Reshaping Nature 2026

Thanks to everyone who helped make our 2026 symposium, Reshaping Nature: Invasive species and biodiversity on a changing planet, a huge success!

This one-day, free symposium brought 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 had a variety of presentations across disciplines that advanced invasion science, biodiversity conservation, climate science, ecological forecasting, management strategies, social dimensions of invasions, and related fields. We’re already looking forward to the next Reshaping Nature!

Invited Speakers

We had an exciting lineup of speakers at Reshaping Nature 2026, including Tia-Lynn Ashman (keynote, University of Pittsburgh), Rob Guralnick, (keynote, University of Florida), Daijiang Li (University of Wisconsin–Madison), Barnabas Daru (Stanford University), Jason Fridley (Clemson University), Jacob Barney (Virgina Tech), and Elizabeth Wolkovich (University of British Columbia).
