友人が見つけてきた論文が面白い。台湾に侵入したオオヒキガエル個体群封じ込めのまとめなんだけど、やるべきことを横断的な協力によりしっかりやってるのが本当にすごい。早期に人海戦術で対応し、ボランティアへの教育もばっちり。ITの使い方も激うまで国レベルのEDRRシステムまで開発してる。しかも、コロナ禍のさなか。

台湾のものを見るといつも「文明国は違うぜ」ってなるけど、こいつは心洗われるレベルの楽しさよ。機械翻訳でアブストとイントロだけサラッとで良いからみんな読んで。

"台湾における侵入性オオヒキガエル（Rhinella marina）に対する全国規模の早期発見・迅速対応（EDRR）"

A national-scale early detection and rapid response (EDRR) to invasive cane toads (Rhinella marina) in Taiwan - Biological Invasions

Early detection and rapid response (EDRR) is widely recognized as a key strategy for managing invasive species, yet well-documented early-stage outcomes remain uncommon. Following the first detection ...

CafeFantasia 💫 Disneyland Paris

@cafefantasia.bsky.social

At 4:20pm, we entered Disneyland Park and I saw the "new" Sleeping Beauty Castle plaque for the first time. 🏰

It's bigger and more striking than the original EDRR plaque, but feels a bit dumbed down as it replaces land theming with park branding.

Kudzu, Pueraria montana var. lobata, is also known as the weed that ate the south. The few times it has been found in Washington it has luckily been found and eradicated. Help us keep Washington kudzu free by keeping an eye out and reporting if you see it!

A recently published paper by @teuneverts.bsky.social, @adriaenstim.bsky.social, and the team @inbo.be explores the use of Early-detection-rapid response and environmental DNA (eDNA)in dealing with the African clawed frog invasion.

SO MANY LISTS, but the EDRR ones do serve a bit of a different purpose. I have developed an EDRR prioritization tool that is super easy to assess...They are rapid assessments. Happy to chat if there is interest!!

Major invader if given half a chance. It's on nearly every EDRR list here in the SE.

With recent events in America, and here in Australia in the last few days some hospitals have said they will no longer perform abortions unless medical necessity, this song by ani difranco from years ago is more relevant then ever. A live version from 2010 (1/2)

Shout out to the Ventura Land Trust as they protect, restore, and connect the community to nearly 4,000 acres in Ventura County! Their small but mighty team manages invasive species, converts trail edges to native habitat, and surveys for EDRR species.

Yes. It was a good meeting. We reviewed the EDRR plant list and mentioned your assessments. We have more work to do, but I think we are on a good path to crosswalk our list with IFAS assessments and think about what tier we think species should be at. But sometimes I think we have too many lists.
