Invasive alien plants are a major cause of biodiversity loss. Their removal is often seen as the first step toward restoration, but recovery doesn’t always follow. 🌿 At #RAE2025 I presented our work on understanding legacy effects left behind even after invaders are gone.

During the round table we organized with Gisela Stolz (Universidad Andrés Bello) and Monica Ortiz (Universidad de Concepción) at #RAE2025 we discussed building an ecological practice grounded in values and responsibilities.

We had a very successful discussion table at #RAE2025, on the challenges and opportunities of managing invasive plants (and not only). With representatives from Argentina (Priscila Powell), Chile (Rafael Garcia), and Uruguay (Carolina Toranza). Silvia Ziller also sharing her experience online.

Bye bye Mendoza! #RAE2025

Terminando excelente reunión trinacional de ecología en Mendoza, fueron 5 días espléndidos de intercambio de conocimientos ecológicos de cono sur de Sudamérica. @iebchile.bsky.social @rae2025.bsky.social

Very moving keynote at #rae2025 with Dr Cockle and Nuñez entitled “Towards an anticolonial ecology: approaches to weaving ties, sharing power and sowing hope.”

The voice of Mapuche Machi Patricia at #rae2025 brought by the great Monica Ortiz. In her presentation she explains our belief that we need to weave our ways of knowledge to face the planetary crisis we're going through.

This monitoring plan allows for checking if the mining company is actually complying with the restoration of their damage and giving the power of knowledge and control during the plan #rae2025

Integrantes de Ecología y Biogeografía Funcional - Daniela Ramírez y yo - presentamos sobre la diversidad urbana de aves y resiliencia de ecosistemas semi-aridos @rae2025.bsky.social #mendoza #rae2025

David found that high density of vineyards makes fungi communities more susceptible to changes in temperatures. Also, at higher densities of vineyards, % cover of vineyards leads to a reduction of fungi diversity. #rae2025

David de la Cruz presenting his work on how the effects of climatic variables on the diversity of fungi in natural areas are modulated by the vicinity to vineyards. Particularly to the density of vineyards nearing natural areas. #rae2025

Tomas Ibarra talking about socioecological networks, what are the actors involved, & the drivers of change. Interesting to think about how biomemory is saved in actors within these networks on actors that can be human but also trees (e.g. the pehuen) and how social changes can disrupt this. #rae2025

Y #rae2025 partió en Mendoza! Un tremendo privilegio compartir con colegas de Chile, Uruguay y la Argentina @rae2025.bsky.social

Happy to be in Mendoza with @josemiguelcerda.bsky.social for #RAE2025

💬 I’m looking forward to awesome discussions and connecting with colleagues across the region. As well as seeing some friends ❤️
