Name: Chapman, Duane (Researcher)

Institution: US Geological Survey

Description of Expertise:

Bighead, silver, grass, and black carps have been the center of my research since 2002, but I have had an interest in these fish since the 1970s, soon after their original importations. Current research focuses on control through capture, early detection, selective toxic bait for black carp, risk assessments for carps in new locations, and early life history (behavior, development, requirements), especially as it relates to development of control mechanisms. I am also currently co-editing a symposium on snakeheads, and I have been the Research and Risk Assessment Committee chair for the Mississippi River Basin Panel on aquatic nuisance species (MRBP) for more than 10 years.

Name: Chen, Yolanda (Researcher)

Institution: University of Vermont

Description of Expertise:

I am interested in how humans have strongly influenced insect pest evolution, genetics, and ecology by selecting particular strains of crop plants, cultivating crops, and moving them around the world. Our research focuses on how these human-mediated historical ecological, evolutionary, and anthropogenic changes have facilitated insect pest outbreaks in agricultural systems.

Name: Coney, Sarah (Manager)

Institution: CRISP

Description of invasive species management work:

I am the new Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) manager for the Catskill Regional Invasive Species Partnership (CRISP). CRISP is one of the eight Partnerships for Regional Invasives Species Management (PRISM) in New York State. The PRISM covers primarily the Catskills and contains parts of the Delaware, Susquehanna, and Hudson watersheds. I have worked in the CRISP PRISM for the last 5 years on various AIS projects and overseeing the CRISP Watershed Steward Program. MY new position allows me to focus more on AIS detection and management. Right now my top priorities include the spread of quagga mussels from Otsego Lake, Frog-bit and water chestnut in the region, and other tiered species.
