My problem with the original paper is its reckless application of invasion concepts to human migration. That would've been fine had it unambiguously showed how scientifically inappropriate such comparisons were, rather than offer weak critiques & claim that insights were to be gained from them. 1/🧵

We had a busy Invasive Species Week at @iris-eeza.bsky.social!! We joined the Macrobioblitz #SEI25, organized a public debate on invasions at La Guajira in Almería and were part of the organizing and scientific committees of IyrCIS (iyrcis.webs.uvigo.gal). Next year: more and better! :)
