Quote: "Science has spent generations learning to see nature more clearly. Its next advance will depend on learning to see humans within itโand modeling how human actions shape biodiversity."
This is precisely what invasion ecology has aimed to do, for decades now. #bioinvasions
Quote: "We found that in addition to anthropogenic propagule pressure, more non-native species tended to occur in cities with greater urbanization, as indicated by higher habitat modification, warmer temperatures and lower native biodiversity." www.nature.com/articles/s44... #bioinvasions

The zebra mussel continues to invade Canadian lakes. #bioinvasions www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Mass invasions occurred in the prehistoric past; but under human influence, species are moving exponentially faster, farther, & in greater numbers than at any other time in Earth's history, creating novel evolutionary pressures on naive biotas. #bioinvasions

More evidence that zebra mussel invasions can have detrimental effects on fisheries, in this case involving contaminant cycling. #bioinvasions

Native to North Africa but globally invasive, Aedes aegypti is a vector for dengue, Zika & yellow fever, among other diseases. It could have been imported accidentally to London in several ways. According to experts, it cannot yet persist longterm in a U.K. climate. #bioinvasions
