In this special issue by @NeobiotaJournal we are welcoming contributions of #non-native #species lists from the #Global #South. Countries from the Global South are severely under-represented in biodiversity assessments which has to change. #invasivespecies #neobiota

Monocultures seem like green deserts but there’s hope: research led by @paternogb shows that ‘islands of diversity’ can be one solution to bring biodiversity back to these landscapes 💚

This, among many reasons, is why this is a very sad turn of events for the entire planet

Press release: Islands are key to protecting plant biodiversity 🏝️🌍🌴🌻🌸 https://t.co/QukEGMm5qo

We are on the search for 4 students to join our 2025 Internship Program. Please share with your networks and help us find the next rising stars in marine restoration! 📧 Interested? https://t.co/wqo1ZBySyC #MarineConservation #Internship #ProjectRestore

Sad fact about Latin American science: The last Nobel price received IN Latin America by a Latin American researchers was 54 years ago to Leloir in Argentina In 1984 Cesar Milstein 🇦🇷got one but while working in the UK Mario Molina🇲🇽 received one but while working in the USA

Day #2 of Biodiversity & Conservation field trip, today: sampling! Vegetation, birds, intertidal, physical attributes and more! @Patrick__Burke @MEG_MQ @mqnatsci

@mqnatsci

We kicked off the Biodiversity and Conservation field trip at the Sustainability Coal Loader Centre, North Sydney #day1 @Patrick__Burke @MEG_MQ @MQEarthEnv

A recent study led by C·I·B Core Team member Dr Sabrina Kumschick, and published in Bioscience, outlines a roadmap for developing and implementing positive or safe lists of alien species. Read more at:

Students at the Plant Growth facilities measuring photosynthesis in corn and sunflower plants 🌽 🌻 during our Plant Biology Monday pracs. Heat and wind couldn’t stop us 🌞🌬️thanks to @MasoodRna and Wenfeng, our amazing technical staff @MM_Kotowska @mqnatsci

Super interesting talk by social scientist A/Prof @SoniaGrahamBuch on the importance (and long term succession and motivation challenges) of community-led weed management groups, and an example of a community which managed to control bitou bush! 🌊 🌿 #AWC2024 #23rdAWC

Great talks by Peter Turner (Weeds Working Group) and social scientist Prof @SoniaGrahamBuch at the Environmental Biosecurity RD&E forum chaired by Matt Sheehan (Wild Matters) followed by an engaging panel discussion #AWC2024 #23rdAWC

Don’t buy Mr Fothergills Seeds (or “bee hotels”). I’ve reached out to them numerous times and they ignore my science and advice . They also have kept deleting all comments I make #beewashing #gardening #seeds #flowers

Plant biology pracs kicked off at @mqnatsci with Sydney plants ID: 23 species (22 natives and 1 invasive), the students were super engaged 🙌🏽 🌱 🌳 I am excited to see what they come up with in the coming ones ✨ 👩‍🔬 @MM_Kotowska

🌱 Are you in Australia and would like a weed to be targeted for biological control?! 🇦🇺 You can now nominate your weed! 🌾 How? Check this out! 📣

Dicen que no pueden ejecutar por el desorden que encontraron en la Agencia. Con mucho gusto, debatamos el punto de cara a la comunidad científica. Frenar los pagos ya es suficiente como para encima mentir descaradamente. Algunas pistas de la mentira... https://t.co/R6lcZicgYB

Want a postdoc on invasions in 🇿🇦? With @SANBI_ZA ?! Three opportunities here!! 😃 contact me if you want any tips on life at Stellenbosch 🤩😍🌍🙌🏽

PhD student Maggie Gil Fernández 🇲🇽 studies native Antechinus and rats, using traps 🪤 she checks their ectoparasites and studies the mycorrhizae in the soil that these animals might help spread, comparing National park and urban sites @JacoLeRoux01 @alexcarthey

I went to the field again today and learnt that Antechinus are not rodents 🙃🙈they are marsupials and have common sharp teeth and not the two classic large incisors of rodents like the native rats we also see at Maggie’s fieldwork at Ku-ring-gai NP and urban sites 🐀 @mqnatsci
