🤔 With AlienSMART, visitors were invited to decided where a single team should act across three invasion scenarios. With younger visitors, we explored invasive species, their impacts and how to recognise and report them. 🙌 Thanks to everyone who took part! #AlienSMART #Invasivespecies

🔎 With @onestop-project.eu , we talked about CamAlien and it's capability to locate invasive plants, the AMI Trap, shown in a video, to monitor nocturnal insects, and PlantAlert to turn garden observations into information for early detection! #OneStop #EarlyDetection

InvasionS @invasionscience.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

🤝 SMART approach in action. Detecting, mapping and understanding invasive alien species is only part of the story. To act, we need tools built with the people who use them. #ComingSoon #AlienSMART #SEI2026

👽 Alien among us. Not all “aliens” come from space. Some are transported into new territories, establish, and start to spread... #ComingSoon #AlienSMART #SEI2026

InvasionS @invasionscience.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

Where have you observed invasive alien species most often? Riverbanks, roadsides, trails, parks, gardens, forests, coastal areas, agricultural areas… or somewhere else? 👀 #biodiversity #nature #invasivespecies #invasivealienspecies #mapping #landscape

InvasionS @invasionscience.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

📍 Location confirmed. One sighting is a data point. Many sightings become a map. Understanding where species appear, how they spread, and what patterns they form across the territory is what turns single observations into actionable knowledge. #ComingSoon #AlienSMART #SEI2026

InvasionS @invasionscience.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

📡 Signal detected. Some signals go unnoticed in the landscape. Others only reveal themselves when we start looking. This week, we’re sharing 5 clues. Follow along and see if you can piece it together before Day 5. 🧩 #ComingSoon #AlienSMART #SEI2026 #Biodiversity #Detection
