The first publication of our research group @BiTE_UHasselt within the @CMK_Uhasselt on invasive land planarians! Nice Dutch-French-Belgian collaboration with financial support of the @Secretariat_IAS at @BelgianNatural.

In order to design effective policy to control the spread of non-native land flatworm species across Europe, researchers explore the distribution of select species across the continent, with a focus on the Netherlands. 🔗 doi.org/10.3897/neobio…

The substantial delay between the naturalisation and publication of grasses in Hawai‘i is illustrative of a wider problem among many taxonomic groups around the world, which is hampering the study of the spread of invasions globally. 🔗 doi.org/10.3897/neobio… @uhmanoa

Researchers compare basal metabolic rates, body and nutritional condition and body size between native and invasive common waxbills in South Africa. 🔗 doi.org/10.3897/neobio…

Functional trait interactions drive seed buoyancy and dispersal strategies in Echinocystis lobata. 🔗 doi.org/10.3897/arphap… @NeobiotaJournal

Lessons and challenges in creating alien species lists: insights from South Africa's national reports on the status and management of biological invasions. 🔗 doi.org/10.3897/arphap… @NeobiotaJournal

Mathieu Denoël of the University of Liège presents insights from paedomorphic newts in introduced populations. 🔗 doi.org/10.3897/neobio… #invasivespecies

Researchers present the first description of shell disease in the non-indigenous Atlantic rock crab (Cancer irroratus) in Icelandic waters, including a significantly concerning upward trend. 🔗 doi.org/10.3897/neobio…

NeoBiota has received a new Journal Impact Factor and remains in Q1 for Biodiversity Conservation. neobiota.pensoft.net/news/913

A new article from the Guardian explores the spread of invasive raccoons in Europe, featuring research from our journal on their diet of endangered mussels in western Poland. theguardian.com/environment/20…

The invasive North American Impatiens capensis could colonise European habitats of native Impatiens noli-tangere, raising concerns over the native species' long-term persistence due to its narrower ecological tolerance and weaker performance. 🔗 doi.org/10.3897/neobio…
