To me, it seems highly unlikely that 'invasivory' will solve any problem, but could conceivably create perverse incentives that exacerbate existing invasive species problems. #bioinvasions
It starts in a couple of hours. Do not miss it!

What if part of the solution could be… served? 🍽️🐠
On 22 October, the lionfish moves from sea to plate as we explore new opportunities for gastronomy and coastal communities.

Introducing Dr John Darling! 🧬
We are thrilled to announce the first of our keynote speakers for ICMB XIII. John Darling is joining us in Cape Town to share his insights on marine biosecurity surveillance.
We’ll be announcing a new keynote each week – watch this space.

Flashback to one of the more surprising discoveries we have made in recent years: redpath-staff.mcgill.ca/ricciardi/Ri... #bioinvasions
I love Morton's (1978) candid description of Brazilian pepper (a notorious invasive tree in Florida) as having been "frivolously introduced" and whose control is opposed by "misguided plant lovers" & "profit motivated beekeepers". #bioinvasions

We recognise it instantly. 🐠 But how much do we really know about lionfish?
On 21–22 October in Santorini, scientists, fishers and the local community will explore how an ecological threat can become an opportunity.
