InvasionS
@invasionscience.bsky.social
🧑🏽🔬🪻Invasion Science (InvasionS) is a multidisciplinary working group of CIBIO's researchers and students focused on biological invasions. Group Leader: @jrvicente.bsky.social Visit our website: invasions.at.biopolis.pt
📺 @onestop-project.eu technologies in Serra da Aboboreira were featured on RTP! Discover how the AMI Trap and air eDNA samplers can support early detection, and AMDT’s role in the AlienSMART project Living Lab. 🌿 Watch the full feature on LinkedIn: tinyurl.com/4bmjs8zr #OneSTOP #AlienSMART

This month, we wrapped up another edition of the InvasionS Advanced Course! 🌿 Four days on remote sensing, UAVs, static and dynamic models, economics, and indicators for biological invasion management. Thank you to our participants and instructors! 💚 #InvasionScience #BiologicalInvasions #Ecology
🔎 New detection technologies are now running in the @onestop-project.eu Portuguese Living Lab! 🦋 AMI Trap and 🍃 air eDNA samplers will work side by side for 20 weeks in Serra da Aboboreira to test how they can improve invasive species detection and monitoring. #OneSTOPProject #InvasiveSpecies
🧩✨ The puzzle is complete. Meet AlienSMART! AlienSMART is developing a WebGIS Decision-Support System to improve the reporting and management of invasive alien species. #AlienSMART #InvasiveSpecies #SEI2026 #InvasionS
🤝 SMART approach in action. Detecting, mapping and understanding invasive alien species is only part of the story. To act, we need tools built with the people who use them. #ComingSoon #AlienSMART #SEI2026
🌿 Yesterday we held the second stakeholder meeting of the @onestop-project.eu Portugal Living Lab! We shared CamALIEN updates, presented new OneSTOP technologies — AMITrap and airDNA — and promoted a citizen science session on detecting and reporting silent invaders. 🪱🦋🧬 #OneSTOP #SEI2026
👽 Alien among us. Not all “aliens” come from space. Some are transported into new territories, establish, and start to spread... #ComingSoon #AlienSMART #SEI2026
📍 Location confirmed. One sighting is a data point. Many sightings become a map. Understanding where species appear, how they spread, and what patterns they form across the territory is what turns single observations into actionable knowledge. #ComingSoon #AlienSMART #SEI2026
📢Right before #BiodiversityDay, we invite you to our #BioBlitz next week 👉The #BioBlitz is an in-person #IAS detection activity focused on the Obama worm, an invasive species expanding in Portugal 📅 27 of May 🕥 10.30 a.m 📍Multipurpose room - Quinta do Crasto, BIOPOLIS-CIBIO .
🪱🌿 Silent invaders also matter! As part of SEI 2026 join the @onestop-project.eu BioBlitz and help collect key data to detect and monitor the Obama worm spread! 📍 BIOPOLIS-CIBIO 🕥 10.30 a.m.
📡 Signal detected. Some signals go unnoticed in the landscape. Others only reveal themselves when we start looking. This week, we’re sharing 5 clues. Follow along and see if you can piece it together before Day 5. 🧩 #ComingSoon #AlienSMART #SEI2026 #Biodiversity #Detection

Proud to share that @cristinaglima.bsky.social successfully defended her PhD! 🎓🔥🌿 A brilliant defence on the complex relationship between biological invasions and fire dynamics. Congratulations, Dr. Cristina! 👏
🌿 New dataset on Zenodo! Developed within Patrícia Correia-Pinto’s PhD research, it compiles 1,798 indicators on biodiversity, ecosystems and ecosystem services from 25 initiatives. Explore it here: zenodo.org/records/1849...
🌿 InvasionS at ESP Conference! Patrícia Correia-Pinto will present on ecosystem service indicators for decision-making, and @evamalta.bsky.social on integrating biological invasions into ecosystem services accounting. Attending ESP? Come say hello and join the discussion! ☺️
🎓 Next Monday, our PhD student Cristina Lima will defend her thesis on Multi-scale interactions between wildfires and plant invasions in Anthropocene landscapes Her work explores the links between wildfires and invasive plants in Mediterranean landscapes 🔥 #PhDDefense #InvasiveSpecies #FireEcology
