The article discusses the issue of invasive species denialism and the accusations that have been made against scientists and practitioners in the field of invasion biology. The authors argue that these accusations lack evidence and rigor, and that they are leading to unscientific discourse and a decline in public trust in science. They also highlight the potential negative consequences for those accused of denialism, including damage to their reputation and employment opportunities. The authors call for a more considered and circumspect approach to accusations of invasive species denialism, aligning scientific work with the values of cooperation, open-mindedness, evidence, and honesty.
