Three Thomasian scientists joined foreign researchers in sounding the alarm on potential invasive species that can threaten worldwide biodiversity, a new article published in Global Change Biology revealed.

Master of Science in Biology alumnus Arman N. Pili (now a research affiliate at Monash University), Department of Biological Sciences academic researcher Mae Lowe Diesmos, MSc, and Graduate School academic staff Arvin Diesmos, PhD joined eleven (11) scholars from different parts of the world in the study 鈥淔orecasting potential invaders to prevent future biological invasions worldwide.鈥� Biological invasions, include the introduction of foreign, i.e., alien species, into a given area, have been brought about by the 鈥渆ver-increasing and expanding globalization of trade and transport.鈥�

The study provided a quantitative invasion risk assessment tool based on invasion syndromes (i.e., generalizing typical attributes of invasive alien species). The researchers based on their work on the modelling of invasion syndromes of 466 amphibians and reptile species with invasion history, then used the data to forecast possible invasion for the rest of the 16,236 species worldwide.

Based on their findings, 鈥�160 amphibians and reptiles without known invasion history could be unintentionally transported and introduced in the future,鈥� with 57 posing a 鈥渉igh risk of establishing alien populations.鈥� Such introduction may happen through the accidental transport of fresh produce to a territory by travelers.

In a spinoff article published in The Conversation, Pili and co-researcher David Chapple warned that among the species that can invade Australian biodiversity are the Graceful Chameleon, Common European Viper, and American toad.

The new tool lends itself to 鈥渄eveloping a future-proof preventative biosecurity鈥� system globally.

Both Dr. Arvin and Asst. Prof. Mae Lowe Diesmos are scholars on the systematics, ecology, and conservation of amphibians and reptiles in the Philippines and Southeast Asia.

The 65-square-meter chapel with sacristy and vestibule is located at the ground floor of the UST-TTCIC. It can accommodate up to 50 persons at a time. It will cater not only to the occupants of the building and the campus but also to the communities around UST Santa Rosa. The project includes an altar wall of natural marble stone and travertine stone as well as customized set of pews, designed with the Thomasian stamp.

Engr. Pe (CE Class of 1987) is the owner of Archipelago Builders Corporation, a category AAA construction company.  He served as President of the USTEAAI in 2018-2019 and an active member of Couples for Christ with his wife.  He remained an active supporter of USTEAAI and of the Faculty of Engineering after his stint as President.  He is also the proud father of Engr. Paolo Pe (CE Class of 2015) who played with the UST Basketball Team for five years. 鈥淚 am grateful to the University for this opportunity to assist in its long-term plan.  The plan for UST-TTCIC is very good, and I am happy to be a part of it,鈥� Engr. JP Pe said.

The UST-TTCIC is a facility that provides the venue in transitioning the Research & Innovation outputs of UST researchers to commercialization.  It shall provide the venue in which the University makes available a range of expert and technical services to business owners among UST stakeholders with particular attention to the micro- small- and medium-scale enterprises (MSMEs).  As such, it will house the Center for Research Commercialization and Entrepreneurship, which will include the TOMASInno Center (TIC) – the Technology Business Incubator (TBI) of the University. 鈥淲ith the University鈥檚 vision for UST-TTCIC鈥檚 role in our long-term plans to take Research & Innovation to the next level, it is important for us that the first fit-out project in the building is one that involves giving thanks to God and reaching out to our new community in praise of God. We didn鈥檛 have to explain this in many words to Engr. Pe. He was immediately on board,鈥� Prof. Marcelo said.

A group of UST officials met with Engr. Pe at the UST-TTCIC for a walk-through and to explain the design of the chapel.  They were pleasantly surprised when Engr. Pe handed them his gift in the middle of the discussion.  The UST Santa Rosa Team was composed of Prof. Marcelo and Engr. Shikara P. Poblete-Jose, MSc (Project Management Assistant). They were joined by the project designer, Ar. Paulo Cabatit of the Facilities Management Office (FMO). 鈥淚 hope that more Thomasians, especially Thomasian engineers, could be given the opportunity to be a part of the development of UST Santa Rosa and the whole UST, particularly in showing their expertise as builders.  We are ready to help,鈥� Engr. Pe said.
