@neobiota.pensoft.netInvasive species not only disrupt habitats, but can also reshape entire food webs across borders.
This new review shows how non-native species reshape nutrient & energy flows between #ecosystems, yet huge gaps remain in #fungi, #microbes, and the Global South.

@neobiota.pensoft.netThe widespread distribution and genetic diversity of the invasive #crayfish plague pathogen (Aphanomyces astaci) across Croatian #freshwater #ecosystems have been revealed through nationwide molecular testing.

@neobiota.pensoft.netDo #damselflies fear invasive #crayfish more than native ones? Well, not always.
Warming and day length changed how larvae responded to predator cues, so whether a predator is new isn't the only thing that shapes how prey respond.

@neobiota.pensoft.net🪲 An inventory of non-native insects in China has been compiled, revealing 241 species that have been primarily introduced from Asia and North America, with their numbers increasing exponentially since 1900.

@neobiota.pensoft.netA new risk model combines climate, habitat, and shipping data to map where two North American longhorn beetles (Saperda candida & S. tridentata) could invade Europe. Central and western Europe show the highest risk, driven by suitable habitat plus dense trade connectivity.
@neobiota.pensoft.netA field study on invasive pine control in New Zealand finds aerial herbicide spraying achieves >90% mortality but leaves surviving large trees behind, while ground-based methods struggle with small seedlings under 60cm.
@neobiota.pensoft.netIf unmanaged, the German wasp could cost South Africa's fruit, wine grape, and household pest control sectors US$160-300M over 50 years, a new study finds, justifying eradication spending up to $3-6M/year, or investment in slowing its spread.

@neobiota.pensoft.netA new study finds fear alone can curb an invader: risk cues from European #eels reduced invasive round goby foraging on chironomid larvae, with conspecific alarm cues cutting attack rate most.
Healthy eels could help limit the goby's impact: doi.org/10.3897/neob...
@neobiota.pensoft.netAs #PeerReviewWeek comes to a close, we are wrapping up with words from Prof. @tbrresearch.bsky.social, E-i-C of our journal on the future of peer review.
Huge thanks to all our editors & reviewers for supporting quality #science! 🙏

@neobiota.pensoft.net#Citizenscience rarely beats official records at spotting invasive wood-boring forest pests early (only ~2.5% of cases, per a new study). But it shines in mapping how #pests spread afterward.

@neobiota.pensoft.net🐝In suburban Europe, goldenrod-dominated patches attracted more honey bees and hoverflies, but wild #bees and butterflies showed up less. These findings indicate taxon-specific redistribution of pollinator activity rather than simple #pollinator diversity decline.

@neobiota.pensoft.net🎤 It was a pleasure to attend the keynote talk of GfÖ Honorary Medal 2026 awardee Prof. Dr. Isabell Hensen at #NordicOikosGfÖ2026!
🏞️ For 37 years, Hensen has been following the impact of global change on the spectacular Polylepis forests in the Andean region.

@pensoft.netReposted by @neobiota.pensoft.net📍 We're at #NordicOikosGfÖ2026 in Odense, Denmark, this week, showcasing our work as a consortium member of @obsgession.eu and presenting our ecology-focused portfolio.
🤝 We look forward to meeting you all at our designated booth!
@neobiota.pensoft.netIt was a pleasure to attend a talk by Emili García-Berthou, Subject Editor at NeoBiota, titled "Horizon Scans of #Invasive Non-Native Species in Spain" last week at #NeoBiota2026.
We were also thrilled to see him win 2nd place for his poster on the same topic! 🎉
