Great News! If you have not yet submitted your abstract for the most anticipated conference on plant invasions being held this year, there is still enough time to do so. The deadline has been extended until 28 February 2025. By submitting an abstract for EMAPI 2025, you’ll have the chance to be part of a dynamic conference where scientists and researchers from around the world will come together to explore the challenges and solutions surrounding invasive alien plants, and share their ideas and findings. This is a fantastic opportunity to engage with leading experts and emerging voices in the field. Plus, with the conference being held in New Zealand - widely regarded as one of the most stunning destinations on Earth - it’s an event you won’t want to miss! We have eight main themes for the conference that tackle some of the major questions in the study of plant invasions: EMAPI 2025 Conference Themes * Risk assessment tools for invasion, impact and response * Management of invasive plants in protected areas * Role of communities and citizens in plant invasions * Impacts of invasive plants on ecosystem services * Threat of plant invasions on islands * Climate change and plant invasions * Biocontrol of environmental weeds * Managing pathways of plant invasions Key Dates Abstract submission deadline Notification of abstract acceptance Presenter registration deadline 15 February 2025 28 February 2025 1 April 2025 1 May 2025 Submit your Abstract Here<http://mail.eventsairmail.com/ls/click?upn=u001.zo-2Fic1Fx5T0Z2NL4miKgEITNx1MbCet69L4aF6Rm-2FzGc1AtdOCXxj4noo09MVnOKe97c0ZJz2FUfi6WMhI5XboI4EuBeejs22F1dWKTd2L0-3DNYr1_s4s3CAiQifknn9tUfiEZ-2FaPUdEpHbAIj5jISYVJ7lCSN-2F4LXrECASj-2BJMxzIZx8VZER79w4fUVCvDUQTAB7oWiX-2BLqQidrsno-2B9-2Fctns8a79C5DcQrvGr9r5szsjeYAMZU6E7B0XT3IGy1baQ2FdIANmo3SKXWgaY4ObjRLx5Y-2BaukY8uosqOxNdcZhJ1kX6alB5EIZhNFm21wSh4P8igKxL8mmwlMhk2Ix9CjzXjxNA7VzOON7xSfNQ4wKgxVrJ32m04WOFlHTJsZJB8qwftTw4iw-2BzFiW842Ken-2B5hNP6EfVLIcHnraYJph26OYu8F3-2BkeHUOWwm1h1cFbMsyVBwJb5mBEJzTfrBVODCik8IA49MaDXfe1p-2FOQS-2FiKQdjAD5blc1C-2BpYXg5gDN3nlVTw-3D-3D> [https://mcusercontent.com/1ab5f1fecda9f767fecf6a8d9/images/d01776e3-641b-5f40-6982-ea8cf33e4853.png] EMAPI 2025 Registration Fees are available!

Kate earned her PhD in ecology from Victoria University of Wellington, where she studied the factors contributing to invasion success of Darwin’s barberry (Berberis darwinii). Since then, Kate has studied a broad range of environmental weed issues, such as the impacts of weeds on native seedling recruitment, seed dispersal and seedling shade tolerance of weeds, native plant responses to weed control, native succession in woody weed stands, and native species as weeds. In 2024, Kate led the update of the list of environmental weeds in New Zealand, adding 112 new species. Currently, Kate is leading a team to develop a digital ‘Smart Weed Alert Tool’ that will improve our ability to detect new weed incursions early. Kate also represents DOC on several national governance groups, including the National Pest Plant Accord and the National Biocontrol Collective. Kate posts her weedy work stories to Instagram (@katemcweedatwork) and was recently interviewed for the ‘Nature Conversations’ podcast. In her free time, Kate likes to walk, play drums, and create art out of plant material – including weeds (plantart.nz).

He was also a foundering Director of the Laboratory of Biological Invasions (LIB) and co-founder of the Mountain Invasion Research Network (MIREN). His research is focused on the ecology of biological invasions and their impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem functions. His collaborators and him have been looking at invasion processes from local to large intercontinental scales. Anibal is also interested in the conservation of natural areas and how biodiversity should be conserved across the whole anthropogenic gradient from protected areas to urban environments. In recent years, he has been increasingly interested on environmental policy and how conservation can be move to real action. Anibal has published over 170 indexed publications, more than 10 book chapters and three books. He is an associated editor in several journals including Biological Invasions and Conservation Letters. Anibal has received several national and international awards including the 2018 Cooper Award by the Ecological Society of America (ESA). He has served as a Lead Author for the IPBES Regional Assessment of the Americas and as co-chair of the IPBES invasive species assessment.
