Reshaping Nature 2026

We are pleased to announce our 2026 symposium, Reshaping Nature: Invasive species and biodiversity on a changing planet, taking place at the University of Florida Reitz Union on March 31, 2026. 

This one-day, free symposium will bring together researchers, practitioners, and students to explore emerging research results, new methods, and collaborative solutions for predicting, understanding, and managing invasive species and biodiversity in a rapidly changing world. 

We will have a variety of presentations across disciplines that advance invasion science, biodiversity conservation, climate science, ecological forecasting, management strategies, social dimensions of invasions, and related fields.
