (e.g., birds) and flag inconsistent performance.
