An approach that TIEs together actionable research and management | Research summary
To round out the year, we’re sharing an approach that TIEs together actionable research with invasive species management and policy decisions, called Translational Invasion Ecology (TIE).
Researcher Spotlight: Dr. Bethany Bradley
Dr. Bethany Bradley originally set her sights on Mars, but landed here on Earth still tackling a challenge of great scale: Climate change and invasive species.
A review of genetic control options for invasive sea lamprey | Research summary
"A gene drive construct that could spread to all components of the population may mean that eradication of sea lamprey from the Great Lakes is no longer an impossible dream."
Researcher Spotlight: Dr. Annise Dobson
Dr. Annise Dobson's invasion research is motivated by forest conservation for all, particularly in urban and managed forests.
Comparing effects of invasive plant management | Research summary
This 5-year study offers considerations for monitoring the indirect effects of invasive plant treatments, such as non-target impacts, biodiversity benefits, and secondary invasion.
Researcher Spotlight: Dr. Mark Renz
Dr. Mark Renz works to improve weed management to maximize benefits to the farmer and land manager while minimizing impacts to the environment.
Researcher Spotlight: Dr. Jessica Rogers
