Researcher Spotlight: Dr. Jacquelyn Gill
This month, we interviewed Dr. Jacquelyn Gill, a paleoecologist whose research from the past 20,000 years can help us road map into the future of plant management in a changing climate.
Embracing change in policy with a changing climate
Bradley et al. (2023) lay out ideas for better integration of invasive species and climate change policies and practices
Who’s in the driver seat? Reducing stressors not invaders may advance restoration
New research questions our assumptions about invasive plants as the primary drivers of ecological degradation. Restoration success may be limited by interactions of different stressors.
Researcher Spotlight: Dr. Julie Lockwood
This month, we interviewed Dr. Julie Lockwood, an ecologist and professor at Rutgers who investigates how invasive species impact natural ecosystems through interdisciplinary research
Promising but atypical: New evidence on water chestnut biocontrol host choice and feeding
In addition to documenting a departure from predictions in host-specificity testing, Simmons and Blossey present new evidence on the potential impacts and safety of water chestnut biological control.
Researcher Spotlight: Jennifer Andreas
This month, we interviewed Jennifer Andreas, who has worked in biological control for the last 25 years, and provides integrated weed management strategies and education to land managers in Washington State.
Building more equitable and inclusive practice
