New empirical paper with @AlienImpacts dream team (@HarryShepherd_ @ma_perez_nav Jane Catford) published today @JEcology - we show plant consumers significantly alter seedling survival, with implications esp for community assembly, plant invasion and ERH! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
Brilliant talk from @HarryShepherd_ @AlienImpacts demonstrating historical contingency in grasslands, and that this can be mechanistically predicted! #BES2023
Climate change may help invasive species outcompete native flora & fauna. @HarryShepherd_ of the @AlienImpacts project at @kclgeography evaluates the findings of a new study and what it means for the planet, in @ConversationUK. Read⬇️ theconversation.com/extreme-weathe… @KCLSustainable
At #BES2023 @BritishEcolSoc and interested in the enemy release hypothesis or plant invasion? Come along to session S9 (room 3B) at 12pm tomorrow to find out more!
Giving a talk at #BES2023 - 16:45 in S10 Community Ecology. Come find out if you can predict the composition of a grassland community 30 years after initial seeding…

Delighted to see this out in @Ecology_Letters after two years of work! We provide a mechanistic reframing of the #EnemyReleaseHypothesis that reconciles previous inconsistencies, unifies enemy-related invasion hypotheses, and enhances predictive capacity! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
Even the grasshoppers @CedarCreekESR are keen to get involved in the data collection for @AlienImpacts #EnemyRelease research!
As @JaneCatford et al. 2022 argue in their paper "Recognising and addressing the different sources of context dependence should facilitate increased understanding, prediction, and generalisation in ecology". Time to revisit this amazing paper: cell.com/trends/ecology…
A great three weeks @CedarCreekESR coming to an end soon, restarting the #MechER (mechanisms of enemy release) experiment, plus establishing new monocultures, all as part of @AlienImpacts! Look forward to being back in July!
Thrilled to be back in 🇺🇸@CedarCreekESR (despite the clear allegiance on my beanie) to revisit, restart and resample the @AlienImpacts experiment set up last year! A bit chillier than the last time I was here… @JaneCatford @HarryShepherd_

Brilliant @AlienImpacts workshop exploring synergies between our invasion work and @nutnet expertly led by @JaneCatford & @ma_perez_nav, feat. @HarryShepherd_ @urban_sci @e_seabloom @e_borer @SophiaCarmelT (+Billy the lab lab), with discussion, 'walkshops' and pub trips!
We had a fantastic turnout for our Climate Conversations +Seed Swap. Big thank you to our speakers: 🌱@LeonieHampton 🌱 @JaneCatford Reader in Ecology 🌱Catherine Causley, Climate Officer 🌱garden designer Lulu Urquhart 🌱Marc Cadotte, professor biological sciences @urban_sci
Apply for a working group @CedarCreekESR to address exciting new questions in #ecology w data from @CedarCreekESR @USLTER & other sources. Review begins April 3. @umncbs @NEON_sci @NutNetGlobal @ucsb_nceas @DragnetGlobal @DroughtNet @EDIgotdata drive.google.com/file/d/1-wO-uY…
In the 2023 King's Artists cohort by @CulturalKings, our academic, Dr @JaneCatford will collaborate with artist Léonie Hampton of @StillMovingCIC on a creative project. Theme: 'Perceptions of ‘nativeness’ through the lens of ‘alien’ plants' Read more! bit.ly/3R7QXvX
Exceptionally excited about this bunch joining our King's Artists programme! Welcome @LucyvandeWiel @idle_women @Chris_Manias @tillerina @jamiepereramuso @jonmarmstrong @DrAlanaGHarris @StillMovingCIC @JaneCatford @AlienImpacts kcl.ac.uk/news/launch-of…
Fantastic Opening Plenary at #22AWC @JaneCatford talking about the prevalence of ‘context dependence’ in invasion ecology research. Food for thought in designing invasion studies and options for management doi.org/10.1016/j.tree…
Dear friends at #NeoBiota2022, we really wish you are have an amazing meeting and like to ask for your help in spreading the news about the next EMAPi (International Conference on Ecology and Management of Alien Plant Invasions) @emapi2023. See you in Chile in October, 2023!

Starting the day off in important fashion at #NeoBiota2022 with @JaneCatford talking about context dependence - we need to work out why study conclusions may differ, not just declare that it’s due to context!

What a wonderful way to start the day with our first ever Disease Ecology and Diversity Lab meeting! Follow the lab twitter account @DisEcoDivLab to learn about all of our new work at @OSUAgSci Really excited to get started on this next chapter!
It's 2023 and we are still seeing "context-dependency" in #plantinvasions as a problem? There no other field that has used that term more often. Because the success of invasions ARE context dependent. The challenge is to understand the mechanistic explanations for this.
As @JaneCatford et al. 2022 argue in their paper "Recognising and addressing the different sources of context dependence should facilitate increased understanding, prediction, and generalisation in ecology". Time to revisit this amazing paper: cell.com/trends/ecology…
