- Reposted by GRECO-UdG🌐 Interest in invasion impacts has exploded since the 1980s—but growth in publications has not resolved core problems. Despite more data, comparability, context-dependence, and bias remain major obstacles to drawing robust conclusions across systems.
- Reposted by GRECO-UdG💡 Invasion #impacts extend far beyond ecology. They span #ecological, #economic, and #socio-cultural domains, often simultaneously—yet are shaped by data gaps, confounding factors, scale, and stakeholder values. Our framework shows why “impact” is never a single, simple number.

- Reposted by GRECO-UdGThe experiment also demonstrated that the interspecific effects of mosquitofish on toothcarp were more important than those of intraspecific competition. The invasive species produced effects on population growth rate, size structure, and fish condition (mass-length relationship) of toothcarp.
- Reposted by GRECO-UdGThe diversity of effects of mosquitofish underscores the difficulty of predicting the impact of #bioinvasions. We further provide an approach to differentiate the effects of resource competition from other more direct ecological interactions & so to clarify the impact mechanism of #bioinvasions. 🌎
