1 ICAIS 2019 will feature an outstanding group of keynote speakers who have diverse expertise on the science and management of invasions in freshwater, terrestrial and marine systems Why Biogeographic Origins Matter to Invasion Science and Policy Dr. Anthony Ricciardi, Redpath Museum, McGill University, Canada Dr. Anthony Ricciardi is a Professor of Invasion Biology at the Redpath Museum & McGill School of Environment at McGill University. For 25 years, his research has examined the causes and consequences of biological invasions using field experiments, lab experiments, empirical modeling and meta-analysis. A recipient of the Frank Rigler Award, the highest honour given by the Canadian Society of Limnologists.

Managing Invasions on Land; What's Worked, What Hasn't, and What Might Dr. Daniel Simberloff, Nancy Gore Hunger Professor of Environmental Studies, University of Tennessee, USA Dr.

Much of his research focuses on causes, consequences, and management of biological invasions. His research projects are on insects, plants, fungi, birds, and mammals. He is a member of the U.S.

2 Managing Invasions on Land; What's Worked, What Hasn't, and What Might Dr. Daniel Simberloff, Nancy Gore Hunger Professor of Environmental Studies, University of Tennessee, USA Dr. Daniel Simberloff is the senior editor of the Encyclopedia of Biological Invasions and author of Invasive Species: What Everyone Needs to Know. Much of his research focuses on causes, consequences, and management of biological invasions. His research projects are on insects, plants, fungi, birds, and mammals. He is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. The Many Ways in Which Humans Assist Biological Invaders Post-Arrival Dr. Emma Johnston, University of New South Wales, Australia Dr. Emma Johnston is the Dean of Science and Professor of Marine Ecology and Ecotoxicology. Having published more than 140 peerreviewed articles and supervised more than 20 PhD graduates. She consults with industry through the development and implementation of new biomonitoring techniques and environmental monitoring programs. Professor Johnston is also a science communicator and television presenter for Coast Australia.

3 Multiple Environmental Stressors Shape Community Response to Non-Native Species Dr. Shelley Arnott, Department of Biology, Queen s University, Canada Dr. Shelley Arnott is a professor in the Department of Biology, Queen s University who uses a combination of field experiments, laboratory bioassays, and field surveys to advance our understanding of factors that regulate aquatic biodiversity. She has spent the past 2 decades investigating the effect of non-native species on plankton communities in Ontario lakes. A major focus of her ongoing work is to understand the interactive effects of multiple stressors, including non-native species. Colonization Pressure and the Insights of Supply-Side Invasion Ecology Dr. Julie Lockwood, Department of Ecology, Evolution and Natural Resources, Rutgers University, USA Dr. Julie Lockwood is a professor at Rutgers University in the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Natural Resources. Her research is a crosssection of conservation biology, biogeography and invasion ecology. Her lab group currently focuses on developing technological and decision-support tools for invasion science. She has co-written or edited four books on biological invasions and coastal conservation, and currently serves as a Senior Editor for Conservation Letters.

4 Impacts of Species Invasions in a Changing World Dr. Cascade Sorte, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of California Irvine, USA In 2014, Dr. Sorte joined the faculty at the University of California, Irvine in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and was elected an Early Career Fellow of the Ecological Society of America in As an integrative marine ecologist, Dr. Sorte s research spans ecological scales from physiology to biogeography to investigate the impacts of global change, particularly the interaction between climate change and species invasions. The Impact of Invasive Alien Crustacea an Parasitic Diseases on Aquatic Ecosystems, and Opportunities to Slow their Spread Dr. Alison Dunn, University of Leeds, England After working as a Nature Research Warden, a Lab Technician, Dr. Dunn returned to academia to undertake a PhD in Parasitic Sex Ratio Distorters at the University of Leeds. Returning to the University of Leeds as a NERC Research Fellow, then as a University Research Fellow, before joining the academic staff full-time in Dr. Dunn's labs focuses on the impacts of invasive predators on native species and behavioural, ecological and evolutionary responses in aquatic systems to multiple abiotic (climate) and biotic (disease, invasive species) stressors.
