*It's Arrived!* After the longest gestation period of all my books - an advance copy of 'Grasshoppers', and it looks pretty fantastic. So, very pleased.
🧐Preventing introduction/reintroduction of #InvasiveAlienSpecies of Union concern (EU Reg. 1143/2014 Art 15). The Netherlands reported the detection of Alternanthera philoxeroides, Broussonetia papyrifera, Humulus scandens & Lygodium japonicum as contaminant on imported plants .
👉 Simulation studies mimic real-world scenarios and allow researchers to study biodiversity trends without distributing ecosystems.
💡 With #gcube you can create a simulation framework for biodiversity data yourself!
