A novel remote sensing application for the marine environment was presented at the ESA BioSpace25 conference.  The conference also provided a valuable opportunity to connect with other Biodiversa+ consortium members. https://biospace25.esa.int/

CLIMATE INVASIVE project and work was presented at Baltic Coast Dialog workshop Invasive Species Management 30-31 January, under the title “Biodiversa + project CLIMATE INVASIVES, how climate change contributes to species invasions “ More information on workshop and program: https://www.baltic-coast-dialog.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Coastal-Biodiversity-Management-Workshop-Program.pdf

Today Climate Invasives was invited to present our research project at the kick-off meeting for the Horizon Europe funded project GuardIAS (Guarding European Waters from Invasive Alien Species). The aim was to find possible collaborations and after several interesting presentations it was clear that there are many promising collaborations! Thanks to GuardIAS and all the

In Climate Invasives we use the Atlantic blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) as a model organism for a “climate invasive”, i.e. an invasive species whose spread is favored by the ongoing climate change. We have now sampled the first crabs in the Mediterranean (Italy) for genetic analyzes and to develop protocols for eDNA sampling of blue

Results from habitat modelling of a Blue Crab were presented alongside with the project NorScen – Nordiske klimaScenarioer (Nordic climate Scenarios) funded by The Nordic Council of Ministers (NCM) programme Marine Management and Climate at the Vision conference in Gothenburg at 13th of November arranged by NCM and hosted by SMHI. “My presentation focused on
