New global study! 🏔️🌱 Non-native plants don’t just follow mountain roads—they spread along hiking trails too, even off-trail. MIREN data from 9 regions shows trails are key invasion pathways. the3dlab.org/2025/06/02/non… #InvasionEcology #MIREN #Mountains #Biodiversity

Using species distribution and connectivity models, researchers identify key corridors likely to facilitate the continued spread of invasive raccoons across Europe. 🔗 doi.org/10.3897/neobio… #invasivespecies

How invasive species can affect angling 🎣 | Invasive fish & invertebrates can outcompete with and spread diseases to native sportfish or alter food webs (learn more: bit.ly/3FkzpeZ) and invasive plants can alter aquatic habitats (learn more: bit.ly/3cQ3tMW).

🌎This global-scale study reveals invasive plant diversity is shaped by geography, climate, socioeconomics, and trade. Nearly 1/3 of countries show phylogenetic clustering. These findings call for tailored regional management strategies👇 buff.ly/wJhGKTi
