Starting the week in Bogotá with an exchange with Colombian and European experts on invasive alien species data management.

Amazing to see what has been done in Colombia for harmonising and providing biodiversity.

Next stop #LivingData2025 conference starting tomorrow.

On my way to attend the #LivingData2025 conference in Bogotá, Colombia.

Very excited to get in contact to a new community, to meet friends and colleagues and to learn new stuff and advancements on biodiversity data.🙂
Welcome to Bogotá! 💛💙❤️

Ahead of #LivingData2025, the GBIF network has a packed schedule with our Global Nodes meeting and training, committee meetings and the 32nd GBIF Governing Board.

We're looking forward to connecting with new and familiar faces in #Colombia! 🌎

Buhuuuu 😭 Our proposal was rejected by biodiversa+ for the transformative change call ☹️☹️☹️

I know that this is not uncommon in science but it always sucks. We put quite some effort into this and it is such a nice one. Maybe next time.

Uncertainty in blacklisting potential Pacific plant invaders using species distribution models
SDMs can provide valuable support for planning the preventive management of alien species. However, our findings show that blacklist outcomes are highly sensitive to modelling decisions. While ensemb....

This week I had the pleasure of presenting our work on #biodiversity #impacts of companies at a workshop by Fauna & Flora, #IUCN and Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures #TNFD.

A fantastic opportunity to exchange across sectors.

Many thanks for having me! I enjoyed it very much. 🙏

Very excited to share this review. Stemming from the @ipbes.net IAS Assessment, it is the most comprehensive and up-to-date synthesis of the status of invasive alien species globally. An essential reference for anyone interested in #bioinvasions 🌎🌐 🧪 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

What an honour! 😊 🤩

I realised that the famous data platform "Our World in Data" has now our data set of first records of alien species on their platform.

I use this platform quite a lot and I am very happy (and proud) to find our data set there as well 🤩

Very interesting meeting of the #CBD inter-liaison group of #invasive alien #species!

A small group but with representatives from very different organisations from sectors of eg trade, tourism, agriculture, biodiversity. Amazing to see how much is going on. But this needs to be coordinated!

On my way to the meeting of the #CBD inter-liaison group on #invasive alien #species in Paris.

Looking forward discussing gaps and needs to meet the global biodiversity taget on #IAS

Second day our our @b-cubed.eu annual meeting. Discussing

- use of @gbif.org data cubes for modelling and indicators
- indicators of biodiversity change (incl. #bioinvasion indicators)
- stakeholder engagement
- uncertainty and robustness of results

Fascinating and challenging 🤓
