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.
Time, patience, and biodiversity: a recipe for biotic resistance?
This article explores a case study of biotic resistance, where over time native species may limit the invasion of other species. A native herbivore learns to consume an invasive alga in less than a decade.
Integrating EDRR surveillance with eDNA metabarcoding
How complete are current eDNA reference libraries for the Laurentian Great Lakes region? Can we confidently integrate invasive species detection with biodiversity sampling?
Researcher Spotlight: Dr. Steve Grodsky
This month, we interviewed Dr. Steve Grodsky at Cornell University who specializes in the emerging field of energy ecology — the study of interactions among energy development, ecosystems, and people.
Researcher Spotlight: Dr. Annette Evans
This month, we interviewed Dr. Annette Evans, a postdoctoral researcher at UMass Amherst/Northeast Climate Adaptation Science Center, whose work combines invasion ecology and climate change to inform land management by modeling abundance and distributions of invasive plants.
Researcher Spotlight: Jennifer Koch, Ph.D
We hear from Jennifer Koch, whose 32+ years of work and collaborations offer a glimmer of hope toward saving our native trees from forest pests, like the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB).
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.
