Description of Expertise:

My research is mainly about ecology, impact, and management of invasive bivalves such as zebra/quagga mussels, Asian clam, green mussel Perna viridis, and Rangia clam. I have experience in early detection, prevention and control of other aquatic invasive species too.

Name: Young, Brenda (Researcher)

Institution: Daemen College

Description of Expertise:

Current research focuses on ecological impact of invasive flowering plants on the pollinator community and native plant species. Specifically, I am interested in whether the presence of the invasives may alter pollinator activity and reproductive success of the native flowering plants.
